Anyone here drive L555*** on the M20 londonbound this morning.......Awesome flames!

I was in the 'harlequinn' spec-c.........and before you ask I don't normally drive to work in my crash hat and racing gloves!!! (must have looked a right ****!!) Got my first race next weekend and i've never used a full face helmet before, so thought i'd better get used to it...........sounds believable i think

Race helmet ftw

 

hi andy,

yep it was me lol, nice car you have, i did wonder why you had lid on lol..

 

Likewise......thanks for the reply

 

Just out of curiosity, is it legal to wear a full face helmet in a car? I know its a bit of an odd question, but there seem something a little wrong with doing it on public roads within the cockpit of a car that has a roof LOL

I'm also guilty of doing said task, wasnt sure how tall you could be in the oem STI seats before the helmet was touching the roof of the car (doh).

 

i saw you at the ashford roundabout, but i got stuck at the lights but i soon caught up with you it was good to see you driving at the legal speed limits

not sure on the helmet requirements thou.....

 

I would be extremely embarrassed if I wore a helment and gloves while driving my car! You must have got some seriously weird looks!

 

I didn't dare look at anyone else! Pretty hard to see around you with that thing on anyway.......could see in the mirrors 'though which was the main aim of the test......I saw colin steaming up clear enough!

Luckily i'm too old and world weary to get embarrased by much......my car is half red and half blue.....that would turn a lot of people scarlet just getting in it!



I've entered a club saloon championship, and my first ever race is at Lydden Hill next weekend.........I'm much more concerned about not embarrasing myself too much there......although i think i'll be happy just to finish the first one in one piece!
