Yeah excellent day, well done Paul, and you even managed to sell your car!!

Cheers to Simon for the lift, and Gareth for his rank chat, and Scotty for his....well, gestures when we needed them most!

Good curcuit, well from the pax seat it was, and thanks to all those who were polite enough not to tell me they didn't mind the weight gain in their cars!

Ed, the car is awesome, and you'll be glad to hear from the 380 pics i took that i did get at least one or two you may like to print or at least save. I will post up some pics tomorrow evening, as knackered, I have one of MAC facing the wrong way up the track after his spin, a good one of Ed locking up, The Drift King with his arse out as usual, and various other attempts at photography. I am sure Simon also has some good ones.

Cheers,

Dave :wink:

Fantastic day! 8) :D Massive thanks to Paul for organising.

Nice wee run down on Sunday (exc. the speed cameras and the plod), great banter in the pub that night, and a fantastic first trackday! :D :D :D

Will post separately about the novice trackday stuff, but the summary is:

1. What the hell was I worrying about?!
2. That's a great beginner's track
3. I'm hooked!!! :D :twisted:

Journey back was miserable with absolutely p!ssing rain. Made it back in time for the gig I was going to though. Scottydog, did you get back ok for your gig? Tried to flash and tell you I was pulling into Abington services, but you were shooting off into the distance!
