an excellent day out at llandow.
i'm sure someone will be along shortly to put some pics up.
car performed well, the ecu was still learning.
the rain held off for most of the day, until around 4ish, and that's when i went off into the barrier

.
nothing that cant be repaired, it just took the cream off what was a great day.
nice to meet a few more people too.
cant wait to see a few pics and video's, hopefully.

As Glenn says a fantastic day

Weather was a bit iffy, but nothing we aren't used to being British!
It was great to catch up with you mate again mate and see the beast

:D:D
Also great to meet a few new faces
Many thanks to Nick for organising the day and Craig for the much needed camera advice!
I took 399 picures today (lots of yours mate!!!!, so many so infact I was thinking of giving you your own thread

)
Sorry to hear about the off, but glad that it is repairable, god knows if anyone can get it sorted, Glenn can!
Well impressed with the 350i mate

andy335, i've got one or two little niggles to sort out, but that was the whole point of me going today.
andy325, thanks for the comments.
with hindsight i shouldn't of gone back out in the rain, but i was enjoying it too much. i'll take a pic of the damage tomorrow, isn't too bad.
now someone get some vids up, as i've not heard it from outside yet

what a day.
cheers to all those who came down.
i really got to grips with the track today, and depsite the rain got faster an faster with every lap and felt really confident pushing the car really hard.
however i wasnt running 400bhp odd - lol
glenn the cars awesome, glad the damage isnt too bad.
it looked and sounded seriously impressive on track.
craig unfortunately went off at the same spot as u.
again (and luckily) the damage isnt too bad.

Sounds like I missed the fun boys!! I obviously went home too early.
My old bus handled the same wet or dry, lol
Good to meet up and put names to faces.
Glen, Get the beast back on the road, sort the rear suspension, brakes and you'll have an awesome one off car mate, as you said multi-millionaires asking you advice

!!

WOW!! andy, you don't believe in doing things by half
the elise was behind me for about 4 laps, i was leaving him on the straights but he'd catch me in the corners and under braking(as i didn't have much brake pedal so i was having to brake early).
and the black & silver lotus 7 rep was the only thing to pass me
and as for the damage, 'its all the joys of motoring' as my dad kept telling me, when i first learnt to drive.
an excellent day, count me in for the next one!
