Yes Gregor and when you've paid her and sent her off in a taxi why not take your car for a drive!

As soon as she left, I got the car out, then the most terrible hangover kicked in, so I have not been anywhere! Still sunny though!

Too bloody right! And you should have been at Snetterton to really capitalize. Enough radiant heat in the sun to warm the black stuff but air temp cool enough to keep chukkin' out gob loads of power and torque all day long. Need new rear tyres and front pads before next Saturday Chillidog and I were sole PH representatives (in Nobles, that is)

Timing strictly verbotten - nullifies all personal and track co. indemnity. Not to be taken lightly.
However I think reasonably quick might be an acceptable description. Snetterton really suits the M400. Two long straights (bit boring, but good for overtaking or leaving everything else behind you in the dust) and fast sweeping bends. At the bottom of Revetts (back straight) we were doing just over 140mph and if you treat Riches (top of Senna stright) as a single apex bend you can get back on the power very shortly after turn in (well before the second apex) and reel in anything that might happen to be in front of you. On flying laps (not warm-up or cool down) the only cars that came into the rear-view mirror were Radicals on slicks.
