Copy pasta from my project, for everyone else to update too with their shit
Hi, here we go.
Didnt get to go against Ian, everything was massively delayed and his session was going when i was coming back from mine, (i was meant to be in it too  )
Car handled splendidly, tyres made shit loads of difference, i thought the rear was going to be quite slidey but it wasnt, nice and stable.
Need more power though, I always say this every time i go out but i do, most stuff im doing in the corners they realise and pull over to let me past but i cant get passed on the straights, was having a crack against a 306 gti 6, and again was wanting to come past in the corners, and to be fair he realised and pulled over but we were always dead level on the straights oh well it will come soon, and the car is perfect now for more power.
Vids, didnt get any, I did try but my camera turned off halfway through and didnt save anything  i was only left with my lap times on my phone, 1.22.89 was my best, no idea if thats shit, good or crap, probably crap.
Did get some pics though and i think there is more to come from dave, car seemed to get a lot of interest on the stand actually which i was quite surprised about, and oddly i think a lot of faster stuff was scared to overtake me up the straights as i think they thought it was faster than it was
Some pics, including ojc trying to get into a pair of his missus trousers as he was wearing shorts and couldnt go on unless he covered up
tell you though todays delays with the sessions has put me off session days, think im going to stick to track days now, going to hopefully get involved with brands hatch at the start of november so loads of proper vids etc then
Thanks to all for putting on another good event

Just got home, had a brilliant day, had completely different brakes coilovers and road legal semi slicks since last time and my god what a difference, car felt awesome and nearly out braked and out cornered everyone
Got first session on my iPhone will put up tomorrow
Second session my dad decided to call me 30secs in and it cancelled the recording gutted aswell as I had a great battle with a track prepped fiesta, was all over him in the corners and braking but just couldn't out drag him on the straights (both gave each other a thumbs up at the end) great fun!
Want to say thanks to Ian and Will and all the staff for putting on a great stand as usual and keeping me fed and was good to see everyone and have the usual banter as I was too hungover to talk much last week at trax lol
Kinda sad that's the last show for the year but hope to see everyone again before the end of the year
And thank to stu for the free oil, cheers matey!
Ps vids up tomorrow

Yeah thanks Ian / Will. That was quality today, had a bacon roll, chicken wrap and a burger, plus plenty of orange juice / water / coke  - made sure I had my £12.50's worth.

I don't know, get a passenger seat in the car for a session, fuck off with out good bye and I don't even get a thank you.
The best bit was at the end of the day which everybody would have missed. I got to give Willay a shower with a hose pipe whilst he washed his hair with head and shoulders. Didn't get to stick the hose up his bum though.

Yep,
My mate had the orange on.
Not confused as such, I was trying to explain to said mate how it was a CS thing and I'd been here since god knows when but I'd never actually chatted face to face with anybody.
Oh and Ian being a fucking Unit in real life was a bit of a shock
