It seems from various sources that the reason the parade lap was abandoned was due to the fact that the Warwick test track closes at 4.30 p.m and due to H&S , they couldnt do it. I never thought it would work anyway as that amount of scoobs, the rain and the narrow track meant it would have been a miracle to get everyone around. A shame really.

Never saw you micky, I was in the O

Best bit was one of the guys on the front row, who was parked next to my girlfriend's car, had to leave early and so the gap had to be filled.
And this little beauty came along to fill the gap

i do believe jolly green monster was behind me trying to get out at the end, as i recognised the taz plate and the minty green goodness, but i never got out, as i was to busy calling people ****s, for getting out of the cars to take photos instead of driving out

also some chap from SN said hello and commented on the bodywork, but i have no idea who he is, he had a blue type-r

We had a brilliant day out, traffic was sticky at times but only to be expected.. Once in a lifetime event so no complaints.. We got in (back to Blazinsmoke Hants) about 10 ish I suppose which wasn't bad considering it was S***ty out.. Ladies loo's were cool though at Warwick, hand cream and everything
