Had a good day up at Knockhill today, some good racing from the different classic series, nice to see these cars getting a proper workout :D Bumped into Brian J, and also spotted a blue S1 (T***JDG) parked just along from me, anyone on here?

The display of 5 (red!) F40s was a personal highlight, at least one was getting a good thashing on track, although one at least was merely pootling round.

I've uploaded a few pics here: http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f136/ ... ir%202007/

In hindsight taking the Exige might not have been the best idea, but thankfully I managed to get it out of the car park without getting stuck. When I got back to the car I was pleasantly surprised to find a flyer under the windscreen that started "Dear supercar owner" :lol:

That made me smile too, especially when I noticed that no one around me had one!

I spied your Exige (although to be honest it's fairly hard to miss!) and also saw the dark blue Elise. My silver s1 was sitting on the rubble / road kinda bit just down the hill from yours as I was there fairly early.

I also saw a yellow vx220 turbo in the paddock, and a grey s2 exige just outside the gate where you pay.

It was a good day, F40s are incredible, and that road Vanwall was ace. Nice to see Stirling Moss again, hope I'm still driving at 77!

That'll be the same one I got a while back, from a garage in East Lothian?

Was it in an envelope?
Green Subaru Impreza Turbo, a 'classic'.

To be honest, I can't remember where the place was, but it was a garage chatting about servicing etc...

It wasn't in an envelope, but i'm sure it was formatted and folder such that it could have been put in one.

It's from a company called M.P. Supercars, based in Cockenzie, East Lothian. They sound reasonable enough, but they could at least get a proper email address rather than a Hotmail one... :wink:

Not a F40 in site :( . Were some nice early type 20 Lotus racing cars and a beautiful Europa Special though.

Did see a Titanium S2 in the car park though and a VX220 with stripes came blatting past me (I was in the family wagon) on the way up to KH chasing a biker. :wink:

Scott
That'll have been me :oops:
Still not sure about the stripes!! I'm just scared about losing the paint when i peel them off!! :lol:
Should have thought about that before LeMans i think!!
:D
