So we suggest LVM and get skidpan :?

I guess I'll wait.

1. Why do you prefer the LVMA? The skidpan is a bazillion times more fun IMO. :twisted:

2. Why do you say "we", caucazoid? /end Jim Carey quote

I prefer the LVMA too. Skidpans are great if you use water and no Diesel, but with the oily stuff it gets a bit less than realistic IMHO.

Because it's rare that I find myself drifting through switchback roundabouts at 30kmh on a film of diesel......... and after I've gone round once or twice, to be honest, it gets boring.

I'd rather do something that's more varied and practical.

Mate, Minh is the one organising it, if he prefers to have a skid pan day then why would he organise an LVMA?

Why not arrange an LVMA yourself if you want it badly enough, instead of having a sly shot from the sideline at someone who did get of his tail and at least arrange something.

There was no sly shot. If you go back to page 2 of the thread, the question is quite clearly raised - skid pan, LVMA or both.

And I've already done more than my fair share of organising over the years. I think you'll find a lot of the older guard have.

The title of this thread is - \"Who wants another Mt Cotton skidpan day?\"

I didn't realise there was a quota for the amount of 'organising' one person could do in their lifetime. I haven't received my badge in the mail yet.
