SpeedFest '15
Re: SpeedFest '15
Have to add to the above.
Had a great day. Clutch and brakes survived the early bird runs but had to withdraw from the drag races as car was just too hot.
Must get Clark to give me the low down on getting the car sideways and then keeping it there...
Seems to have been a pretty busy event with plenty punters, hopefully spending their hard earned on all things car related. All in the paddock seemed to be having a good time....
Only bummer was the fact I lost a wheel centre, which a marshall found and John Stewart returned to me, only for me to lose it again on the Tillyfourie turns catching up with the blue jag from the event.. Ho Hum..
roll on 2016.

I've got some wheel centres surplus to my requirements if you can wait until a Knockhill trip and I'll pop up with it/them

Re: SpeedFest '15
Would also like to reiterate what has been said above! Cracking day out thanks to Tony and his team, wether held off and And a thoroughly enjoyable day out! My missus even enjoyed it so you must have done something right! The evora sounded phenomenal as always!
Cracking car control by Clark and was good seeing N3 getting a workout! A few of my friends commented that they wouldn't like your tyre bill :lol
Enjoyed my wee stint in track, think I need to get me some more of that!

Re: SpeedFest '15
Clark asked me to get his boots out of his car and a couple stopped me to ask if I was Clark Sutherland. I said no, they then asked if tut had died, I also said no but that I'd say hello for you!C7Steve wrote:

Re: SpeedFest '15
Excellent! Thanks, I've now seen myself on track at last. I am not on Facebook which probably doesn't help find stuff and I have spent a week looking for others photos as I was let down by all the LEGS contingent who were all watching and not photographing dammit. All that effort and nothing to show for it. If you had any others of me I'd love to see them.

Apart from that it was a great day out and I spent quite a lot of time with Brandon and Gary and I know that he had a lot of interest shown. I showed 2 different punters round my car for him as he had a last minute change in plans/staff and couldn't bring an Evora.
Annoyingly having retained centre caps through the event lost one in a pothole I think on the way home as it was on the car at 20:00 when still parked outside son's fat in Aberdeen but not on arrival in Dunblane.

I will have a few more as I only publish a selection of each car. I'll dig them out tomorrow and post them up to a proofs album on my website since you don't have an FB accountAl. wrote:Excellent!

Paul Marshall, a good friend of John Stewart and myself. First met him on the Scooby Tour d'Ecosse 1999 which John used to organise each year. He had a P1 which he certainly could handle but was wiped out by a Motorhome when he was turning right on his motorbike to Newburgh.smee wrote:Clark asked me to get his boots out of his car and a couple stopped me to ask if I was Clark Sutherland.

I was honoured to be a Pallbearer at his funeral which several of our members on here attended.

That is great thanks.
Just been to the website and had a look so can see the Proofs sections although as far as I can tell nothing there yet. Can you maybe do a PM once uploaded as I'm offshore Canaries at the moment and have limited access to Web. Thanks.
Looking closely at the published photo today I was actually without wheel centre then, so evidently am going stupid or blind later in the evening at sons flat! Auld timers already
