My scares me hugely when im doing bout 130-40 leptons either racing or not, and I come across the slightest bend!...and also when I look at the fuel gauge!

 

And...when I break or change gear my warning light and handbrake lights on the dash light up... wierd!

 

check your brake fluid level it may be low just top it up and all done :)

Not so much scared as shocked when I first blasted her up to 165 leptons on a local private road.

 

Looked down at the speedo and thought "WTF are you doing you prat? Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass Go!..."

i find that if i push the car over the 175 mark ON PRIVATE ROAD , if there is a bit of a wind the back end of the car can become a lil unstable when i back of the power ...... it's not a good thing, it's not even a cool thing to do ... don't do it .. it can cause brown pants :) if you think its windy don't go so fast

Every time the fuel gauge goes below 1/4 of a tank....

 

Only had one scary incident down to using too much speed / power in the Soop. No doubt there will be a few more once I take it to the track.

 

I could wright a book about all the scary moments on the bike though!

I'm not too scared of the speeds but I do get the adrenaline rush and the shakes after.

 

What really does get me going though is if I push her a little to far and the back end looses traction. That feeling of having no control is horrible and gives you 'that feeling' in your stomach. I've only ever lost traction slightly at low speeds.

 

I am way to sensible and afraid a policeman will be round the next corner to do stupid speeds. :innocent:

 

The scary thing is - the more I drive it, the slower the car feels as I'm getting used to it which means I have to be careful not to push harder than I should. What about you folks?

I have also had everything blended in on my car so high kirbs and speed bumps scare me now incase it gets cracked, I was driving the other day over speed bumps and I thought I was doing fine and then I looked in my rear view mirror and saw a massive que behind me lol

LOL I came across council workers with the jcb blocking almost both sides of the road and a guy standing out with a sign telling people to go on the curb :blink: , I looked him and pointed to the rims :eyebrows: , he just nodded got up to the digger driver and move it :D he wasnt happy about it as there were ten cars each side and most of em had to reverse, still tho I wasnt going on that curb for love nor money. :tongue: (not that id make it up anyway :D)
