I say chaps, just out of curiosity do you recall which model/year the 911tt was? 996/997 etc?

997, really nice chap driving it.

Biggest distrations of the day were being buzzed by a Blackhawk and an Apache helicopter

LOL - yes I spotted that too

I keep hoping I might get a bit of video of me from behind. A nice rx8 chap called said he might have some - which would be great!

Anyone else?

[gruffalo]

I would like some of mine if possible, did anyone get some footage?

Short notice, I know, but due to mechanical problems one of our number has had to drop out of the Cadwell Park Track Day we have booked this Wednesday, 1st October.

Only £99, and I can offer free dinner, bed and breakfast at mine (40 minutes from the track) if you are coming a long distance. I will have two other TVR owners staying, so you won't be short of like minded company.

Scratch that - dealt with by the owner of the spare place.

Think I have some more of you somewhere...

Interested in your VX, what engine does it have in it as it seems much happier to rev high than others I have seen.

[MR2_SC]

It's a 2.2 with a supercharger strapped on.
It's a fairly straight forward mod that takes power from 145bhp to 245bhp and obviously makes a big difference to the way it drives.

Plenty of info over on vx220.org.UK where I also have a build thread..

I should add that whatever I do to the vx it'll never sound like a TVR. It was a delight to stand on pit wall and listen to you guys come past!

...and whatever we do the TVR will never handle like a VX

But some get very very close;-)

But then they don't sound as good as your Griff, the best sounding car of the day!

Cheers Martin. I must blag a ride out in your cerb next time. You went past me one of the straights like I was standing still... it is a proper rocket that thing! Looked pretty flat though the corners as well.
