that was scary slow

It looked like it had got lost on the way back from Sainsbury's....way out of its depth, but amusing at the same time

I saw a 1.2 standard corsa, a 120d BMW, a 205d pug and finally, an enormous black Lexus, with a set of track slicks

. All incredibly slow(even by my standards).

TBH, I think he was having strange noises from the turbos - so you'll probably have run into him at one of those stages.
Never been on track with him, so can't say how quick/slow he is.

I had a quick blather with him on Sat - just after he'd fallen out of MBlur's Esprit

- his car did seem easier to pass than usual - I remember being slightly taken aback at the effort required to get past on previous occasions

I saw the black Lex in Feb this year. Was my first time at KH. It didn't seem anywhere near as fast as anything else out there, but then maybe my memory's playing up.

The big issue with something the size of that (oo-er missus

) is that even with slicks etc it's still a bloody heavy car and will take some cornering & braking
Just reminded myself why I don't take the Audi on track

Uh-huh.... We'll see how prophetic that statement is in a few weeks, I suppose...
Fingers crossed buddy

Yup - thanks to the help of Robin last night. Just one wee niggly issue to clear up and she'll run like a good-un

Hi Brunty,
Can't do the May or June dates but booked on for the July and August ones - and would be interested in September am if that comes off.
Thanks, Brian J
