Tucked up in the Breckland. Took over 4-hours, yes 4-hours, to get from Brockley to the hotel.

Drove down did loads of laps and drove back again. Down to less than 1 mm now.
I've checked Parcelforce's website with my tracking number and my tyres have gone to Ipswich, good job!!

Apart from that, the weather was fantastic and the six of us all had a great time.

Well, the 5.5 didn't miss a beat although some people were gased in clouds of in burnt fuel while shooting out flames from the rear.

A really great day to be repeated in the not too distant future.

Awesome day. Left Mat Smith's around 7:30 and home at 9:30.

Tyres were great a distinct improvement over 'regular' road tyres.

As for the sighting laps .... getmecoat

Booked in to Bedford on the 19th next month. Not sure I can fit in anymore this year.

Prize for most improved goes to Stuart in his S.

His car shod with the Chinese NanKang tyres performed brilliantly considering its age and lack of cc compare to other cars.

Well done that man.

I should have taking a picture of V8 Nuts car. As this has had a huge amount of modifications, lights, splitter, diffuser and other stuff.

I took a couple of videos with my GoPro and if I can work out how to load these that I will. My usual film editor is resting in Bali at the moment, lazy bugger. Hello
