that was probably me on the long way home route i love that right hand corner as you come off the a38 on to the 516.

Always give it a blast down there as i do far too much town driving during the day.

It is prodrived by the way so dont feel bad about not being able to keep up .

Just remembered you pulled up behind me at the kingsway/city hospital junction and i saw you pissing yourself at the broken down three wheeler van man on the slip road from kingsway.

I was going to post about this but i see so many scoobs in derby these days I'd be on here all night

Hi,

I always give it a blast down there as I only work on the wyvern and most of the route home is through town.

My favorite trick is to approach that corner at 70 mph and other cars try to creep along the outsideside until they realise I'm not slowing for the bend and then drop back.

I did notice your wagon seemed to pull really well around that bend.

The Three wheeler was quite funny, the guy looked really Pi$$ed off.

Do you live in mickleover?

have to say i was taking it slightly easy as i had just picked up the nipper from nursery.
apparently if you take that corner right on the inside you can ahem (so i have heard ) hit 85 as you exit nicely for the straight not that i would EVER do that naturally.

Yes I am in Micklover not far from the ambulance station.
Flat four isnt to far away either he is rebuilding an an sti wrx ra right off

I was looking at Flat four's project the other day, its looking good.

I guess I'll see you on the A38 sometime.

yes within short walking distance walking of the Nags but i dont think you are allowed in there without your pipe and slippers the vine is much better.
Saw you head down ladybank Rd
