I'm going to try and get there, but only as a spectator unfortunately, do I need to pre-book, check-in or any other such nonsense? [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] or do I just drive onto the paddock area?
Cheers

Guys, thanks everyone for a brilliant day. Without all of you turning up it wouldn't be the same. Andy, thank you for all your help. Simon, hope you got home ok. John, I hope we will hear from you that you have sorted out your car very soon. Cheers to everyone - look forward to seeing you all again at the next meeting.

cracking day out - good to see Dunc and myself didn't let the side down with our S3's out-handling the RS4's around the place (my coilpack permitting!) [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

commiserations to the other casualties - hope all goes well.

Cheers all.

Hi !

It was really great meeting everyone again.
This track is superb and the overview in the "valley" is simply unique.

Andy, you rock [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
Phil, en francais s'il vous plait [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
Mitchell & Kev, the 600km back home with your Revo software was a pure delight. This looks like a very clever product [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
John, you were right about the traffic jams to Dover [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Many thanks to all the crew for the great welcome and the fun.

Hi,
I thoroughly enjoyed my morning, even though I was only spectating. Well done to everyone concerned for making it such a success. [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
I had to leave late morning, did you get your brakes sorted out Andy? Am I to understand that there were subsequent "incidents" after I left ? [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I hope it was nothing too serious if there was.
Once again, well done guys.
Cheers
Paul

Well done to the RS246 massiv [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Great showing from everyone [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img] S3's went well [img]images/graemlins/clap.gif[/img]

Huge spin for me (considering the car mind) a full 270 degrees through the Fogarty Esses into the gravel trap... is this a first??! Thank heavens for 4wd or would have needed towing out. Brakes, or lack of, causing high entry speed coupled with ESP off meant I got the old bus well out of shape here [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Biggest thanks of all to Mitchell and Kev for services rendered that were way above and beyond the call of duty [img]images/graemlins/jump_clap.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]
