those of you who couldn't make it, get some excuses thought out in good time, you are
missing out in spades.

Guys

that road was challenging, esp as it was my first time.
lets do that road again, but one word of warning, just don't go too extreme.
1] Start Heliport
2] route 8 to Shatin and tolo road to Taipo mei
3] Luk Keng to Yuen long
4] Kamtin road to Tai Moshan

cut the time for snacks to "a fag and coke"

by the way lets take our hats off to the E60, such a big car and able to hold its own even against
a 335i and keep up with a Porsche RS, that alumiminium front and 50:50 distribution still commands respect eh boys?

Stanley - as mentioned 1 school tip for each mod you do, a legit way to get them approved by the wife

next meet 9th Jan??

time to get your next mods boys before the meet, those Brembos are very tempting,
time for the white LCI to get those and come out to play.....

I'll probably do a preliminary run before our next drive. Just want to get a flavor of the turns, the lights, uphill & downhill.

Please let me know ahead of time for the next run. Prefer Fri or Sat. Have your own dinner or start dinner at 7pm. Then start the drive a bit earlier. It will be more fun if we each get a walkie-talkie.
will do

maybe 16th or 23rd

I think it is better to stop off at a car park at Tai po and then Luk Keng and then Tai Mo Shan and have a fag and coke. the the drive will not but so long each time and we can chit chat

I am sure if you had full blasted on the gas pedal while the Mini overtaking on double white lanes, he would be off a cliff or headon to opposite traffic.

I saw I pulled on the straight and you close up after corners ... some suspension work is a must...when will AK be free? should I just go down or do I need an appointment or something?

Lets do that next time with the M3, the key is to keep it at high rev. The understeer issues should be less obvious in the M, but it tail happy would be fun....

yes it was fun
I saw you brake very early and saw that you understeer that is why I say about 3 cars lenth from you.
you need to get ak47 to tune the suspension.
