This video is a great example of how when you're on track and constantly driving near the edge, it isn't usually some catastrophic mistake that puts you into the wall. It's not very far between 99% and 101% but in one you keep going and the other you don't. I'm glad you're ok and wishing you the best in your rebuild. I've loved following your efforts both in the garage and on the Ring. You were able to drive it home all the way to England?
