I think John's nerves were shot to pieces after being thrown round the track by Gordon Sheddon (Pro driver working @ Knockhill) in the aforementioned STi 8

That will teach you to tell Gordon that he's a slow driver John!!!

 

lordy is still in recovery position after mentioning that the STI8 didnt seem faster than the Green wagon .


then Gordon showed me why i MUST sell all my wordly goods to buy STI8 and Forester after the off-road section

What a fantastic day

Thanks go to Ian Armstrong from Stan Palmers for letting me come to the Prodrive demo day at Knockhill
(my first trip onto a track but i will return)

Thanks also goes to Rusty for washing the Breakfast dishes !!!!!
at 540AM !!!

from the Lady of the House

you are wellcome to sample the full harding hospitality (videos/mags) again but next time fetch Mrs Rusty as you said she likes gardening and can do it when we empty the Wine cellar

 

Mike,
Did you get my e-mail re geodesy?

 

Biggest thanks of the day of course go to John for letting me stay over last night to save me having to drive to Carlisle at stupid o'clock and for givng me a lift from Carlisle to Knockhil

The Foresters on the off-road course:



John driving the Forrester:



Second place winner in the biggest grin wearer of the day (naturally, I won that too ) :



And a more than well deserved free plug for Ian Armstrong of Stan Palmer & Sons (Carlisle):



Cheers, Jon

Rusty

Glad you enjoyed the day mate...I was at work.. A little confused as to the prize you won...Donuts ?? Falling off the track ?? sideways driving ?? pray tell

I *want* that Stickered up car !!!

Midlife.....

 

Yip brill day had by all, cheers Ian @ Stan Palmers and all at Subaru, great experience getting to drive on the track.

Highlite of the day was deffinatly going roung corners almost backwards!!! with race driver Gordon Sheddon at the wheel, much respect to the guy cause he can really drive!!!!

 

Did you get the brakes smoking? When I went on the STi7 day, we did 4 laps and had smoke billowing from the front Brembos! Certain Subaru people were looking a little ruffled!

 

sounds a great day. lucky gits

will have to buy my next scoob from Stan palmers so i can get on the next one


steve
my01 wrx ppp and some .. role on next year

 

Stephen, you don't have to have bought a car from Palmer's. I haven't. You have to pay for it.

 

Mark

Not sure how much people paid, these were last minute places because "business" people had pulled out.

Ian 'phoned around to try and fill places at a few minutes notice.. I couldn't go because if I took a days leave (at short notice) in my job for this sort of thing I'd be in line for a serious bollocking.....

Midlife...
