I've driven it that way too - was great - just a pity it was so wet.

Really need to try and talk Sasha into running another RD day.

it ended up a bit chilly in the end - almost feel sorry for the catering van guys! :lol:

I took loads of pictures on my mates new cannon D-SLR.
Was getting a bit trigger happy using the quick fire shutter. :lol:

Once he downloads the 400 or so photos, i'll post them! :D

Night was ended by pulling out of KH with the sight of TUT loading his car onto a low loader bound for ABZ :cry:

Another awesome night, and thanks to the Alfa boys for being so welcoming. Will definately be back if they have another.

Loving the S1, a couple of spins (trying to chase Rossybee through Duffus :roll: :oops: ) but loving the fact that for 90% of the lap it was absolutely flat out.

Awesome!

Good SE turnout too :wink: And NR lost his tracknight cherry! And had his first spin - a good sign of effort :thumbsup

Good night, enjoyed trying to kill of my 48's but alas there is still some left, not much though. :lol: :lol: Had a good few laps with DaveB. I think you may have been slightly quicker in the twisties. :cry:

Brilliant night indeed! 8)

Was effin freezing when I left home, but was nice & warm @ KH - must be a first! :shock:

The conditions were lovely, I felt I could take liberties on some of my (personally) more scary bends like Duffus (Hi Andy :wavey :P ) and the car just looked after me :wink:

As has been said, thanks to the Alfa guys - friendly bunch, plus the standard of driving was excellent :wink:

Had what felt like the track to myself at times, was a perfect time for newbies (Stewart McN & NR 8) )

Had a drool at some of the Alfas there (not forgetting the luscious Integrale :love ), and a laugh at some of the smoky/leaky others :lol:

Snot did me proud, only one spin - hairpin, where else? :roll:


One of the organisers took some of us non-Alfa types' details, so we'll be kept informed of any future events, really worthwhile :thumbsup

Ah bo**ocks... forgot to give him my details in the end :roll:

Was indeed a good evening, good bunch the AROC guys, and the track seemed to have soooo much grip :) Thanks for organising us non-Alfa folk, Ross. Keen to do their next one now.

I was there as part of the Alfa club with my silver GTV 3.0l V6, it was a really good night.
Thanks to the guys who gave me passenger laps, blue S1 Elise with extra sticky tape and red Caterham superlight with lost ear plug ( sorry in all the excitement I forgot your names) the Elise was great and so was the Caterham . My daughter has been pestering me to buy an Elise, my wife wants me to stick with the GTV and I've always fancied a Caterham so I am now even more indecisive over what to do.
