Not wishing to sound big headed but I will happily attend this event to offer some driving tips to anyone who may want some without you having to resort to paying some numptie from Palmers who probably cant drive anyway.
Its only up the road from me.
Dont think they will let me on in my pick up
Might be fun tho.........hmm.


Oh would need a passeneger pass for this tho and not sure if still available.

Arron, was that you in the WR1 going sideways around the track at this event last year and giving a few of the big BHP Cossies a run for there money?? If so I wouldn't mind a few tips on how to drive like that .

Steve, how can you sell out of passenger passes when I still have 3 spots spare in my car? Is there a limit to the amount of people that can be in the pit area?

I'm there with Lotus on Track

I have a wagon Stands out a bit from all the Elises and Exiges
I'm one of the few non Lotus owning members. I'm not proud

They're actually a nice bunch and I've done a few track days and a couple of sprints with them.

PS. had to change my exhaust for a Revolution for this one so hope it's quiet enough. The other system was a 3" Magnex b/b with 3" resonated centre. Bit too close @ 85 db drive by.

Hi Floyd,
It'd be nice to see you but it says on the booking site that numbers of people on site are limited so no spectators allowed. So you may have a problem getting in.

Added challenge if there is some ice around, it'll be just like TOP GEAR last week
Besides I was looking forward to checking out all your extra mods, it seems like you have been busy since last year.

Benno, nice meeting you. Sorry I couldn't chat more but I was too busy tweaking the car

I had fun though and it'll be interesting to see how the RS chaps report on the day (and the crashes)...

Floyd took me for ride in his car and I would say he was getting on bloody well

It was another fantastic day for it not a spec of rain all day and the arctic wind kept intake temps down.

Would also be keen to see any pics anyone has. Steve there was a bloke standing on the really tight hairpin taking pics most of the day, do you know who he might be?

Now to get me some of them AP 4 pots

A great day, once I got used to the tack and had some confidence in my brakes.

Thanks for the passenger laps Floyd, but now I want some AP brakes!

I must say, your car is a real sleeper - looks very standard from the outside but goes like stink - esp against those stripped out RS500s.

I noticed one guy with PASSIONFORD.COM on his large camera lens - been seaching the net but have not found anything yet.

There was another crash as I left, two MK2 Escorts had a comming together I think. One had some dents down the side so I can only assume that is what happended.
