Okay mate. Guest list was printed off tonight, but I'm sure I'll remember :)

Goes for everyone actually - pax and party lists are now printed off, so if you're not on the list, just bring cash on the day/night. Saves us having to find an Internet connection to check virgin giving!

Thanks everyone for all the support so far, look forward to seeing you all tomorrow - going to grab some dinner now and leave the interwebs alone until tomorrow :)

I haven't donated either but looks like I will be a no show anyway as latest in a series of seemingly endless illnesses has rendered me pretty much immobile. Blood poisoning in my left leg so have to keep it elevated, and even if I ignore medical advise I really can't walk anyway. Gutted to be missing it but barring a miracle I doubt it's possible. I will make a donation anyway as it's a great cause.
Have a good day everyone.

Sorry to hear that Keith. Take it easy.

I will be in the SLR regardless of the weather as
1) the R262R sin't ready
2) I have new R888!

Great day. Thanks to mmc and the amp guys for organising. Ended up facing the wrong way on my first lap and got a few nice new stone chips when a certain S1 decided to do some offroading in front of me. Got home to a rather sick misses so bathing the kids and no boozing for me.
Hope you all have a good night and all give generously to a very good cause

I haven't stopped smiling since I got home :D That was a great trackday. :thumbsup :thumbsup Thanks Shug and Andy and all the others involved.

Here's a taste of some of my footage from the day - left the rear facing camera setup as a test and using a slightly longer lens.

I'll echo the "great session" comments. Fully dry. No red flags.

Hope the party is fun, but sensible.

Shug and Andy,

Great Track day guys, no red flags, and nice dry tarmac! It was great to see a good mix of cars on track, with the usual high level of etiquette! Shame about the yob in the white GT3, showing off to the camera R8! :)

As to the choice of the "gentleman" track driver of the day............ :lol: Brian would have appreciated it!!

Hope you raised lots of dosh at the Auction/raffle/BBQ in the evening, sorry I couldn't be there.

Cheers

Another thanks to Shug and Andy and for organising a great track day. No red flags, dry track and unusually warm for Knockhill! Oh and a well deserved award for Tut.

Got to work tomorrow so couldn't make the party but hope it goes as well as the first part went.

Enjoyed the video, rear facing camera's a great idea David.

Rounded off the day by taking the scenic route home, back roads from Perth then over the Cairn.
