Short - Back and Side(s)ways?

Hang on here, weve got a 17 year old who has bought a car, and rather than killing himself with insurance he is getting a mate to help him get it around. :rolleyes:
Rather than waste everyones time here asking what he should get, hes gone and bought a perfectly reasonable MX5. :rolleyes:
Rather than spout off on here about how he wants to be in BDC and get sponsorship, hes actually getting out there and driving, in competition. FFS 75% of this board dont even drift. :rolleyes:

And all he gets is abuse, the same as the retards that come on every day and waste our time with their pointless dreams? Tough fucking crowd, it seems you cant actually win here. :smash:

Crabster, ignore the haters, Im properly impressed that some people still have the application to get off their arses and make things happen rather than come on here and snipe at people. :thumbs:

While i 100% fully agree with you...


Autotest is the Graham Norton of the automotive scene and the MX5 is the love sick abortion result of a test tube baby, made by hybridising DNA sourced from Boy George and George Michael (The Glam Years).

The two together are so hidiously wrong it makes me want to claw my eyes out.

Thankyouplease.

least he's doing something and doing that will teach him a lot more car control than booting it round the streets in a honda civic, if i couldn't make drift days and there was some local auto testing i'd deffo go and do it for a laugh, and i'd even do it in my mx5 too.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts as I was reading through the harshness of the replies going on here.

Callum, crack on mate. Have fun doing what you are doing and don't let the sad people who are mocking you get you down or make you feel like what you are doing is wrong/uncool. You're enjoying yourself and I'm pretty sure you're learning a lot whilst you're doing it.

Fair play for getting out in a car and having fun in it off your own back. I was driving my dads 1.9d clio around when I was your age and still messing around with RC cars.. you're a few steps ahead of where I was at that age and good on you!

The rest of you sad bastards who thought you were clever with your mocking and jibes.. grown the fuck up will you!
 
fair fucks i say , he's keen young and actually behind the wheel giving it a go , not a lot of 17 year old members on are.
 
This reminds me of fucking junior school. Anyone who does something different that appears to not be as "cool" as what everyone else does, they immediately get botted :euge:

It looks like genuinely good fun, so anyone who says it's gay must just have doubts about their own sexuality?

Admittedly its not my scene either, but its probably the most awesome thing a teenager with limited budget/resources could do, and certainly more mature than some of you "adults" on here :smash:
 
Are there many autotests held around the UK ?

How do you enter ?

What restrictions are there on the cars ?

How do I found more about these ?

This is right up the girlfriends street for starting out......

From what i gather on a Monday night for our club meetings there are actually quite a lot of autotests ran weekly around the country. Not too sure on dates though, you'd be best searching for your local motor club who will be running the events.

Restrictions car wise: Nothing :) (have a lad coming from leeds on october 31st for the autosolo in a porsche).

As i said, best bet is the club who are running the event itself. As a matter of fact, i might be able to help you out with any events local to Basingstoke quite easy, i hear about a lot coming from that area.

Join an MSA afiliated car club - they will run autotests.

We have loads of girls driving at ours, learning handbrake turns and shit. It's a laugh.

Nothing gayer than hanging round with girls though.

Nice one dude. Atleast your out there getting used to driving the car on its limit and learning to drive hard in a safe enviroment :)

There are shit loads of lifestylers on this forum who in general couldn't drive a stick up a dogs ass!!

Imo the attitudes of some peeps really bring the scene down :(
 
Another full days worth of training like that Crabster, and you'll be able to mock when Ken block goes off the track. Oh. Wait.
 
Oi, cock faces - leave him alone!
When I was 17 the only wheel spin I did was on roads in a FWD mini. Fair play to the lad for giving it a go and putting a reasonable job into it too!
 
Fair play for having a go and especially for putting it on DW. :p I'm extremely surprised that Hartlepool Council approved this event to take place in the centre of town! I would have thought that they would try to crack down on 17 year old yoofs doing this sort of thing! ;)

Ian. :D
