I'm coming.

My father has inveigled his way to coming along. He is a nice old fart who has been a petrol swigger for 50 years.

If he does get chatty, don't believe his lies.

Don't think, but may have to look into it

You'll be too noisy, Glenn. The noise regs are very tight at Thruxton.

Glenn's emission is WAY too manly for Thruxton.

I need to state very publically... PhatGixer was as good as gold all day for which I thank him. (he didn't feature on my radio once)

Respect!

On a serious note, I think the standard of wheelsmanship yesterday was excellent, with mirrors being used and no people getting anal when you appear behind them. Was a great day and what a way to acquaint myself with my new car.

It is the real deal. Proper thing.

That 964 turbo race car had some serious pace! Good value for those who were renting the car for the experience. Grunty little thing...

What a great day! Shame about the foggy start, but perfect weather later on. Started to get into the groove in the afternoon. Silvertsone is a fantastic track.

A great mix of cars. Top marks for the gentleman in the vintage Bentley.

I was in the Blue S2 Elise. Sorry for some strange lines in the morning!

Surely not a good idea to mixing that and driving

I'd just like to add my vote of thanks to all involved. It was my first time out with the Griff at Silverstone and I had a fantastic day (well afternoon). No problems with traffic - although to be honest I wasn't doing that much overtaking! Hopefully I didn't get in the way of too many people - I got plenty of video of serious machinery blasting past - the Group 2 grid included some awesome motors! Next time out I'll be booking an instructor though - plenty of room to get hopelessly lost on the GP circuit.

Cheers

Adrian

The next outing is on April 18th.

Hopefully everyone has seen the thank you from me and Calum but if not... here it is...

Calum and I would like to thank you very much for your patience re yesterday's fog. I think the extra hour the circuit gave us at the end gave everyone a decent run but what really made it was that no one went out there and did anything daft which could have been expected after such a frustrating wait to get going. The only stoppages were for mechanical issues, no gravelly moments and no dings.
Very much appreciated - thank you!
See you soon
