Well i suppose you never heard of "the wetter the better" courses then?
These are (or use to be) held at MIRA (just off the A5), it use to cost approx 295 quid and teached you all the techniques about driving on different surfaces in different conditions (mainly the wet ).

Oh silly me, forgot one bit
Just needed to say, that police driving isnt just about sliding round skidpans etc, its about the one thing people always forget, its about Observation!
Tony
Errrm actually you dont have to be a police officer to have police qualified (now for the next bit ) Instrutors (on average 99.9% are advanced driving instructors) teaching you
Now of course they would actually teach you defensive driving techniques and not aggressive, pathetically stupid...

Basically you did the right thing, just that you were too close and tried too hard to stop quickly.
Never put your foot on the clutch and brake, it makes braking distances longer!
You can use the gearbox to slow you down, but brakepads and discs work out cheaper
Would suggest you use this...

Twofast4u,
your a danger to every other car on the road :mad: if you swerve infront of cars to stop them overtaking and you think thats natural (its actually dangerous driving) then think again.
Oh it was me who said that the next 206 would whoop your ass, and even in a modified 1.4 with ecu...

Why is it that most people think that an exhaust and induction kit will give their cars big bhp?
All i see here are some young lads wanting to think that they can race and beat bigger (and basically much quicker cars...) Grow up alot will you...

Have you ever though that most cars dont want to race you?
I had some boy racer in his 1.3 nova sr with 4 people in it try playing with my scoob, it was rather wet (ie p155ing it down) and i have rather good wet weather tyres on (ie bridgestone so2pps).
There is a nice bit of duel carriage...
Monk, leave me a reply on here and ill take you out in me shed
As for where i live.... hmmmmm lets just say i dont really want to say due to the ammout of thefts of imprezas but i do sometimes pop down to the snipe area and also do shopping in A-U-L but i dont live there.

Monk, you could say that as i was in Stalyvagas tonight
(no car as was on the p155 )
Give me a flash if you see me BTW a sonic blue Subaru Impreza Turbo with 17 inch Antrachite (dark coloured alloys) but be warned, its quite a quick car (around 13 secs to 100mph+ )
Tony
Well i must condone your dangerous driving on that busy stretch of road... undertaking cars is a bit silly isnt it?
Anyway, if i ever see you, dont try racing me cos my brakes are definately better than yours and the evo (silver or yellow one?) probably was low on fuel so didnt want to go too...
Sorry to P155 on the fire but there were actually more than 400 RHD cars made, the 400 were for the UK market, this excluded places like Ireland and Cyprus (which i know had 2 allocated as i purchased my renault there when i was stationed there back in 91-94).
Dunno about the numbering though...

This is probably the best time to race a scooby, when its new i remember mine when she was new and i had problems outpacing a honda civic 1.8vtec but given a few miles under her belt and the next civic (oh and id had the PPP fitted by this time too ) i left him for dead in 5th at 70mph he did...

I do try
But having owned lots of french cars (205 pug, 309 gti, 2 306 gti-6s 1 r19 16v 2 other r19s) i wanted a change so went for the scoob
I enjoyed my r19, had her for 4yrs from new, back in 93 thou... steering feel was probably one of the best ive had, the 306 gti-6 is a little lighter...

Nick,
the 177bhp is power to weight ratio of a 215bhp uk car mine on the other hand (uk turbo with PPP and downpipe) is more along the lines of 210bhp per tonne )
The STi cheats a little over the classic uk car in which it has a 6speed close ratio box (top whack is suppose to be 180mph but...
