After trying to illustrate the pain that is improving one's times with GPL, wifey has given me some INVALUABLE advice!!! I was telling her how hard I was finding it to manage a sub 9 at the Ring, and that the WR was a 7:45, expressing awe at being able to concentrate that hard for that long. However, I hadn't realised how easy it is to better such a time. According to my wife, all I should have to do is "practice the track solidly for a 'couple of weeks'" and I'll be there. Bless! If only life was that simple! :-( Jonesy Remove "ANTISPAM" when replying. GPLRANK (F1): +65.95
im suprised she didnt say `let me show you how to do it` then u coulda sat back and have a real laugh :o) Bluemooney "Craig Jones" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ts_w7.11675$[email hidden]... > After trying to illustrate the pain that is improving one's times withGPL, > wifey has given me some INVALUABLE advice!!! > > I was telling her how hard I was finding it to manage a sub 9 at the Ring, > and that the WR was a 7:45, expressing awe at being able to concentratethat > hard for that long. > > However, I hadn't realised how easy it is to better such a time.According

She drove very neatly, not extremely fast, but really well. While I was driving too fast and crashing all over the place :^) It was quite cool.

amazing but true the wife is usuallly better at GPL mine did a spendid time at her first try ( after many laps ) but was her first computer driving game..... maybe they tend to take it easy while we are always pushing :-0 Milan Poll� <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q2bmo$1lcqj$[email hidden]... > > "Nigel Pengelly" <[email hidden]> schreefin bericht > news:[email hidden]... > > im suprised she didnt say `let me show you how todo it` then u coulda sat > > back and have a real laugh :o) > > Bluemooney > > Actually my wife was quite good at GPL the first timeshe played it.
