Red misting when following Shug from Applecross to Abz on MT. Following him in to a overtake move when in the zone and realising I was ~30% down on power and ~40% down on talent and bugging out while eyeballing the black clio I was level with. Still beat him to Towers! <BG>

Two particularly good memories:

- Exiges.com day out at Donington

- Mexi Towers drive from KH to Ballachulish on a perfect summer evening.

Hate to say it (feels like self-congratulation somehow) but I had the most blinding time on my birthday run. Class company all day, great weather and a brill finish, with those who stayed for the party. Top, top day.

Also - Mexi was notable for the mentalist routes, great company and rediculous amount of booze ingested (cue Kenny's photo)

2 top highlights of the year for me

Le Mans in the Snot - it pished it doon all the way from Zeebrugge to Le Mans without roof doors or windscreen - and it was fcuking magic

This year was the year i stopped driving like a girl (well drove less like a girl

) and really started to lean on the car and see what it could do..........and statrted to have lots of fun.

Best memories were at the Brunty KH days, chasing Kenny at the start of the year with walls of snow either side of the road (and keeping up for a bit

) and my first ever trip to Le Mans.

Lets not forget that this year was really the "comign out" year for SE2, that alone is a good memory of 2006.

EDIT: It was also my first ever spanner and sponges at Mac's house and I'm still surprised and humbled by the amount of good feeling and helpfulness that surrounds SE. Long may it continue.

The weekend of rough love (Walshy Day and Cadwell)

East Fortune - different circuit and my car with new geo, Exige wheels & spring and A048's inspried loads of confidence.

Most suprising realisation - i love wet trackdays at KH - far more entertaining than dry ones, especially with bald rear A048's

A lot of good runs too though, and met loads of sound SE'ers this year!

Thanks to everyone for making each outing a great occassion.

Here's to topping it in 2007.....and to my masterplan which WILL keep me out of MMC

I will go with Mac,s story,as I cant remember anything.....must be the fumes.

Mull and Skye camping trip was good though.....what I can remember of it

Other than that,I have not used the car much,only 2 (yes 2) track days.Used to average more than that a week a few years ago.Not many road runs either....must be getting old

Mexi Towers

And taking the elise off road at the same event....both very character building

Oh and the first evening with the Janspeed fitted before the sooting and mellowing out of the sound......Roaring around Dundee for a couple of hrs...so funny!!

Getting the car... that newbie fever!

Zippy's run cos it was my first

My radiator blowing as I overtook a cyclist, giving him a nice orange shower thru the bonnet vent.

(Then he overtook me

)

Oh, and too many magic moments and close encounters on roundabouts & B-roads to mention

Getting my first ever Elise after dreaming about owning one for the better part of ten years.

The borders run organised by AndyG, as it was my birthday that day, we had fantastic weather, and the roads were great. Definitely made it a memorable birthday.

Oh, and my first sideways moment on the above run . . . and managing to catch it and straighten up . . . phew!
