By the state I left a few of you in last night, i'm guessing the forum is still pretty light this lunchtime.

Just wanted to say thanks to Andy, shug and the rest involved for a great day yesterday. A fantastic day but I think the phrase for the weather was character building!

A few highlights were -

The worlds longest auction/raffle, still laughing at Neil being over the moon to think he'd bought a walshy day - only to find out it was a pair of speakers he bought (largely due to Mr mckenzies "misdirection"). Great action and a top sport for taking it so well.
Walshy Instruction - after 15mins of being told how much I was doing wrong i was ready to give up, but the feeling of getting a good lap and how much more right everything felt towards the end - fantastic. Def will be booking a proper lesson down south early in the spring.
A certain white 911 who's driver , judging by the amount of time spent sideyways, must sleep with his arms in the crossed up position. And a 430 who rather than come out of the corners sideways seemed to be going into them at full on 90 degrees !
Finally, got chatting to a young lady in the pits who looked all alone who spent the next 10 mins telling me how she totalled her dads tvr, had a ludacris amount of speed from her 1.0l corsa and an even more ludacris amount of speed from her current hire car (after she totalled the corsa), left me :shock:

All in all a great fun, great company, great day!

Dont know if we will be able to follow the event up but keep an eye open for info on an se charity xmas night out to be announced soon.

cheers

Seconded! I wasn't able to attend last night, but had a really good track session, and good to catch up with a few folk I'd not seen since AMP3 trackday last year!

Hope we raised a decent amount?

Big thanks to Andy, Shug and everyone else involved.
It was an excellent day, despite the weather (which made my first real track session very interesting :shock: )
A special thank you to Mass and Robin for your expert tuition. I'm sure it helped me stay on the black stuff :thumbsup .
Mass, good luck with the repairs.

You are welcome, not that I'm an expert! I thought you did very well in the challenging conditions - keep building up the speed and take your time. As Andy likes to say, don't confuse ambition with talent :-)

Cheers,
Robin

Thanks to Andy, Shuggy, Ed and everyone else at AMP3 for organising a fantastic day and night for such a great cause. :thumbsup

Alan and I had a great day, I think it was just what the dr ordered!!

Thanks to McKeann for taking me out in his car and managing to control it while aquaplaning on the back straight towards the hairpin. Was quite scary to see my car a couple of metres in front (being driven by Ali), then not see it at all because of the water while we aquaplaned towards it! :shock: Not put me off going out with you again though!! :thumbsup :lol:

The BBQ was such a laugh too. Result on winning the Geo setup at MMC! Sorry we didnt get a chance to say bye to everyone before we left, we figured it would take me another hour to leave the building if we did!! :damnfunny Roads back to Abz were quite wet so I sat at a steady 60 until Dundee where the roads started to dry off a bit. Eventually got home at 1.30am, and had a lovely long lie in this morning!

Alan felt a little rough this morning and couldnt understand why, as he only had 3 beers, but when I reminded him he was still probably only 3/4 back up to normal blood levels he realised why he felt not so good!! He was chuffed to be able to hold his beer glass in his right hand though and compare battlescars with Walshy!! :lol:

Thanks again guys!! Roll on next year!! :mrgreen:

Just like to say a big thanks to everyone for a great day on Friday, it had been far too many years since I'd been on track and really really enjoyed myself. Great to catch up with old friends and nice to make some new ones.
Great job to all the organisers and hope you managed a hefty donation to a very worthy cause

Rob

flip flop the young girl in the pits was alana. The girl who I brought. I'll tell her she was quite rude to leave without saying goodbye.

Thanks to all who played a part this weekend. Another bigthanks for another fantastic day and night. Cheers
