Had a bit of a karting night to celebrate Eliot & Caroline's anniversary tonight.

Top work by Caroline to get us all up there (Xtreme Karting at Larbert) without Eliot knowing biggrin

And who was the only one black/white flagged? Yup, Eliot biggrin

Enojyed it though, despite having to pit early - was much fun thumbup Good job, Caroline smile

Fluffnik was in attendance with a camera, so hopefully he'll have some good shots of the evening.

Highly recommend it thumbup

Cheers for coming along Graham and Carolyn! Cheers also to the Xtreme karting guys, great wee track and karts. First time I had been karting and loved it, hence why I'm still awake! Should have turned a corner like this, should have done that!

Thanks to everyone who made it and kept Elliot guessing with crazy clues! To those that couldn't make it this time, I'll hopefully get another organised in the next couple of months time, but this time it won't be by secret pm's!

Cheers again.

Caroline

Sounds like a good night, pity I couldnt make it, crazy thing is that the party I was at was in Larbert as well, Barbera Davidson Pottery celebrating 40 years in the business. Big motorsport connection since Brian, Barbera's partner used to compete in Autocross, hillclimbs etc, more than a smattering of geriatric drivers from my era.biggrin Anyway, back to topic, put my name down for the next edinlushes extreme karting, has to be done!driving

Glad you all had a good time.

I haven't been karting for years and it would have been great to have a go. Next time ......

Is there still that outdoor/indoor place in East Lothian?? (Macmerry?)

Oh, and for future reference, if the marshals give you two "slowdown" hand gestures, it doesn't mean there's something wrong and you have to stop, and thus go from 2nd to 6th irked
