Some of the SAS crew went down to Castle Coombe race track to support the "Under 17 Car Club", we had a great day and some fun ! Taking our cars around the circuit with a young passenger rides... on a carefully marked out course with a speed limit of 60 mph. angel

Looks like fun Nathan. Did you manage to make any of them sick, or are they all like me?

Was a good day out chaps, thanks for coming down and making the day that more special for the youngsters, Colin especially for the length of the queue waiting for a ride in the Noble.....biggrin Just loading my pics now.

Now that was a seriously good day out! biggrin

Thanks for the passenger rides and thanks for letting me have a little play too. smile

As dodgy as this is going to sound, it was lovely to watch the childrens faces light up when they got to go out in some serious machinery but it was even better to watch them stumble out of the car disoriented but still with smiles on their faces! rofl

I shall be there next year if all goes to plan.

Great shots Ben (great alloys too!).

That X6 is a serious weapon, I was very suprised by it all.

Top day out! thumbup

Thanks chaps, the alloys are one of the few designs I actually like other than the originals, they're going to need a refurb and some decent tyres but they were chhheeeeep. Bannana will be back on runs soonevil

And yes that X6 was mental (as was the M3 and the IS-F).
