So he hired someone to drive his Lotus Elise around the ring and they blew it up. Was it something special to start with or does he just tweet a lot for attention, just wondering?

drcarlos not impressed with that story.It's all Toyota bits in that Elise right? So probably not super expensive to get fixed.

Now is probably an oppertune moment to offer him £50 for it!

I read it as all he wanted was the guy to say sorry.

Just seems odd that being a car guy you'd hire a 'Race' driver to drive your road (all be it pretty decent by the sounds of it) car, when surely part of the ownership experience is to explore driving it like that yourself? If you want to go fast at the ring with a race driver take the ring taxi and so it's their machinery that's risked not yours.
His car and his money I guess but don't write a twatter essay on it.

You should get on twitter to let him know how much he's DIW.

Sometimes you just need to see how they handle being pushed to the limits in expert hands. Same with cars.

This professional racing driver doesn’t know how to drive a RHD car?

I think he wants other people to highlight that the PROFESSIONAL is actually a TAUC that broke his car. And he can continue to pretend that he wasn’t already thinking that?

Some people just go into “do not acknowledge the issue or offer any form of apology that could assign blame” mode when they fuck up over fear of having to pay. I used to see it on building sites a lot (though that was often more total denial).

Racing driver was hired by his mate, for tutoring, as his mate does every trip - not specifically to drive the Lotus for them. They asked him to have a go in the Lotus to see what someone who knew what they were doing could do with it.drcarlos wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:04 pmJust seems odd that being a car guy you'd hire a 'Race' driver to drive your road (all be it pretty decent by the sounds of it) car, when surely part of the ownership experience is to explore driving it like that yourself?

A car going pop whilst you’re driving it is unfortunate. Shifting into 3rd instead of 5th and over-revving the ever-loving shit out of it is the action of a ham-fisted fuck nugget. A professional being paid to drive the car based on his extensive experience should have some sort of professional indemnity cover, right? Or some sort of contract or service agreement setting out liability and all that shiz?

Maybe he doesn't and is hoping to get something written on twitter that he can later use as admission of guilt in a claim of some description. He's a car dealer after all.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 4:34 pmA car going pop whilst you’re driving it is unfortunate.
