Thanks Barry for posting the footage of that lap.
I know L.I. Am would have been a lot quicker without all that extra 100 kilos of Glenrobbo ballast. wink

Thanks for the ride Mr. Plow sir, most enjoyable.
I loved every minute, despite the unexpected racing passenger change and still fastening my helmet as we were rounding La Source on the opening lap.
And at the end, finding I had been sat on my glasses all of the time coolyikesbiggrin

I'm happy to confirm that during my ride in your ( rather fast ) golf buggy, I suffered no GTS leakages thanks to my wonderful Billy Connolly Incontinence Pants with the super seal ankle fastenings wink

Just wanted to say a great event, just a shame my clutch release bearing let go after the first day at Spa frown managed to limp hone and booked in to fix.

It was great meeting you all and the Dutch guys. Did anyone happen to get any pictures of my Saturday lap at all?

Thanks

Did you get any pics/footage of Ben & me trundling past up Raidillon at a sedate GTS pace? driving
It's very steep, so Percy would only have been doing about 45.

I explained to Ben before we set off that I never exceed 60. wink

I got a nice tranquil snap of Eau Rouge on Sunday afternoon:


I don't understand why motor sport fans make such a fuss about it. wink

ETA: Perhaps it'should because of the amazing gravity-defying water?

We got a mention from Carmine Appice from Cactus who played Verviers on Friday night
and stayed at the hotel. He was amazed by the contents of the car park.

Well Gary, your M-Type is rather lovely. cloud9

I think Carmine Appice should get a Cactus. That would be fitting. The salesman could tell hime it's a Cayenne. He would never know the difference.

As for the Facebook comments about TVRs always breaking down:
Once again we got all our S & M's back home.

lol, yep gentle input to bring it back and kept my foot in, but at about 100mph I did see the barrier and my past flash before my eyes. Great run round and your's sounded luurvly, hope to meet you again on another event smile You are right the cam doesn't show how close and how quick it was.
