Heh heh. I did the first one that Neil organised and it was a mega day out. Don't you just have bucket loads more respect for McRae, Burns etc to think that they go faster than that, with an even greater level of concentration, for several days at a time!

But Josh, if you were driving, does that mean no fabulous piccies of the hairpin?

Cheers guys.

Big thanks as usual to BGRS and Pat our instructor for the day.

Glad you all enjoyed it.

Funny how all the spectators turned up to see Josh go.

Unfortunatley I now have to eat my words regarding Josh's driving

Michelle - Nice one Girl - You deserved it.

How are you feeling today ?.

It was nice driving back without Little Miss WRX glued to my rear bumper

Well it looks like I'll be organising another day soon as I now have 6 people who wann do it.

Simon Reeves - Please send me an E Mail to Neil@SIDC.co.uk

Very good of you to say so Neil (I bet that hurt )

The following pix are revolutionary, in that they feature MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

The first is by Diggy, the second by Ian Cook.





Think I'd better look for alternative employment.

Josh - It did mate

However I must point out that for most drivers the car was nice and level, yet those pictures it would appear to have taken a substantial bias toward the off side.

'Chelle - Glad your OK - you were looking well wasted when I left.

BTW Do you want your front reg plate back as the glue seems to have stuck it quite well to my bumper and it may take some time to remove.

BOB.T - Drop me an E Mail and i'll send on the details.

Hi 'chelle - I was just being a concerned organiser type person.

You did look wasted eating lunch but beaming as you came back in to the strap-in area after your final drive.

I don't know how you youngsters keep it up

Are you up for Sweet Lamb then as I have added you to the list ( I have added all attendees as possibles ).

Anway back to work now TTFN
I have also got another 6-8 possible attendees for another 'Experience' so looks like I'll be going again soon.
