Spotted At Rockingham
Discussion
I arrived at Rockingham yesterday for the VXR track day for the afternoon session and spotted another black VXR (reg KV56...). I tried to see if I could park mine next to it but there wasn't room. When I was coming back I saw it leaving with plenty of sideways action on the gravel car park 
Was it anyone from here?

Yep that was me in el beast, had a great day at Rockingham, but tbh when I saw the acres and acres of open gravel car park I'd have happily given them the £130 or whatever to just play in that all day! Having failed to drift the VXR8 I needed to convince the other half it was just a matter of being familar with the weight of the controls.
Well, it would have been rude not to try
I love that car. How did you find the day, the Astra VXR (awful throttle response aside) was the most fun I thought.

Wait a sec… you own a Monaro and you haven’t perfected the drift? 
I almost managed it but lost it right at the very end when I went for a bit more opposite lock and hit the stops.
Were you on track first or second? I was on at the end of the day when it was piss wet through so most of it was spent battling with traction, or a complete lack of. The VXR8 was losing traction in a straight line at quite high speed on the various crests. The Astra was the most fun though even if it was a bit understeery. Did you sample the delights of the Insigna's brakes on the track? The discs were so warped the car was almost shaking itself to bits!
It was a great day out all in all - £120 to spend the afternoon abusing someone elses cars Buffet wasn’t bad either
