I was very gentle with that car - it was a bit gutless - somehow disappointing - when you hire a Hyundai Atos or whatever, you expect it to be utterly sh*t and anything you get out of it is a bonus; but when you get a Focus you think it might actually be OK - that one wasn't though!! Still it got us there and back without drama :-)

Cheers,
Robin

Bored with Knockhill?

Tired of hanging around Boness harbour chatting to lonely sailors, a young WankR "gingerly" takes to the track at Zandvoort.

Yep, that's kelvin driving i believe. Zandvoort is a bloody brilliant track, and no video can do it justice to just how up and down it is, or how much G force you can pull.

That was my first trackday away from Knockhill, and opened up a whole new world of fun to me. Also, that was before WankR, i was just Wank back then, or 4mil to my close friends :lol: Hence why Kelvin's pesky honda could reel me in so quickly. Great laugh.
