Will also keep an eye open for runs.

Perhaps I might be able to entice some of you to a run I am organising in April?? Had one last year and was a great day out. Some might have done the route already.

(you might recognise some wee nutters in the clip also )

Like the doughnuts at the start of the vid

. I am off to the States in a couple of weeks and I have booked a Mustang as a hire car through Hertz. Never driven anything remotely like it so I can't wait - might feel a tad different to the Exige

Yes indeedy. Will keep you all posted on it. You can give the VX's a run for their money (joke guy's

)

I think you will really enjoy it. At least you don't have bends and bad weather to deal with. You might even get the GT500 as they are renting those out now.

Aye the dougnuts.......... used to be a speciality of mine (TCS a great button) I try and not do so much of that anymore. Not since this happened at 70mph a few months back.

But hey. As my camera was mounted to the car for the run you never got to see him so the doughnuts had to be done.

I think you'll find we did quite well

Roads are a wee bit too open at the start for the VX but the day was brilliant - mainly thanks to the banter and the cracking weather! It's also not every day you are "pressing on" and you get passed by a lambo, then skyline then a flame spitting viper.

Definately be up for the next one

Liam actually said I could take the Lambo for a run if I wanted when I got to sit in it. But there was no way I could of done it. Good man for trusting me though. At the end you can "just" see the Lambo spitting flames at me as I caught up with him (ok ok he was slowing down)

A couple of weeks later I got to take the Skyline R34 for a run. Have to say I was a giggling schoolgirl by the time I got home with it. Have great footage. But sad to say only myslef and Andy can view it on the laptops. Definatley NOT something to post on youtube.
