Cheers Rev
Big thanks to Mr. Rev and family for being the makeshift StrongBroo team for the weekend!
For thew rest of you Dave and his eldest Dylan were on spanner duties for the first round of our Renegade Cup at Oulton Park. Lovely weekend, amazing cars in the paddock (historic F2s, touring cars, Cam-am/pre-60s sports etc etc), and great to drive Oulton in anger for the first time.
Sadly, the results weren't as strong as we might have hoped - mechanical problems in practice (nearly lost a wheel at 100+ when a wishbone bolt failed) meant little practice and no chance to adjust the set-up. Qualified 5th, but a spin in the penultimate lap of the race meant I only managed 9th overall (out of 22) and 2nd in class. Ultimately, it came down primarily to lack of experience (both in the driving and engineering departments), not helped by driver rustiness, but lots of fun, and lots of lessons learned for next time

Good darts but unfortunately....
Rev doesn't post here anymore
Rev used to argue every second flaw
Sorry that he left no forwarding address
That was known to me
(Apart from Facebook, twitter and email addresses that is)

That sounds like a poo in the pants kind of moment!Nefarious wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 9:27 am mechanical problems in practice (nearly lost a wheel at 100+ when a wishbone bolt failed) meant little practice and no chance to adjust the set-up.

Saw that Dave and his son were helping you out. Looks like they had a top time too!

Re: Cheers Rev
The one that failed is for adjusting the camber, so it's not on the nut and bolt check list, because "checking" it would change the camber a bit. Hey ho - just one of those things.

Re: Cheers Rev
seriously? He was wound up so tight he'd get fired up about 3 times a day on here over stuff that really didn't matter!
Re: Cheers Rev
Well yeah, but I thought that was just his way, rather than a reason to leave the forum specifically. Surely he's just doing the same thing on twitter, Instagram and FB? After all, people are annoying on every medium.
Re: Cheers Rev
I think it's more a case of 'one less thing to get wound up about' and the forum was easier for him to drop than FB/TWIT/IG/etc where he knows other people who aren't all cunts
Re: Cheers Rev
Paraphrasing a twitter discussion, but he realised he was wasting time arguing with folks on here - better to spend his time not arguing (ok arguing less ) with folks on other platforms that were providing a more positive experience. Hence I don’t think he’ll be back.
Re: Cheers Rev
This place turned him into a bit of a nasty tit and I don’t think that he is one in real life at all.
Each to their own and it’s genuinely nice to see the positive parts of forum life happening.
Dave!

Re: Cheers Rev
Fair enough, for me those other mediums expose you to the general public. A few notable exceptions aside, I'd say the average intelligence level on here is a significant improvement!
