Hey guys

I did a 1/2 day safe driving course the other day at Lakeside here in Brissy, and for part of it I got to drive around the track.

The best thing though, Craig Lowndes jumped in with me, then after a few laps showed me how to really drive my stocko BA around! That man can drive, I've never seen anyone driving with one hand drift my car around a track like it was nothing... top driver, top bloke also, even signed my dash! Howzat!

Best of all I got in car video!

Yeah yeah, Im braggin a bit, but it was the best day I've had in a loooong time.

I'd recommend doing something like this again, maybe with a group of guys from here? Anyone interested?

Cheers!
Luke

Sorry about the slight delay

I've only had 1 day off at work for the past 3 weeks, heres the pic of the dash.

I don't really have anywhere to put the video as I have 2 problems, 1. I don't have space on the net for X amount of video space. 2. I only have dial up...

Cheers big ears!

lowndes is a famous person that would site down with you and have a cofee or a beer talked to him many occasions at autobarn in dubbo a few years back (also a mate spoke to him and lowndes pretty much straight out said skaife is a utter f**k wit) and have also spoke to him at bathurst 05 when grant denya was doing sunrise in the pits... and alos this old broad asked lowndes to ring her son and "wake him up" classic stuff and yeah lowndes is cool
