Nice one Jim.

Obviously you were not included in that comment as you would be driving your Ferrari as you would an Elise.

That was meant to read Jim, that if you were out with us with the Fezza, it would probably be at a different pace than with the FOC.

The previous owner was out with us last year on a few runs. andy ps wife now only lets me drive scooby at weekend it was the same with my05 STI
By a weird coincidence I stubled across this video which I believe is the very same car ( odometer on the dash is the give away + the lowered head lamps). Look the the previous owner was pretty handy at the wheel 8)

Note the surrounding heat haze no doubt induced by some industrious braking :thumbsup

Cal, it still has the cat :shock: with just the Lotus sports exhaust.

It pops and bangs and spits fire! I've been told by many, its the best sounding Exige ever :mrgreen:

BTW, I've never been a member fo FOC or the LCUK. Not sure if I ever will.....

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Absolutely fantastic day, best track day that I have been to yet.

Organisation and driving standards were excellent, dry weather (bloody baltic!) and a good selection of cars on the track.

Managed 117 laps between Scott and myself :D Good going considering a replacement engine was installed last week till we get the SC back!

Car was going well, fastest lap of 1.01.97 on 2nd session :)

Videos now on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTvsDvjSm50 more to follow!

Good vids, wouldn't mind seeing one towards the end of the day if you have it. I may have been a bit close to you (sorry about that :oops: ) but we were both being held up by a certain car that nearly caused me grief earlier in the day.

Guys,

Some random pics here http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_pedro/ high-res pics can be downloaded, and I have pics of almost all the cars, (not all uploaded tho), if you are after a particular car, let me know and I'll send the pic onto you.

I am hoping to get along to a few trackdays again this year, but just the shorter days, (2hrs), as I cannot get that long on the track with the old Elise, and to keep costs down. If anyone can recommend any good days, please let me know.

Cheers,
Pedro :thumbsup
