Hi Richard, yep good to meet you too. Look forward to seeing your Ultima at some of our events next year.

Got some footage of you today. If you want it, email me through my profile with your email address and I`ll send it to you as a "wmv" attachment - 4mb though if you`re on dial up!

It was a bit slippery causing a few large cones to be damaged!!, there was quite a bit of loose gravel, most of which is now in the front! there was concern about stone chips but I havn't found any yet (they might be under the dirt!) stil it was a good day out and it is good to find out what the car does, oh and great fun powering through corners with the back stepping out.
From what I have writen it sounds rough but it isn't that bad! just remember it is an airfield and will wear tyres.

Richard.
