  • Radical Test Drive

    Just got back from testing a brand new racing car in Zhuhai!  I am in love with the Radical!  It has just arrived in China and I was lucky enough to have been invited to be not only one of the first to test it but the FIRST GIRL to test drive it…it was absolutely amazing!!!  During most of the day, I spent it worrying and praying since it was raining pretty hard which meant that it would be too dangerous for me to test it…but due to luck and  my persistency, the rain eased a bit, and I got to test it the last 15mins.  All the guys including my good friend Jimmy Lin were taking bets on how many times I was going to stall since Jimmy stalled once himself and they all said it was hard not to, also the steering wheel was on the right and it was manual...but I just sped off….haha!!!  I’m sorry I’m bragging but it feels good when guys doubt your ability and you show them What’s Up…anyways, they all clapped when I got back so it felt really good.  For those that don’t know yet, I got into racing a few years ago and discovered that I love it and I’m pretty good at it…so try to be around it as much as I can.  So about the Radical…it’s a great car because it feels like a Formula car but safer because of the build.  I like to go fast but I have to admit that Formula cars such as the Renault scares me a little because there is less shell, whereas the Radical wraps you more giving you a sense of security, which I prefer.  But the feel and speed is that of a race car, not a sports car...so for all you fellow racers out there…they are promoting this car right now so the price is around what it would cost for a V6, it will go up gradually.  As of now, I am hoping to either purchase one myself, with friends, or get sponsored to race…keep everyone updated…enjoy the pics!

    I think I can help.  Just upload the videos on to your Youtube page, and then post them in a blog on your alivenotdead profile.  I really want to see that car in action.  How much horsepower does it have?

    You lucky, lucky, lucky!  I use to valet cars at a nice hotel in Portland, Oregon.  There isn't much that is street legal that I haven't driven for at least a couple of blocks.  The Radical, and probably anything else you get to drive, are in a whole other realm.  Kudos to you for making it happen.

    The track in Zhuhai is a lot of fun...I've raced on it before...the Radical is really cool...it's also kinda like the one in Batman, but you're right more like SpeedRacer...
