KiwiBirkin Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Talking with some of the local guys who drive sevens we were chatting about taking people out in our cars and the experiences they have this is probley the worst one/funnest one I have had. As the driver of a Seven car I love taking people who have never been for a drive in this sort of car out in Grace for a blat the expressions on their faces start off with hmmm not too sure about this I can see the road and maybe touch it, which then develops into the biggest grin you can even imagine as we blat along and take some fast corners . On Christmas day my wifes neice (Chelsea) and boyfriend came out for Christmas dinner along with the rest of the family and they hadnt been in the car yet the boyfriend was a nice lad who was into fast fours and words of "man thats fat" and "awsum" came out of his mouth when he saw ther car so of we went for a quick blat around the normal circuit I take guest for a drive, anyway after a couple of lets say interesting corners he became very quite but the grin was still there at the end and he reckoned it was better than driffting. Anyway now the niece wanted a go as a passenger she is 21 a great looking girl, legs up to her armpits and didnt really have much on except a skimpy summer dress as it was a warm 28 degsC that day, so off we go again with her screaming most of the way around the 5km loop that was untill we hit the blackbird at speed down one of the straights this bird flew right in front of me low and wedged its self in amongst my LH tyre and brake caliper and started to come apart all ove the poor neice sitting in the passengers side, first thing i know is there is this might scream (F@^K) while were doing 100kph + and I look left to see her face full of blood and guts and feathers from this bird strike and her spitting feathers out just as fast as they are going back in (it was the funniest thing I have ever seen in my car) as i slowed down for some reason the rest of the blackbird released and hit the neice fair square in her chest and slid down inside her top by the time I stopped. Now I wasnt going to retrive the blackbird at the side of the road so asked here if she was ok while still spitting feathers out and decided it was best to get her back home fast to clean up. On arrival home some of the family were waiting for us as we had taken a bit longer than normal the look on their faces when we turned up was priceless Chelsea was coverd in blood and feathers and was still plucking bits of blackbird from down her top while she was still screaming get this F%@king thing off me as loud as she could when we pulled into the drive, my wife gave me the evil eye while her two brothers were screaming with laughter upon seeing thier poor neice in such a mess (no photos were allowed bugger). Since then she has never been for a ride in the car again but here boyfriend cant get enough of it and is even trying to sell his WRX boy racer car to fund one.

KiwiBirkin Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 The worst part about it all was I was going to put my GOPRO HD camera on and video the rides but at the last moment I didnt because of a time factor :banghead: would have looked great on one of those home video shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Good thing you didn't have a video of the event, some bleeding heart bird lover would see it and try to pass a law against driving 7's without a bird deflector. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestTexasS2K Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I took a prospective buyer for a ride in mojo after the supercharger install. He talked about all the fast mustangs and stuff he had. We were at motorsports ranch. He jumped in and wanted back out before I even got the tires warm. I was going 2/3 speed he was white as a hospital sheet when he got out he promptly left the track never to be seen again. I had to apologize to Brian for running off a customer.

Did this to a car dealer once in a Subie..it was his fault for not noticing the racing shoes I had on..I mean , c'mon..their yellow alpinestars. needless to say I'm not welcome at that dealer anymore. :rofl: I can't wait to get my seven so I can do this kinda stuff.

scannon Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 In the early 70's I took a test drive in a Porsche 911 in Salt Lake City. It was at a Chevy dealer and the salesman insisted on coming along with myself and a friend so he got the tiny back seat. The only curvy road close to the dealer was a park call Memory Grove situated in a small canyon. We went through at a very brisk pace and as I slowed at the end I heard a strange noise from the rear. I looked back at the salesman and he was white as a ghost and looked like he was having a hard time breathing. I asked if he was OK. He nodded but couldn't seem to get his vocal cords working. When we got back to the dealership, he disappeared. We waited for awhile but he didn't come back. We left as I didn't think it was the right car for me. More recently, I was at a small cruise in at the Sonic drive in. As I was leaving a 20ish woman and her boyfriend approached me and asked if she could possibly have a quick ride. Since I'm a pushover for pretty females asking for rides I invited her into the Caterham and we set off. There was a block long back street behind the Sonic and when I got it straightened out I nailed it up through 3rd gear. She started screaming about the time I hit 2nd and didn't stop. I slowed as soon as I hit 3rd and she continued to scream. I drove back slowly trying to calm her but she continued screaming until we got back to the Sonic. Her boyfriend had to lift her out of the car and she finally stopped screaming and started to hyperventilate. I guess her idea of a quick ride was a little different than mine. I've had a couple of grown men scream a bit the first time they experienced the acceleration of the car but nothing like this woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I enjoy watching my passengers stick their hands out when I late brake into a curve. Yeah, one of my buddies who has a boxster did that once and I said "what's the matter?" He said, " you missed your braking point" and I said, "you're just not use to a car that handles well":smilielol5: For some reason he didn't think that was funny. Funny thing was, that I wasn't even pushing it.:cooldude: Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slngsht Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I have never heard anybody scream in frankn7 As Jon once described the experience http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/ls2sam/8wjhvs.gif But then again, I happened to be on the victim side when mopho took me for a ride in his backyard. I had to ask him to slow down after 10 minutes of twisties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I gave a ride to a Viper owner in my Miata on the local highway patrol training track. On the first fast corner fondly known as the widow maker, he slammed his right foot on the floor and pulled the upper part of the grab handle off the door. I asked him what was wrong. He said I was so far beyond his braking point he was sure we were going to die. Four times that has happened in the Miata. I get tired of pulling the door panel and replacing the plastic insert in the door. It does have oversized 4 pot Wilwood brakes with very aggressive pads for the track.
