Not Ranked
So glad Pete is alive. He could not anticipate that was going to happen. These cars can bite anyone. In my first week of owning my first SPF. I was in a parking lot with my brother showing the car off to a friend of his. I gave the engine a quick blip and dropped the clutch to just turn the tires over. Let off an hit the brakes in 2 seconds. Gravel in the parking lot I did not see caused the car to swap ends and stop just 5 feet from a poll in the ground. Taught me a major lesson. (And again not saying Pete could have done anything cause he could not have. Just pointing out the unexpected things that can happen at any time...)
