Apart from the Armco , make sure you fill up before your get there. You'll go through juice like you never believed If you're coming back Monday its a holiday here so the roads will be very busy, leave enough time.

think it's still a vtec in it, went past us like we were standing still.

It makes so much difference if you know the ring well

There will be a number of us there. Look out for my Grey M5 (W-reg) and a black R33 GTR running approx. 700 brake.

Cheers

Oh and look out for a slow, black 1.4 16V Skoda

I'll be going round in my usual Driving Miss Daisy fashion, give me a wave as you pass me

Gimme a shout and I'll come out with you or vice versa.

Hm, think it may be time to get a new car, it's getting too well known.

On the other hand, I can't think what else I could get that would take the beating it gets, 84,000 miles in 18 months, nearly 360 laps of the Ring and about 20 other track days. As this is Other Marques, any suggestions??
