Drive School – Doughnut into a Powerslide (Whip and Terminate)

Frank — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:15:53 +0000

Power slide in a circle

INSTRUCTIONS
You will be going in a wider circle and this requires more skill than the simple doughnut. To begin have your car rolling in second gear then turn into the direction of steer and hammer the throttle.

Now comes the tricky bit: you have to balance the power with the steering and constantly adjust. Too much power and you’ll spin out, too little and the car will straighten up and you’ll lose the power and the slide.

Please note: The space used in this video was quite small for demonstrating this and we lost the external shots as well due to low light. I’ll refilm on a bigger track sometime soon and throw in some high-speed powerslides round a corner too.

Drive School – Handbrake turn into a parking space (the 90)

Frank — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:15:34 +0000

Don’t aim for pedestrians!

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Approach from about 50 metres out and keep the parking spot on your right. In first gear bring the car up to around 3500 revs. When you reach the empty spot between the two cars put your left hand on the steering wheel at nine o’clock and spin it round to six o’clock.

2. As soon as you begin to turn the wheel pull on the handbrake. Then correct any oversteer with the steering wheel.

3. You can also approach from the other direction. Just reverse your hands on the wheel, start at three o’clock and turn anti-clockwise. That’s it. Simple and effective.

However it is easy to overcook it so you may want to practise a little before trying this anywhere near real cars or pedestrians. To do this you’ll need four traffic cones. Lay them out just over a car length apart in your large empty area. Two on the outside edge representing the road side of the parked cars and two on the inside to mark out the area where pedestrians walk and manslaughter charges apply.

For hairpin bends we use the same principles. From whatever speed you’re doing drop down to second then first gear, turn into the corner, clutch down, apply the handbrake so that the rear wheels lock and the back end comes round. Once you’re pointing in the right direction it’s clutch up and back on the power.

Drive School – How to Do A J-Turn (Spin and Go)

Frank — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:25:16 +0000

Scare the crap out of back seat drivers!

Manual transmission
Step 1. Find your straight line through the rear window. Fix your eyes on a spot in the distance, this should keep you on course.

Step 2. Pop it into reverse and floor the throttle.

Step 3. At around 25-30mph take your foot off the accelerator. This doesn’t need to be a pretty or smooth manoeuvre but it does need to be quick as the idea is to unbalance the rear suspension.

Step 4. With your hand on the steering wheel at seven to nine o’clock throw the steering wheel away to the right. This now unbalances the front end and the car will automatically fly straight round. If it’s a good J-turn the rear wheels will stay virtually still as the front wheels spin around to the front.

Step 5. Look forward, clutch down and into first gear. Drive away.

How hard is that? For automatics the final step is even easier as you don’t use the clutch.

Step 5. (Automatic) Look forward, change from reverse into drive and away you go.

How To Really Sell EBooks by Jon F. Merz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Short concise workflow book (7200 words) for making social media work for you, minimizing the time spent on it and maximizing the results. Primarily using TweetAdder as the main tool. Pretty decent primer overall.

Dave Cornthwaite publishes to Kindle for the first time

Frank — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 08:59:48 +0000

I caught up with Dave Cornthwaite - adventurer, author and motivational speaker – at the RGS Explore event recently. He’s an inspiring kind of guy and as a fellow author we chatted through the highs and lows of publishing and especially his new book DATE in which Dave decides to find a girlfriend by attempting to date 100 women in 100 days, the result is an emotional rollercoaster that threatened to turn his world inside out and upside-down.

It promises to be a great read and I’m gonna hit buy on my Kindle right now.

We also chatted about the benefits of traditional publishing versus e-Publishing. Specifically the finances, it goes a little something like this:

Traditional book cover price: £10 | Traditional royalties: 15% (on a good deal) = £1.5 per book.

Epub book cover price: £2.94 | Kindle royalties @ 70% of cover price = £2.05 per book (not including other e-publishers or print on demand).

With Dave’s homegrown audience from his Expedition 1000 project this is a great way for an explorer to write and publish books while retaining control of the marketing and availability. And as Expedition 1000 continues he’ll inevitably sell more and more copies. Don’t know what that is?

In Expedition 1000 Dave plans to raise a million pounds for charity by undertaking twenty-five separate journeys in excess of 1000 miles in distance, each using a different form of non-motorised transport. The project will cover every continent, cross the three major oceans and see Dave reach both poles, a true global adventure with a total distance equivalent to the circumference of the Earth around the Equator

Completed Expeditions
1) Skateboard, 2006: 3621 miles (www.boardfree.co.uk)
2) Kayak, 2009: 1540 miles (www.thegreatbigpaddle.com)
3) Tandem Bicycle, 2011: 1396 miles (see page)
4) Stand Up Paddleboard, 2011, 2404 miles (see page)

24 hours to save Europe?

Frank — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:00:11 +0000

Bilderberg's Bitches

In 24 hours, our leaders may wave through a terrifying Merkel/Sarkozy plan that would abolish our right to choose sane economic policies. But, together, we can stop our leaders trashing our democracy and our jobs. Panicked by big banks, Europe’s governments want to change our constitutions and the EU treaty to permanently ban vital public spending. This is nuts: in the 1930s such spending was precisely what allowed Europe and the US to escape the Great Depression. Europe needs to toughen up and regulate the banks, not tie our governments’ hands to make them happy. We live in a democracy — so Europe’s leaders should not be able agree to this plan themselves — they need to come up with solutions that have the approval of the people or our Parliament. We only have 24 hours to save our democracies from this attack — our massive call today can force leaders to respect democracy, regulate the banks, reject austerity, and invest in our future. Our demands will be delivered to the leaders and media outside tomorrow’s meeting. Sign and send to everyone you know before the meeting!

They want to stop borrowing in an economic system that requires it for any country to remain solvent. Unless you zero all unrepayable debt, it’s meaningless.

Want to do something about it? click here for the Avaaz petition.

And remember the Bilderbergers, an unelected business and political elite make up the Presidium of the EU Parliament – the steering committee that guides the whole thing. Look up the Bilderberg attendance lists and then cross reference with the Presidium membership. An unelected bunch of suits telling another unelected bunch of suits what to think and do. And they come up with…debt slavery. Either at a low rate of return or a high one.

Yay, for planet earth!
