yeah, the black liz drifted quite a few times at the haripin.
They were joined at the hip! Always went out together.

Quite liked the T-Bar hard top roof on them both.

Do you know who it was - didnt get a chance to speak to them.

those two keep themselves to themselves at KH, never really participating in our S_E banter. Both have the gullwing roof conversions, and by my reckoning, they've been well fettered under the bonnet too

Agreed, I don't think I've ever seen them let anyone past and because they go round as a pair it's a pain in the arse. Also, I was told the cars are only ever used at KH so I don't understand why they have the gullwing roofs.

mono pod no. I was there for a bit with my wife and son in a push chair. had long white lens, hat glasses.

I've got a few but they are not very good. I'll post a selection up later.

there just standard Greg, and i can imagine that there a pain in the arse if you dont have the power to outdrag them up the straight

In reality it looks a bit sh*t and I can't really see the point in it.

I didn't have time to look-in at the track today, I did see Brian J's Exige and a nice black Ultima going in though. Anyway probably the wrong forum but here's a few pics of what I was doing at Knockhill today

(sorry about the quality 1st time my mate had used a digital camera.

As can be seen, I was there "practising"

Matching blue Exige also out today may be for sale if anyone's interested. Confirm pair of Elises do not socialise - never undertsood why they lap in close formation - can they really be on identical pace?

Elise "AWL" - nearly had pile up at McIntyres when it spun in front of me and 2 Porsches - had to take to gravel.

Of other pics, think Cayman out for first time, taking it gently. Black Porsche Turbo "GSU" very fast. TVR Tuscan broke down - at least 3 red flags for breakdowns and another for lunatic EVO.

ro55 - you should have said "hello".

See lots of you at SIDC!

ro55, was good to meet you briefly today, car looks

Big thanks to Brian for taking me out in the Exige, very tidy driving

The level of grip from the A048s is incredible, and the brakes seem a lot better than on the VX.

I took a few pictures, but mostly static ones, the chilly wind made it hard to hold the camera still enough

Cheers Jamie - good to meet you too mate.

I was hanging around the pit wall for a few minutes but you looked far too serious!

You must have been in the zone at that point

Brian J wrote:...lunatic EVO...

I guess you mean the white one that kept 'showing off' at the hairpin?

I got a 'cracking' view of the M3 that had a hairy moment and killed that orange kone and in turn destroyed his number plate!

I'll hopefully make the SIDC day next week - lets hope it stays dry!

p.s. just showed the GF your car Brian and now she wants one!
