Took the VXR8 6.2 around Brands and...

I absolutely love it...

I hadn't even looked at these cars before.

There it was, sat in pitlane...

Walked up, got inside, and my first reaction was... hmm this isn't half bad you know.

Clutch feels nice, got a bit of weight to it, gearbox nice and positive.

Start to pull away, hear that V8 burble... getting better...

Come out of the pitlane, first right hander, past paddock. Foot down coming out of the corner.....

Ahem, brown trouser moment.

Also... overtaking an Astra VXR from 3,500 rpm in 4th is amusing (not for him!)!!!

Tell me more ...

Looking at your link you live/work in the same road as the notorious 'Flappers' nightclub use to be - on the corner opposite the Co-op/Teville Gate. Now sadly demolished.

Spent many a thursday/friday/saturday night in there between 7 and 9 (happy hour, pound a pint), sometimes later.

Guess if you are new to the area you won't have a clue what I'm talking about !!

Of course! That's the grab a granny establishment, for which I do not usually partake in activities there ....
