Just got back, wonderful day... and perfect weather. Nice to see so many cars and meet so many owners.

Can I say as an aside. 'Goodlife' sorry to hear about your wheels, and sorry to add insult to injury by trying to steal your 'ashtray',sorry !
Great to meet you though.

Sam

Also I would like to thank Kerridges for giving me a chance to drive their 'demo' on track... since mine is not quite here yet. It was quite an eye opener, when I wasn't getting in mr Bennet's Way!

Hi Sam,

When is your 3R due? If I'd known that Kerridges demonstrator would be going I would certainly have made the effort to get along myself - sounds like you had a great time. Hopefully their car is still in one piece - I've been promised it for a few hours next week!

Regards,
Marlon.

Was due to be there but had to miss it - sounds like a great day and am looking forward to the photographic evidence!

Would be interested to hear the various comments and tid-bits of info. received from the factory lads and their chief tea-boy?!

Excellent day (just got back). I'll stick up a full report in the next day or so, including my impressions of the Tea Boy's special brew

Could anyone that was there on the day that had a video camera send me an email with a postal address for you. I'll send you a prepaid jiffy bag to send the tape to me - I'd really like to get together a DVD of the day for everyone that was there.

Joust - great job on the Ab Fab video.

Do you think this trackday will become a regular event ?

Factory was encouraged by the final turnout, so yes, they said they would be doing more next year.

Hi Marlon,

Yes the car is still in one piece! It ran smoth and was a wonderful, and extremely fast track companion.
In answer to your question, Kerridges have been admant that the car R87 will arrive in November, most probably mid. I am not sure how likely this is,having listened to some of the feedback but I like being optimistic!
