What a great day, thanks JR [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]

However i have some really bad news, the last outing where i was in hot pursuit Rosco P Co & Flash (dukes of hazzard style) where we both hit the grass cos we were giving it totally large . . .

well the tape finished after the first lap, ran out, sorry but didnt get all those bits on tape [img]images/graemlins/cry.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

Apart from that what a great day

I really enjoyed it, Joshie thanks for the ride and I hope all who came out with me enjoyed it as much as I did [img]images/graemlins/jump_clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/jump_clap.gif[/img]

Excellent day!!!!! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Thanks to John for organising, to Bushy for a spin in his RS4 (which really is quite an experience) and Thorney for a spin in his VX turbo which was awesome.

Big thanks to whoever arranged getting the instuctor there, his help was invaluable for someone like me (a trackday newby)

Nice to see everyone there and meet some new people. I've got the bug now, can't wait for the next one!

11mpg overall [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

you must have had to refuel then? I only had 1/4 of a tank left at the end [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Managed 110 miles on the track, brilliant value considering what we paid for the day [img]images/graemlins/bigwave.gif[/img]

So where are we going next?... [img]images/graemlins/colours.gif[/img]

Yeah gods.....you can buy a small car for that [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

And if we where allowed to time during a track day I'm sure that John would be doing 1.25s ...... [img]images/graemlins/elefant.gif[/img]

Another great day out, well done everyone for making the effort, and thanks once again JR for organising it and everyone, acting as a bank, getting the info out to people etc etc etc.

My first time at CC. Good circuit. Need better brakes, bigger balls and deffo more power grrrrrrrrr [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Will try and post some pictures this evening, otherwise they will be in my gallery.

My costs for the day were.....surprising, but WTF?! [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Really good to meet everyone.
