And my question above about the 310? You would all make great politicians :roll:

What one next year? Was the 310 there?

TOP Day guys, Thanks to all who organised it!!

I thought it was the best marshalling i've seen on a trackday, the guys were really on it with the blue Flags (I saw a few in the 11 Turbo) :oops:

A really nice mix of cars from Scooby's, Caterham's, Alpine's (Of Course) to a Saab 9000 :shock:

and a smattering of proper race cars which just reinforced the fact that you WERE just mincing round when you saw them lap you for the umpteeth time!

I had a little Whoopsie down the hill through paddock hill bend & ended up on the Grass :oops:

in true Tank Slapping style!!

Good to see "WHEY HEY" Mike Brewher & the Giant there.& the Alpine 310 didn't look to shabby either! French Registered in silver. Ive got a couple of pics, i'll upload them in a bit.

Very much looking forward to seeing this program. Looks like a great day. It was very wet, very windy and generally horrible up North yesterday so you Southern guys were very lucky (as usual) with the weather!

Just to repeat... a fantastic day, weather couldn't have been more perfect. Great day on the track, bit greasy in the morning, but once it dried out later it was awesome. Nice meeting Mike & Ed, plus all the club members, thanks to bigstevet for his handy camera work getting some footage of me going round the track. Thanks also to the club/Mr Dell for organising of course.

Look forward to the next meet, or even the next trackday...?

A diesel Panamera.....surely the most undesirable Porsche ever, (expecting the Cayen needless to say) It even said the word "Diesel" on the top of the door!

AMAZING DAY A FEW BOTTOM TWITCHING MOMENT EARLY ON WITH AVERY DAMP COLD SLIPPERY TRACK.

Othrr than that i had the most amazing day Christine did her usual :lol:

alternator now charging but now the starter motor stopped lol nothing a couple of eager willing pushers could not sort out :oops:

so big thanks to anyone who gave me shov :wink:

apart fom that Christine redeemed herself in every respect surprising me withe her ability following some excellent free instruction from mike wildes an ex F1 and 7 times Lemans entrant i learned so much in 30 mins. Apart feom that Chritine was lapping faster than i could have ever imagined and was awesome through paddock and the esses into Clearways.

A definate must do again anytime next year. amazing value totally well organissd event.

Dave has already promised us a dicount for future club bookings too

Critine just kept.on amd on an on pounding round the track she really did me proud staying with a 911 carrera for about 4 laps matching it in every way not bad for an Atmo on standard road tyres and suspension engine was amazing considering too.

Thanks to all involved i had such an amazing time on track I forgot the Tv crew and Ed China and Mr Brewer were even there :lol:
