One of the better early morning jaunts I've had, shame you lot couldn't have joined up earlier, there were some top runs. The C6s were walking over everything, bastards.

Aye, we (Patrick Misano R8 and myself) didn't know what you lot were doing, as we were 'supposed' to pull over for Panda to collect the vidcam, but she/Rich got caught up in the moment/convoy. I dont come on here much, and haven't been keeping up with the Trip thread as I wasn't going.

If I'd have known you were loitering I would have joined you for Brekkers.

Yeah them RS6s are pesky blighters. Big heavy things polluting Ze Verld.

:boots:

As you say, there are worse ways of starting the day... :notworthy:
Your car looked mighty in the tunnel BTW.

Simply stunning day today

It was dry, quiet and no closures

Lap after lap after lap. Had the ring to ourselves

Brilliant!

I had an insane pax with Sonny. That man and his car are insane! He had traction FULLY off, and was throwing it sideways into corners and had the back proper sideways for the spectators at Brunchen

Love it

Love this place

Glad you enjoyed the ride Dave....B7 power ;)

What an amazing trip, managed 19 laps, 6 monday evening and 13 this morning. Weather dried up offering a dry track and clear track with no closures! Fantasico.

Car performed well, no problems. However i may need to put on my spare set of brake discs as my DS2500 pads finally bit the dust.

Managed to burn off a tank and a half of fuel this morning.... Haha
