I was there with Gareth but I don't think I met you guys - just the lads with the blue one? The day was a really good laugh though!

Mind if I add photos here? There are loads, I'll try to remember to make them all smaller once I've picked the best ones?

Here's one goodun, just after Gareth finally got past the (middle) Skyline which kept blocking him , which was then overtaken again by the one behind Gareth in the photo:

haha, that was a triumphant moment, outdragging a skyline up the straight!

here's a pic that stony V6 found, from the cossie powered seven [youtube][/youtube]

i got no pics at all, so i'm, reliant on Keri pulling his finger out and posting his ones up!

I got 466 shots - so I thought I better go through them to get the best ones!

No problem - might find a few more. Here are a couple of random ones of the Nissan Fireball!

Great thanks!!...Look's like the STIG is driving the fireball!!

[keri-WMS]

Great thanks!!...Look's like the STIG is driving the fireball!!

I assume the fire under the front is the screamer pipe....or was it "the beginning of the end" of their day?

That's not good!

[gareth]

precise and composed through the corners...

it was good to see a moredoor on bottletops being driven at a consistent 45° to the track everywhere!

I call this one "Brown Trousers at Paddock Hill"!!!

.....my posts seem to be on Auto-Fix!

[gareth]

haha, my sphincter was twitching like a rabbits nose at that point! i 'just' missed my apex!

just tidying up messy use of forum code

Errrr... I do believe your apex has a different postcode to where you car is there..

[keri-WMS]

Bit better! The porker was "loose" all day, nutter...

my only excuse is listening to my passenger too much. he races motorbikes a lot, is VERY fast and knows brands hatch like the back of his hand. he has not however driven it in a car and we found a few differences on the lines / braking points that cars and bikes should take. this was one of them!

my other 'interesting' moment was while braking into druids, downshifting to 2nd (tall diff!) and the gearknob popping off, leaving me in neutral and understeering towards the gravel!
