Today I turned 18!

So to celebrate I got a day off from work and went for a little roadtrip into Germany

And I had a little bet with Jimmy to see whos cars climbest fastest to 100kph
Now this was my first ever 0-100 launch so yeah
Time was about 9,5 seconds.





Later that day I did a much better launch with less wheelspin and better road conditions.
Didn't fill that tho.

Had a Crash yesterday. (Long post so i will spoiler it)

Spoiler (Click to View)

I was standstill, waiting for some roadwork and this one car was approaching behind me. He had a speed of around 70-80kp/h. He didn't show any signs of slowing down until he was 5-10m behind me. He then slammed on the brakes and threw the car to the left, into the opposite lane (luckily there was no oncoming traffic because of the roadwork). Conditions were snowy and icy so of course that was not working. He hit my rear left on my trailer, pushing the light bar in, and then scraping his bonnet, A-beam, right door, and B-beam on the 'floor' of the trailer, then rolling up to the side of my truck. As you can see there was some material damage, but luckily, the two people inside, 50-60 years old was not physically hurt. The driver said he was cleaning his windshield, so he couldn't see. There was a little less than a kilometer of open road behind me, so he had plenty of time to see that we were standstill. I'm not buying that excuse, in other words..
I snapped a lot of pictures (for the insurance) and i will show you some of them!

Nice, but I'm almost as fast in a Ford escort 1.8, I'm sure after some practise you can get below 9 seconds.

I've recently had some trouble with this as well, since I bought another new car... Teaser

You've bought another Saab?

Correctomundo. It's a Saab 900 2.0i Turbo Talladega, with a few bits stolen off a 9-3.
And it would go like stink, if only I could get some grip on boost.

The moment when your car has 90hp and weighs 980-1200kgs dry, and it spins 4th gear into 7k rpms when you try to pass a truck.

If it's a bit wet and I turn the TC off, mine will spin the wheels at 110mph!

Oh, and flames, because

I daren't try in these wintery conditions I'm just going to lose my studs.

I already lost half of my studs back in November 2015, cause i had to change to winter tyres very early due to me being stupid and burning my summer tyres in a meetup, left no thread on the tyre and waterplaned beside a truck...

At the moment, theres only one stud left that touches the ground, all others have either snapped or flew away..

First gear and a really hard clutchkick can do wonders it seems.

I wonder how can you get a tank moving without a real engine
