·Some times ,and I say sometimes I have to remind myself what EVOness is all about.
I had a good thrash around Snett on sunday ,but its not untill you hit the general roads that it all comes flooding back.
Track days get you to a limit that you cannot achieve on the road ,with out a tree or obsticle that presents a problem when driving fast.
I go out at night ,when the traffic is tucked up in bed and all that remains is the wild life to contend with.
Tonight has been what I promised myself after a boring day at work A SESSION ON !
I don't mean after a few pints take the car out ,but a Session that will thrill me to the extent of making my heart pound and my palms sweat.
did about 30 miles tonight ,part motor way part general A roads and then the B road ,back lane ,slipery ,muddy farmers been out type of roads .Wing mirrors tucked in ,flip the drivers mirror to night ,and just go for it.who gives a flying fk what behind.
For those that came on the meet a little while ago the country roads are pretty good around these parts.
But I took the lanes ,twisty bliters ,front end loosing types when you can't see the bends coming up.
What happens ?I run over another fking domestic animal.Now I am a animal lover and at 10 pm I did my duty to knock on the local house doors to find out whos beloved animal it was .I will give it a name as it was called Charlie.
The poor woman was in tears and her husband comforted her I was gutted ,and i expalined that I had found it in the middle of the road and felt I should do my duty and find the owners ,as I have had many cats run over by various motorised vehicles.
I felt guilty on the way home having told a large porky and removed the debris from my front end .
Why is it that animals don't hear a fast moving vehicle when the night is silent ,and they have to run out front of me when there are 100 acres of bloody field to lolop in .
This is my 3rd cat death , one side swipe of a dog and a bolting of a horse rider.3
Evo's are not animal friendly.
