I should be up about 12ish maybe just before.

will have camera in my bag, but feel more like chatting and paxing away the day, with a few snaps inbetween (got to many editing jobs to do just now to add much more onto the list)

A big thanks to Mike and Ali for the pax laps (Mike - interesting line towards Mac-in-tyres and Ali was awesomely fast).
Ali, your face was a picture after getting out of the 7.....get one bought! :thumbsup

Awesome day, fours seasons in one afternoon.

Some slower cars which wasn't unexpected given the numbers of KH first timers. Had my biggest trackday moment yet when a Caterham didn't see me about to pass him on the back straIght, after letting the car in front by he retook the racing line rather abruptly leaving me with no option but to take to the grass sideways at a 100+ Having witnessed the lack of rear visibility in Mass's car later on I'll let him off this time.

Have some good footage behind a sideways Andy G which I'll post up later.

Thanks to Jamie for the loan of some tools when my exhaust fell off. Again!

Thanks to Mass for letting out for a play in the SLR, terrifying and awesome in equal measures. Great fun though I struggled with my choice of footwear and the close pedals.

Surprise of the day was driving Andy's mule. Are all S1's like that? Fcuk me it was fcking brilliant, so much lighter and more nimble than the Exige, total hoot to drive. Passing supercharged Exiges in my car always raises a smile, passing supercharged Exiges in a standard S1 shed (no offence to the Mule :mrgreen: ) was fantastic fun. :thumbsup

I did notice that your toe appeared to be hanging off but seeing as it was you I didn't bother asking why :lol:

Thanks to everyone for a great day out, Nice to put a few names to faces.

Managed to get the Clio back to Aberdeen safe and sound. Somehow managed to wear not only my Tyre surface but the side walls as well :shock: (They now Read oyo roxies).

Thanks for the Pax rides from Tut, Mass, Ali and Charlie. Some pretty serious cars and really enjoyed it.

Cheers

was good seeing a few folk, sorry we didn't stay too long, but Kat wasn't feeling well earlier, so just headed back home!

camera stayed in car this time, as i have enough work to edit this week, didn't fancy giving myself un-needed stress.

:shock: Pity I didn't have the bullet cam rigged up, was right behind, certainly looked a bit alarming - good job to hang onto it :thumbsup .

Excellent day.

Didn't have mine on either. Thought as I was taking it easy on the first session it probably wouldn't be worth filming. :lol:
