It was a fantastic day, with clear skies and a rapidly drying track.
It was very quiet on track, with only two cars driving below par.....the white Mark 2 was great and went very well, was it an 8v?
The 106 was nt hanging around either, the white one being driven just as you'd hope on a trackday, quickly and without cutting anyone up.
(Shame the same can't be said for the blue one :evil:
I had a nice little tussle with the Mini, he certainly chucked it through the bends.
The same company are doing a winter warmer deal, the GT circuit at Bedford and Cadwell Park,go to both for £199- How cheap is that?

I did my rear brakes last night, as they had totally had it by the time I left the paddock at 5pm. Fingers crossed I won't have to wait too long for more play time

i am the owner of the little green mini :D lol

if you were wondering why it managed to keep up with you and go past you its because it aint a normal mini

its supercharged running 123bhp :D

i didn't quite have the speed on the straights to ease past ya because i only have a rubbish 4 speed box lol and yes i was chucking it into corners it could have gone faster though lol

And there I was thinking it was a failry even match!
Good fun all the same, makes a pleasnt change not getting absolutely murderded by the BP lot (But then there are some Time Attack boys present at some meets :wink:)
Roll on the next one, not much point tuning my car engine wise, it's done 146K and will only go bang, so I'll have to lose weight (mechanically and physically :grin:)
