Well we had great fun on Saturday. There was a fairly good turn out, half of which were Caterhams.

The first couple of routes involved some reversing, including J turns. It was good to get back into the swing of them.

The final route of the day was all forwards, with a couple of sections for some fantastic drifts.

Our target is the mini special. We are chipping away at his times, but not quite there yet!

Was it the Mini Special I got within 1.9s of last year, Dom? Can't remember what Allan Robertson drives/drove.

Allan usually uses the Metro (which is for sale BTW... Group buy?)

Ah yes. Remember now, thanks. He runs it on 10" wheels IIRC?

I'd be up for a group buy on it if pennies free (+ space/logisitcs/etc) - but they're not

A reminder to everyone don't give the keys to your missus and certainly don't let Dominc out in the car with her.

She was getting the hang of it pretty quickly.... possibly too quickly for your liking Paul?
