Following a fantastic trackday on the 4 mile long Bedford Autodrome GT circuit yesterday I went out for my final session along with an Elise driving passenger(evidently this was my big mistake).

The result was somewhat of a surprise to say the least. I'm not sure whether this makes be a good or bad driver but what I do know is I don't want a repeat in Folembray

Enjoy

Ewwww, gross! Was that the Chocolate Flapjack?

Hasten to add it's not me in the pic! News of that incident spread round the pitlane faster than a spinning S2.

LOL. Took my sister around Castle Combe. Bless her...she was asking if she could use an open-face helmet in case she puked!

Thankfully it didn't happen...oohh.

I hope the lining is removable and washable....eewwww.!

LOL.

yes, well, usually this guy uses an open faced helmet in his Elise (now I know why) but as my Caterham doesn't have a windscreen he decided a full face may be safer.

So he borrowed my mates helmet, which he in turn had borrowed from his biker neighbour.

Thing is he neither openned the visor first or hung his head out the 'door' - in fact he did the reverse and turned his head to me and honked at 100mph.

The first I knew about it was when I looked in my rearview mirror and thought what the fk is that sprayed all over my roll bar and boot cover, I then looked at my forearm and saw some splattering - still bemused I turned to look at said passenger and noticed not only was he covered in vomit but so was my jacket shoulder, harness and headrest. Still at least I could still see where I was going, his visor looked like a bag of puke which of course it was

Still I got my own back this morning, I emailed the picture to his boss (they both work in my office) who is going to set it up on the Mr Passenger's PC as his wall paper (Mr Passenger is on leave today but the whole office already know and have seen the pictures).

Bloody hell. I'm doing a trackday at Palmersport tomorrow. Hope that wasn't one the delightful "communal" lids. If it was, I'm gonna buy one on the way up!
