That's even brought me out of retirement to post something along the lines of, "I presume you mean driving on the same lap as Ross in the R400...!"

What a bunch of mincers!
We were lapping together for about 5/6 laps...in the rain....then I spun off after the chicane....

And for the record, how about we talk about the auto testing day at the AECC...
First time in a 7...Ross's 7...and I beat him.
Driving a 7 for the first time got me smitten for them!

G, great excuse for me to wheel out my old excuse (again

) about me being used to sticky 205s running 16psi, and doing the 'test on bakelite 185s at 60psi

I don't do willy waving, might have someone's eye oot

Just spent over an hour combing through the Caterham pricelist and spec sheet. Dangerous, very very dangerous.

I was having a bad day at work and working too many hours so decided to leave a couple hours early and head to knockhill. Aberdeen was sunny but by the time i got to KH it was raining pretty hard.

The cars awesome

A wee wave to the Camera man (dodgy hand on the steering wheel).

Nice pic Alan and glad you had fun.
And hey, the VHPD didn't blow up!

Hope you ditched the pax as the extra weight makes a huge difference.
Always felt weird going from just me to me and pax. Couple of laps to get used to it.

Were you chasing rabbits?? I mean with those size of rabbit-catchers, oh I mean lights the whole of KH must have been lit up

Glad you had a good 1st track event

Indeed.

Much more tail-happy sans pax

For the record I'm loving the VHPD, never missed a beat last night. Your right about the pax, totally changes the car. Have to say, its one the easiest cars I've driven. As long as you brake hard, late and right upto your turn in point its perfect. Dare I say it, un spinable...n

Really?

I can spin one too (in the wet only of course

)
Car will be approx 15% lighter and also sits more to the drivers side with no passenger,bound to be a huge performance differnce
