Woody - great day out mate - please pass on thanks to everyone involved with organising and running it, great fun.
Was nice to see everyone out, in great form, and quite a few people taking to a track for the first time. For those that haven't driven it, Kames it a bit like a tarmac farm track, great fun, but very tight.
Sanjoy was making me laugh, with his desire to try to get his shed sideways at eny given op. Spinning is a sign of effort, and congrats on missing everything. Do spin 2 or 3 times at Kames and stillmanage to clip nothing is quality, almost as good as your vault in to the car
Went out with Shug, who was in typically bouyant form, and hoping to get back to his sideways antics of old, although i think having his car set up properly was perhaps meaning it wasn't trying to kill him as much as the old set up! Cheers for the pax dude - we need to get out more
Going out with Big D showed you just what a different animal the Evo was, and great fun. We had a very interesting chat about the differences and then Big D showed me just what utter contempt the Evo holds for kerbs the Atom would spit the dummy over! Awesome laugh mate! Anyone that hasn't been out with D, definately worth it as ; A - he can peddle, and B - its so different to the RWD cars, and is great to witness being driven at that pace!
George and i held our first Scottish Atom Owners Club meeting, AGM, strategy confernce, and had a great day hooning about. Really tight, so getting it sideways for the willing crowd was tricky, but i was trying. Had to start concentrating though when after bieng told there was no timing, found out George and I were heading the field on 29 secs anticlockwise, so went out for the final session and posted a 28, only for George to match it straight after! Great effort!
The SAOC then headed for Strathaven, at what can only be described as a spirited pace! Ali, was oblivious to the fact that we were well in to Vtec in 5th, and was happily enjoying her day with the Atom. I couldn't believe how quickly strathaven arrived, although with George to follow i had a good guide, who has definately driven that road 1 or 90 times!
The SAOC will return to Kames I'm sure, especially given the proximity to Georges house, although it wont be June 5th, as I'm away sailing, and to Arran.
Really good to catch up, and despite the wait for the track, awesome to see everyone in such good spirits, enjoying the chat, having a laugh, and we even got some sun - another great SE day out - makes those days inthe office very much worth while
Now whens the next track session..............
