Glad you had a good day and i see you made it home safely, i struggled with the traffic going through the village but still made it to the curry house for 6.00pm.
See you soon

'Ere! Who's taking my name in vain?? 
I'd have loved to have joined you lads (shut up Uwe!) but it's a bit far from here to BH.
When I lived in Kent I remember finding out years ago that the infield at Paddock isn't as flat as it appears! 
In my open-top, no roll-cage, Sunbeam Alpine - scary!
ahhhh, those were the days, no mortgage, no kids, ......

Had a great day at Brands today and the weather held out.
It was marred a bit by the number of slow hire drives on track, but apart from that I got some good laps in and the general standard of driving amongst the faster guys was good.
Also the marshall did a great job leaving people alone to have a few good tussles :)
Anyway, here are a few pic’s of the old girl in action.
And if you ever want to scare an E30 on the early laps, try this ;)
That’s what happens if you carry way too much speed through Surtees. I cut McLaren across the grass and rejoined clearways sideways :oops:
Had few other moments, but nothing a smidge of opposite lock couldn’t cure.
All in all a good day.
Hope everyone else had a good time.
Cheers
Paul

What a great day!
Thanks to everyone who attended, it was great to meet so many people. For anyone who either has never done a trackday, or like me had several years off, I can only say what a great bunch to go with. Everyone was really friendly and helpful.
I'm not the quickest so I found the day quite challenging, but the confidence grew through the day. A big thanks to Matt and Geoff who were a great help as always, even if I'm not as brave as they would like!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys
A great day despite my mechanical gremlins - whatever they turn out to be Hopefully the new disk being fitted to the rear will cure them
Had a terrific time - no rain - no problems - no incidents and an extremely well run track day.
good to meet you all - enjoyed the pax ride John - engine sounds awesome with the CF box
Only nuisance on the day was the Ferrari and Caterhams going round as slow roadblocks!
I looked at my video clips when i got home and i was doing 1 min laps
See you all soon
Martin

Hello Jon,
Watch out for the grey single seater as I believe its looking for a fresh coat of silver paint.
Watch out for Tom`s beach ( Padock Hill ) as well. last time he was out he set up camp there after some brain, sorry brake fade.
Hope you all have a good day out and keep it on the black stuff, and bring all the cars home in one piece.
regards,
Dave

Are the garages 1st come 1st served, or do they need to be booked?
What time is everyone getting there? I plan to get there at 7:15 ish.
