er, nope...

that's not the car Ianqv thinks it is... which is a red rhd drive car with light tan interior and quite a different plate...

The car seen in Horsham 'belongs' to the son of the previous chairman of LCUK... and it's a left hooker and is black inside...

You could still ask though if you get close, I'm sure... neither the ex-chairman or his son have ever been known to say 'no' to people in those circumstances unless they're really in a rush!

biggrin

Just got back 20 minutes ago. Some epic roads coming south of Edinburgh, and also through Yorkshire. Once I've had my obligatory homecoming cup of tea, I am going to have to spend the next few hours cleaning the car - it's filthy.

As official tea maker I will endorse the wonderful time we had in Scotland. Great company and fun roads.

...and hardly any rain yesterday either!

The sleeping orange didn't want to wake up yesterday either - this 'code' speak is brought to you by XXVIII, cos' we can...

Awoke to bright skys in Scotland today before heading home again with another batch of memories from the Scottish Motorfair with the various howls, roars, screams and fabulous rage of on-track action of all the cars during the weekend at a track where there are no whimpy noise restrictions and no blobby-headed jobsworth's making the main attractions queue for longer than a minute at most... perfect.

I even got to break a driving duck on Saturday but I think I'll be drummed out LCUK if I admit to it. And I'm especially not going to admit that breaking that duck was good as well, no, not ever, well not today and I've no idea what this is a picture of and why I've placed it here...



and this wasn't a sudden revelation of a brilliant to drive moment but it was (and is!) a darned good car

Dave, Lisa & Derick

It was good to meet you guys. Glad you all got back safely.

The SV had to go back to Carlo's but I am sure it will be sorted soon.

david,
i have to ask, not about the driving, the revelation, the propane gas tank, the sheer crapness of that photo, but what are those silver cars in the background doing in the middle of the landscape ?

they're not cars Andrew, they are a new breed of exhaust noise-resistant sheep bred specifically for life on the slopes of Knockhill itself - they are allowed to wander down and charge around the track when there aren't any actual cars there...

As I (keep on) saying there's no noise restrictions there so the faster of the SPEEDSHEEP™ can bleat as loud as they like when charging around the track!! Some of the sideways drifting efforts are a bit woolly though they should get better with practise and make a more impressive race-knitting exhibition by 2010...

ah well, yes, but, actually, I do, really I do... I don't have to say though, that would be telling...


Mass - your gorgeous SV is safe and sound as of yesterday evening, as I'm sure you know!
