Guest Nick987 Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 Sorry to be the bearer of such disphoric news but sadly he has introduced this awesome beast to an all loving tyre wall (at 4:25 in the vid - link below) and is in the process of rebuilding said awesomeness to the beastlyness we have come to know and love and revere... The sad and sorry episode... Hey...I'd rather regret doing than regret not right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.J. Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 wow, that over correction really bit hard! was strange it got out of shape, he caught it and all seemed good then went away again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nick987 Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 And went so quickly! Agreed Niko...B'ga alright! Can't wait to catch up again with you on Sat for some early morning Cockadoodledoing! Go the cockmeisters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 And here I was thinking only rear engine cars did that! Oversteer - that's when you hit the wall backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 And went so quickly! Agreed Niko...B'ga alright! Can't wait to catch up again with you on Sat for some early morning Cockadoodledoing! Go the cockmeisters! I was actually thinking of leaving the roof home, and follow your lead with the top down, but weather may be a tad ordinary, and I don't want to catch my death. Cockmeisters........I like that, maybe that should be added to the forum names. Speaking of which I have often wondered how those names are established. I am very concerned that in this politically correct climate, how it is we have a FUCher and not a FUChim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-p Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 Blame Kez for the names What are you saying about the weather Niko, now you have me nervous again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Man Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 Fistly, Ouch!! Now I don't race cars at all, although I would very much like to, so please correct me if I am wrong but there seemed to be a considerable amount of oscillation in the suspension. The car just never looked securely planted at any point. Secondly, What are you saying about the weather Niko, now you have me nervous again.... C'mon Chris. This is the wrong thread for this. But since you started it I need to ask you to "suck it up a bit" mate. Be positive. The weather gods are shining upon us.................I just need to find a small animal as a sacrifice!!!!!! Thirdly, Starting to worry a little about the two lads in the Boxsters. Keep carrying on like this and you'll live up to the "hairdresser's car" image!!!! Cockmeisters........I like that........................................ .......................... how it is we have a FUCher and not a FUChim?

Niko Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 What are you saying about the weather Niko, now you have me nervous again.... Just a few showers predicted at this stage and hopefully as we go N they will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick987 Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 Theo, agreed. Looked like it went haywire very quickly...too highly sprung? Weather will be a-ok Chris, remember it is a localized phenomenon...Consensus was rain for last Sat and we had sunshine...don't sweat it. Niko, I am good with the top down, windows up and heating on full down to about 12 degrees. Add a warm polar fleece/jacket, gloves and beany that covers my ears and I am good to about 5 degrees sustained or colder for bursts. So my suggestion? Leave the roof home and give it a blast 'nude'. Like riding a motorsickle... I would hazard a guess that any hairdresser bangin about in a car selling new for 150k has their own shampoo brand or is charging WAAAAY too much for some haircuts...either way, best of luck to 'em if they packin a coxster in their load out. Me? Cockmeister and proud! (Last SMT I recall the coxsters were waiting SEVERAL minutes for the field to catch up...) Am I right Niko? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick987 Posted 8August, 2012 Report Share Posted 8August, 2012 Hey what's with the voodoo? Maybe we should all do a rain dance before we head off from Healesville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 9August, 2012 Report Share Posted 9August, 2012 Niko, I am good with the top down, windows up and heating on full down to about 12 degrees. Add a warm polar fleece/jacket, gloves and beany that covers my ears and I am good to about 5 degrees sustained or colder for bursts. So my suggestion? Leave the roof home and give it a blast 'nude'. Like riding a motorsickle... I have got to a ripe old age and have never ridden either a motor bike or a horse. I also have all my own teeth, have never had a broken bone (except my nose and I deserved that one) all my fingers and toes are intact so...I will make a decision tomorrow night on "roofs on or roofs off". I am becoming a bit of a woos in the sunset of my life. Very sad isn't it, Cheesus, I almost made myself cry then. I would hazard a guess that any hairdresser bangin about in a car selling new for 150k has their own shampoo brand or is charging WAAAAY to much for some haircuts...either way, best of luck to 'em if they packin a coxster in their load out. Me? Cockmeister and proud! (Last SMT I recall the coxsters were waiting SEVERAL minutes for the field to catch up...) Jawol, Herr CockMeister. We did good. (is that how you spell Jawol? you know what I mean though) Also now that there are two Coxsters out there, raises the question should we be Cocks Meisters or just plain Cock Meisters? That should provoke some interesting comments one would think. Am I right Niko? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nick987 Posted 9August, 2012 Report Share Posted 9August, 2012 'The Cocks, Meisters'...hmmm...has a certain ring to it! A certain cachet... And just checked, 'Jawol' is spelt 'Jawohl' according to my cherman language expert ('The Treasurer' and 'better' half (she thinks!) - she originally from the land or beer and sausage so have it on good authority...) ++1 on keepin all your bits 'factory' Horses? Meh! You can take 'em or leave 'em...only horses I desire are out back under my rear deck below where it says 'Boxster S' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick is a great guy and this wont stop him.] Patrick is some track car building, beast taming, land jet piloting race god! Ouch. That makes me cringe to look at. Feel sore just reading...

Guest vas930 Posted 9August, 2012 Report Share Posted 9August, 2012 Thats the great thing about porsche GT cars (rs gt3 gt2) you dont need to go through all the set up stuff. Just drive it to the track and its all done for you. However, building a car from scratch like this would be great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberpunky Posted 23August, 2012 Report Share Posted 23August, 2012 While I agree about GT cars being a buy em and race em type deal, the problem is the cost of entry lol Patrick's car has had a lot spent on it but not into GT3 type money. BTW it has the potential to embarrass GT cars peace Cyberpunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vas930 Posted 23August, 2012 Report Share Posted 23August, 2012 Not sure about that ,Cyber. Used GT3s are cheap. However, I love Patricks car and the build is half the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
