Red Faces!
 
Before you here it from anyone else. Yes, I ran out of fuel on the Spa Francochamps circuit. :o

Proves that you were really trying... or just getting forgetful.

Hope it didn't spoil your enjoyment too much.

Last but one lap of the last session. So there was some comedy value! :)

I felt really bad for Mike ending up by the side of the track mid-flow so as a sympathy gesture when I got back to the pits I ran myself over with my own car :ROFL:

It was an eventful day, we had a lot of fun, and other than some bruises (some psychological, some real and remarkably purple), no permanent damage was done :D

Huh? With a manual car??

Copying the chap from East 17?

Turns out a 2.2hp starter motor is plenty to start a hot 4.2 V8 in 1st gear. Not being in the car at the time proved unwise.

Hoping you're not too badly hurt. Must have been scary at the time !

That's a very inconsiderate car, considering all the love and attention you give it.

Perhaps despite its alarm, it knows better than to not start when commanded by the hand that so kindly fettles.
It was between a rock and a hard place. I feel sorry for it :ROFL:

Hopefully your OK Michaela, and your S8. And you've patched things up between you.
