Hi Dave,
Yes, we were up at Bruntingthorpe on a charity track day. All in aid of cancer relief.

You must of spotted us on our way to the Esso garage then? About 1pm.
I followed the Viper there. Where were you?

A good day out. I'm knackered! 6:30am I left and got back 1/2 hour ago!

hi gaz/simon, it was actually my shift partner that spotted you.he was actually in the garage paying (white van). he said the cars looked and sounded great.of course he then spent the remaining ten minutes on the phone ribbing me about the pile of nuts bolts and wires in my garage. he often sees a yellow ultima in market harborough, any ideas who that might be?

That was some day!! My first ever attempt on a track and it was great fun. Will certainly be up for it next year.
The only car more popular than the Ultimas was that stonking great Viper. 20 or so cars there and according to Amanda, we raised over £2,300! All of which goes to charity.
Most impressed with the handling on my car, the brakes are just amazing.

Joust turned up in his Noble, took one look at the Ultimas and fled. (some excuse about a stuffed turbo )


Seriously though, glad you were able to get it fixed. 10/10 to Noble for coming up with the goods.

Gary

BTW, I can't work out why people laughed when I said: "I'm only a poor plumber and can't afford to wear out the tyres"
Even joust came out with a few choice words on the subject!
