Best ever pax?

Paul Luti, sideways the whole time in his shed of a Rover 800turbo Vitesse with bald tyres. Never laughed so much in ages, and he was still overtaking people.

His sister Claire, in her Metro race car... she is quick and very smooth.

Ian Cowie took me out in a 'half-prepared' XR2 in the wet when i was thinking about taking up racing... Half prepared meant half stripped but no safety devices. A big off/spin ensued at Clarks, where we joined the track from the left again half way down railway straight.

Paxing in my 111r with Walshy round Cadwell was a bit special.

Mcape in his car at North Weald, when we suddenly noticed an F18 infront of us with the parachute out the back was the funniest pax ever though! We couldn't hear it above Mcapes car

Best ever pax... (dont laugh I really mean it)

Ed round Donny in the beast.

May not have been the fastest but for me it will be the most memorable.

Easy whizzing around Knockhill in the very wet with Tut and watching him let go of the steering wheel at high speed when the car started sliding - well impressive and still manage to stay calm and then fly up the next straight.

Apologies to everyone else who has kindly given me pax laps.

In no particular order . . .

Jamie in the Bemani Supercharged Exige (my first ever trackday paxing)

AndyG in the wet in the 111R

Tut in the wet (in N1 TUT)

Ed's red beast at Teesside

George's Atom at KH

I've enjoyed every pax lap I've ever had, but these ones stand out for either amazingly high speed or fantastic sideways action!

Andy G - this evening

I think I will still be shaking in the morning...

I also wonder if my ears will have recovered by then!

Shug at Dukes pass

Still have the LAND ROVER badge burned into my memory as we slid round a blind corner

Johnathan Neale in the Fezza roung KH - what a lump to throw round KH.

Mac on the Dukes pass - still have nightmares about that biker at 45 degrees on our side of the road.

Tut in N1 TUT on a flooded KH - never laughed so much as a passenger!

That is 3 mentions for Jonathan in 4 different cars - Elise, 911, Caterham, and Ferrari - which must make him the SE pax meister

Mark

I'll make it the fourth mention for Jonathon - in the cat when he took the wheel arch clean off the car at the chicane!

Also Malcolm J (greyrig) taking me round Kh in my car and showing me that the ragid edge was no where near where I thought it was.
