AMP3 trackday - excellent!

Just like to say huge thanks to Shug/Andy/AMP3/Archos and whoever else was involved in this today

The weather was fantastic, and the driving standards were most excellent, even more so when you take the relatively high newbie count into consideration - and all for a good cause too!

The Snot was performing nicely, plenty heat getting into the tyres thus allowing plenty sideways tomfoolery (Thanks for the waves Gareth from the pitwall

) - only had one very brief off and that was purely down to avoidance of another 7 doing a bit of showboating exiting the hairpin (I used the gravel to escape any contact) - you know who you are!

Gutted I can't make tonight's pishup, as I'm quite partial to a drop of Stella on occasions

- wife said "next time" - is there gunna be a next time boys?

Brilliant drifting Ross...I tried it twice...and twice I ploughed the fields.
Apart from that, The Toxic Frog was running mega. Had some fun laps with Tut and I even gave Scotty a shot....I think he may of liked it...

Thanks to all that organised...oh..and surely Simon won the award for spin of the day?

Great day.

And the 211 is lovely in the flesh methinks

Driver of the day goes to JJ and whoever else managed to avoid me when I went broadside at duffus.

Lesson learned!

Well, that was fun

I'll add my thanks to Shug and Andy for a great day and to all of you that tried to calm my nerves before heading out on the track!! I cant believe it's taken me three and a half years to get round to it, had a great day though.

Thanks Scotty for the instruction and passenger laps -awesome

A lot of practise required for me, but at least I know what I should be trying to do now. Need to try using those pedal things a bit more!!

Apologies to anyone I might've held up

That includes Kenny who had me as ballast for a few laps near the end - cheers dude, was great

I had a great day too, was really happy with my driving and my car was going really well. Had my first ever spin in the dry at KH today, which was a result of trying just a little too hard at the chicane

Cant add too much more to what has been said already. Top afternoon guys, thanks for all the hard work in organising. Gutted I couldnt make the party, but am getting stuck into a couple of bottles of Corona while the wife is seranading me with old Oasis hits

. Me thinks I need to crack open another case!!!!

Great day, big thanks to Shug and Andy for organising such a great event

Nice to meet a few more people (meatball, Nizzy, Lee, Neil, Noops and a few more!), as well as the regulars, driving standards were good and I hope the beginners will all be back

I got a decent amount of footage on the bullet cam, but sadly Movie Maker (Vista

) is refusing to play
