Just walked thruough the door.
Top day's blasting about on some fantastic roads. Thankful for the Vectra slowing us down on THAT descent (Drop?, What drop)
Cheers for being the guide, Peccy. Don't apologise for Marx, you were holding him up
It's a wonder his car goes at all with all 30stone of himbehind the wheel
His power/weight ration must be phenomenal!!
Madgrip & Stevechaps, shame you had to go. You missed a fun (?) hour or so. Hope both your cars are okay, and that you enjoyed (most) of the drive down there.
Peccy, I'll be in touch about another session, will try and make one of yer evenings out in the near future.
Nick, Roundabouts on bypass were proper
Haven't been down there since I had the Mundano. Lovely slide round the last one, just before Shafton lights.
Think me motor needs a service now.

Sounds like you all had a good day, sorry I missed it 
Please tell me this isn't as ominous as it sounds. I hope there's no tears.
Hope both your cars are okay

Pics from today's little run out...
Waiting for Steve at the Holmfield Arms...
A quick stop off at Holme Moss...
Looks like Mrs Madgrip has a message for the photographer, Peter Kaye stylee...
Parked up for lunch at the Ladybower Inn...
Clean, for a change (Didn't last long)...
Our kid turned up late (typical) in my old motor (and he managed to keep it on the road!!!)...
The pace cars, together with drivers...

Great pics Sticky, the last one is quite funny
Hopefully, i'll be free for the next run out...

With hindsight I'm beating myself up for being so bl@@dy stupid, the Focus behind was P1$$ing me off so I had slowed down to a crawl to get a big gap to Phil then floored it. Guess the thing is a bit more powerful than when we did the hairpin on the track
, either that or I learned nothing at Rallydrive & still can't drive for toffee (My money's on the latter btw).Anyway, no harm done.
CU at the Karting for the next instalment of the 'Steve Tries to drive something with 4 wheels & a Steering Wheel WITHOUT making an **** of it'
