I am a track driving God

[NJW 77]

err, not really

Just thought Id share some photos taken at the Brands yesterday afternoon (and kindly supplied to me by the onsite photographer for a mere £10 each )

Cracking weather and was nice to use the car to some of its potential

And hello to E2DJH

Yeah, but the £150 in petrol to get there from Sussex would stick in the throat a little

Crikey, Nick! You don't look even slightly out of shape!


Sure you weren't posing for the photos?

That was me at full attack (not really ) I was having instruction for 2 of those photos so I guess he had me doing it right rather than spoinning off (which I was close to doing a couple of times )

My 1st time on track in a cerb, I was being a bit of a girl, I admit it. Got considerably faster as the afternoon went on though

How did you find a track that would let you on with THAT exhaust system?

Hi Nick, very impressive getting those pics up so quickly! Almost as impressive as the speed you were showing around Brands, and that exhaust note is delightful
Off to PC World for a scanner cable, then i'll post mine.
Great day out, hopefully see you around. Give me a shout if you are ever over Berkshire way

Blimey, track day and Santa Pod in one week - you were determined to give those Austec boys some more work!

So how did you find the circuit in the Cerb (and I don't mean by using Sat nav)?

Kind words Dave. Just a shame that Noble and that Skyline (oh, and an Evo VII IIRC) spoilt my fun. You weren't too shabby yourself

Alex, it was an experience. I dont think the Indy circuit at Brands best suits the cerb, apart from the main straight, couldnt really get into its stride and most of the corners are (for me at least) quite slow.

I drove to Goodwood the following day to watch Diddyman on a charidee track day. I remember from a couple of track days in my old wedge and Griff, and Diddyman gave me a passenger ride to remind me, that it is much more suited to a cerb, some nice fast corners. Still, Id do it again (when the car gets fixed!). I was pushing my luck doing Brands and Santa Pod within 4 days of each other
