Great day Mr K. - regards to lovely Kay.

Mr Q (and Ash) were great fun. The V8VS makes an awesome noise and is a phenomenal spec.

Didn't realise how different the DB9 was at handling the corners. On the straight the power was second to none but it did struggle with blind bends at 90 mph, whereas the Vantages ate them up.

Or I'm just a crap driver

And that's why you need new springs and a different geo set-up. Then nothing will touch it

Sounds like a great day out!

We went on something called the Triangle, where Evo used to test all the cars - never heard of it. We didn't actually get to Ponderosa on the Horseshoe Pass until 12.30 as Mr Q. took us on the Bala run first. Quite a lot of cameras came out when were were in towns, especially on the bridge in Llangollen.

Mr K's pics show Quinny in front (those two are very accomplished drivers) with me holding up the rear.

Quinny reckons he drives like an old fart but I always thought that impossible if you have a TVR background.

I was right

Bah humbug, just getting home now. Getting back in the car is ill-advised at the moment

Only 1am on halloween weekend?

Quinny, your car looks like it desperately needs a wash, and clear rear lights

Pretty pictures

Oh no! There is some dirt on your car in the first photo. Best get out the cleaning cloth!!

Looks like it was a good day out

Shame I didn't notice this until late yesterday morning, too late to have made it over

I would've shown that Quinny's car is clean compared to mine

I think Quinny was talking about the Sterling Moss sytle "old fart"
The cars are far more capable than the "old farts", as Quinny said its about the confidence.
These guys get some good feedback on other forums and do training nationwide

Or I'd personally recomend Andy Walsh at Car Limits (I mentioned him to you on Sunday). He is a bit of a travel but gives great tuition and inspires you to learn and use you car ALOT more

JohnG1 - great isn't it! needs more dirty on it before I was it

[Jockman]

Mr K - thanks for the useful hyperlinks.

And the 91 zipped photos.

Kay get's into some positions for them, I must say. Some of them at VERY high speed.

She is a very bendy woman
