I met him at the shell petrol station before the track night. He asked to follow me to Knockhill as he had never been before, so it was obviously his first time. He was with another orange exige and dark grey Elise.

Were you in the silver VX? If so I had great fun following you and the red VX for quite a few laps. I was in the red Z4M.
That would have been lewis in the silver Vx turbo and John in the red supercharged Vx.

You were going very well Stu. Like you say, I could match you on the straight, but as soon as we got to a corner you were gone. Great fun and great mix of cars out today.
