Brands Hatch - Open Pit - 25/10/2010 - Follow up thread

Great day guys!

Yes a really great day

met some from the forum

Good day for it, brilliant sessions, saw some very quick cars

although I dont know if the saxo will every be the same again

crowds

Thats good

No unfortunate mishaps or breakdowns?? Probably not the disco didn't go.

Get the pics up

Reechard took some pictures.....


crowds

Best day yet. Awesome track.

No casulaties. The Teg went in to limp mode, an intermittent fault that Alex knows about. Fixed itself when we left. Cut his day slightly short and I didn't get a passenger ride!

Thanks to Woz for taking my car out. Showed me what it can do and towards the end I had a lit more confidence in it's abilities.

Rich has loads of pictures. Probably take him a while to sort them and upload

And good to meet you crowds!

They are all sorted, although need to delete a fair few. I need a bigger lens and to get more practice. Not really taken much for past few months so my focusing is off!

Although here is a teaser for whats to come.....


Think Jen was pleased with her time on track?

LOL, was my reaction. Jenny looked at it for a while and said "Oh Christ"

Looking forward to the pictures, sounded good from speaking to Rich and Dave today

had a great, if slightly frustrating day! couldn't have asked for better weather. bit ironic that the only car to have any real issues was Jap!!!

315 pictures uploading now. I still have another 100 to sort through.

I cant be bothered editing unless people really want specific ones. So will just mass post them on here.

They arent my best, need more practice and possibly a longer lens for the future.

come on rich stop mincing about...

Awesome day guys and gutted to those that missed out, car performed great with no problems so was a great way to go if it sells

Alex - Jap crap...end of

Jenny - Well done for having a go at driving and for not screaming when out in my car!

K - loves going sideways in GiT could tell that by the laughing and screaming!

Dave - You know you loved the Death Oversteer moment when I was driving your car going down paddock hill, Full lock countersteer FTMFW!! Like I said mate the improvement you made from 1st taking me out to right a the end showed you listened and you really don't need to change a thing.

Rich - thanks for keeping me filled up with lockets on the way home, sorry I didn't say alot throat was fucked by that time.

Crowds - Pleasure meeting you mate, glad you and your son had an awesome time mostly your son really as he was hooked!

Hows the voice today Woz? Lol
To everyone who wasnt there he sounded like a dirty hooker, not that I would know what they sound like.

Pictures are at 96% for the first lot. Second lot should be quicker as there are less.

And was very nice to meet Crowds Junior and Senior. Saxo looked good, and I have plenty of pictures. I think I even have some of you trying to get the Ferrari to move.

worse than yesterday, apparently I sounded like a camp puppet

Ah photobucket reversal of images strikes again!

I clearly needed to do more than 120 miles on track.

good pics though rich

Everytime I came back you seemed to go out. Kept bloody missing you!

Rich, some excellent photos...

can't wait for the rest

the sax did 205 miles on track @ 15 mpg with no problems

crowds

Hope the weather is that good at rockingham. If not ill be wishing l did brands lol

how many of those miles did your son do crowds? lol

Again back to front. These have more of Woz I think, and Jen's track time!

Ignore the mass BMW shots, the bloke asked me to take some pictures for his first track day. Might even be getting some cash for it

lol..... yep at least 2/3

crowds

At least he was chasing a Ferrari so it was being put to good use.

that ferrari was such a let down, although it did sound awesome while I was following him for about 4 laps.

the 'rarri passed us on the way out towards the M25. Didn't seem to have any problem putting his foot down at the traffic lights there
