Cheers to all involved. Was a great trip.

Cant wait for the next one!

For those who left early today, you have MISSED a great afternoon session.

Quite a few crashes unfortunately, but all are repairable, but it goes to show how unforgiving a track like oulton park can be, especially in the wet.

No SE bodycount I hope?

[campbell]

I had my luckiest escape ever too when I decided to overtake at the same time as the car in front had decided to pull back onto the line

1. Your luckiest escape ever was on Stelvio2001 between Zamoa and Ribadeo and don't your forget it!

2. This may indicate you have found the limits! Be careful, Jedi.

Had no intention of leaving early but given that my car didn't pass the very strict noise test and none of the marshalls could find my bung that fell out on track, (don't think they looked that hard tbh), I had no option but to go home as they wouldn't let me on. Shame since the 10 track minutes I did get were really good fun and Walshy gave me a good couple of pointers to work on too. Think he enjoyed the drifting at the first corner.

Bit of a waste of time/money for 10 minutes so pretty p!ssed off all in. No point hanging about and boring everyone with my moans.

Can only echo what Ross and JJ have said it was an epic trip with so many laughs on the way - will try and do a proper write up with a few pics when I can be assed - glad ive got the next 2 days off work to let my liver recover

Did you find your wee bird Benny?

Mate, what a pain in the......

What where the noise limits and what where yours, take it you passed with the bung in?

[Jacobite]

Cheers Guys had a great time thanks for all the pax laps too

Back home in the Bourgh 2250 miles since I left and acording to my darling daughter smelling of car thankfully my sons not so fussy and I got a welcome home hug off of him

[ed]

Bad luck D, you must be feeling about as gutted as i was when the caterham broke down 1st lap at Donny!

Glad you boys had a great trip. Very jealous!

[Pesky]

Hi

Great to see so many of you guys @ Oulton - your enthusiasm for driving/enjoying yourselves is infectious - thanks for that, as it is appreciated

Noise limit was 105db (static) - sadly, that's not unreasonable in this day & age.

Hope the long distance travellers got/have a good, safe drive home
too. Fook knows, how Modena, Andy & Scotty manage in their lightweight motas

[Modena Scotland]

It was good to meet you Mr Pesky. Nice car! Very cold trip back to Scotland......

Still Game Mini Tour returned safely to Crieff.......
Many toilet stops
Lots of Red Wine

Many Laughs

A strange but enjoyable day at Oulton ..........Day over at 1130 according to tannoy. No power meant cafeteria was serving tepid food in the dark
Ali thought my two lamb pies in gravy looked like a double mastectomy with man gravy
The Gayers left early........
Top Marks to WankR for lobbying the Staff at Oulton to reopen the track after the snow stopped.

A very quiet track afforded plenty time to learn your car control limits on a treacherous track.
P Zeros still not showing any signs of wear after 70 laps of 4 wheel drifting

Stopped for chips in Lockerbie
Two Haggis
One Smoked sausage
One Fish
Two portions chipa
Mushy Peas
Two pickled onions
Two large cans of that stuff that's made from bulls pish and keeps you alert........I spent most of the M74 scouting the fields looking for Friesians

Wonder if Mass,Scotty and Andy made it back without frostbite

Funniest thing I have read in ages......and its Bulls spunk that its made from......

Noops and Meatball still running in BST??

Home safely at 8.30 after an uneventful journey home. Came off the M74 at Abington, to give the car a shake down over the back roads, only to see Ali C heading the opposite direction (southbound) at speed Suspect he was either having another turtle problem or just seeing if if he could beat his tank filling record by making sure it was really empty

Loved Folembray and Snetterton. Abbeville was too technical and small for my liking. My good friend Pete Santos was driving my car at Oulton and he felt that the circuit was dangerous and could do with some alteration at the exit of druids ( a few others agreed).

Thanks to Scotty (Lotus sales rep) the big lesson for me is I need a 211; it will make me a better driver and I'll never get caught by a french speed trap

Will post more tomorrow (and pics) if I get a chance...
