Did any one go? It was busy - someone must have been there haha

First one of the year at Brands iirc? was a good laugh but a little slippy! Had a few sideways moments but i guess thats to be expected once it dried up a bit i was flying round smile

Did any one notice the new pit lane?

might pop back on that monday date if anyones going that way?

Yeah I was there! Came just for the afternoon so sadly missed the slippy track but had great fun despite trying not to ruin my the tyres and brakes on my e46 m3!
Great to meet Cem again - sorry I didn't stop for a proper chat but saw your mx5 going very quickly! Anything changed since last time?

Also had a fantastic ride in the 700 bhp skyline, insane! Still pulling at 8.5k revs!!!

really enjoyed trying to chase simon in his e46 m3 - best sport I've had in ages!! (Simon if you read this the vid is on my YouTube channel 'samellio' )

What car were you in?

Cheers,
Sam

Hi Guys,

Yup I was out in Britney.

Really enjoyed the day- the wet morning, the dry line (wet off line) midday and bone dry afternoon made the day excellent.

I fitted my coilovers since last time out, so I've got less roll. The R888's were mega all day - even in the wet, they were fun.

Next up a Geo-set up, and probs some suspension work.

Also a full service is due, its been 5 months with the Super Blue brake fluid and noticed some fade towards the end of the day.

I will be out some time in Feb/March.

Anyone doing Spa in April?

ALSO: Sam noticed some fun slides whilst following you and the red M3 :-)

Was there in the panda, mostly trying to stay out of the way! Was ok in the morning (very entertaining), but once it was dry there was some pretty large speed differences.

Yeah I'll definitely turn up for a watch and may go on for a bit if I get the Datsun back or if it rains I'll take the e46smile

Hope to see you there - I'll turn up after lunchsmile

Not sure it's ever been called "epic" before.. With a lack of power and very worn street tyres I was just trying not to be mobile chicane!

Hey Dan. I popped over to watch and the Panda was great to see. Didn't see anyone harassing you or getting frustrated so you must have done alright. That Datsun sounded awesome blasting out of pitlane.

Was there sharing the drive with my friend in his Peugeot.

Were some very interesting cars out there!

Sam are you the guy that used to go in the Skyline with Sam on the numberplate?

Yeah that's mesmile

We're you in the 306 with slicks? - goes really well - bet it surprises a lot of people!

Sadly I broke the gearbox on the skyline last time and it's still not fixed frown

Was still great fun in the e46, kind of more fun as it's so much slower and more cars the same speed.. Still missing the Datsun thoughfrown

I've been impressed by Dan and the Panda before. My "e" word was "excellent".
