I've tried to keep out of this, but I feel I must say something now.
Yanina is correct, I didn't "jump ship" (and I also know Andys well enough that he probably didn't mean that as harsh as it sounds). I had been driving a Pred for 9 or 10 years (so long I can't exactly remember how long!). I felt it was time for a change, but let me tell you, it was
not an easy decision!
I hadn't know Lewis or Yanina very long, but they did everything within thier power to help me at a very difficult time for themselves (taking on a new business, moving shop premises, moving home etc..). They are a small company, with that come some negatives, there are not as many people to get things done sometimes, but with it come lots of positives too!
Running the Pred you will learn sooooo much, give it time, don't fall out with it in the early days, but more importantly learn its strengths on the track and use them. No car is 100% on every part of every track.
I am really enjoying running my new 4wd, and I am back to the point of learning new things again! It's great, I just need more track time (better get it now before the baby comes!
).
I wish the best of luck to all the new Xtreme drivers and to Lewis and Yanina - as they did to me when I told them I had decided to change my ride.
I think enough is enough guys.
