Well I'm back on my sofa now relaxing after a long day.
Great breakfast at The Crown Inn, thanks Mike for sorting that, best 6 quid I've spent in a long while.
At the track, nice to meet everyone again. We had a good turnout and were attracting a lot of people over to gawp and admire. Kudos to Sandy for driving Amar down for the day and joining in.
I relented to my inner demon and took to the track. I took it gentle in my first session but still left the track with nicely warmed brakes and tyres. I gave it a better go 2nd time out, ESP off, just letting the 4wd do its thing, I was a lot quicker and apart from some muppet in an S3 giving me a big scare (he tried and failed miserably to overtake me on the brakes and go up the inside into Quarry bend, strictly against the rules.......) WOW!! what fun, my brakes were top thankfully (EBC, I forgive you the noise for a consistent pedal) and my tyres hung on gamely thought they did get a bit heated and squidgy. I called it quits after that, not wishing to push my luck, or break the car.
Just got to make my car louder, everyone said they couldn't hear a thing out of it. What's the point of having a V8 if you can't share the noise????
