LD85

Flying to Germany tomorrow for a sales meeting. Our company is "MUM" on the play time action but they have asked us to bring "sturdy:" shoes and we have to sign a "terms of use" agreement for this facility. Don't know what type of car yet, but should be cool, probably ride with a test driver I would imagine,, we'll see.

I still think my Opel gt's a great car. I was thinking of putting a BOP 215 in it but now I think a LS1 would be a great combo. Just a little history, GM has owned Opel since the early 20th century so GM made truck and cars for the German army during WWII.

Well, our company paid for a full day of closed course driving, we serpentined through cones at varied spacing at 40-50-60kmh on dry then wet surfaces, did some emergency braking tests both with and without ABS, did some 80kmh emergency avoidance maneuvers, then finally they took us thought the entire proving grounds with the finally being a few laps around the 29-degree banked oval track at 210kmh....

We drove Opal GT's, Opal Corsa, Opal Astra and a car that looked like the Chevy SKY and a small Audi car as well.

Boy did I learn a lot.

Nope, they did not time us, it was more about them teaching us how to handle a car in extreme conditions. It was great fun!
