Just a few pictures of the Fletcher family on their day out today. The guys were using Toyo R888's for the first time and judging from Jasons initial feedback, he was very impressed :D :D

There were some great cars there, just a shame so many of them seemed a little reserved about getting out there and 'doing it'. It was a little like the Ring car park in that respect. A few show boaters :grin:

AN eclectic mix

Stig and Mrs Stig

My favourite car of the day. It was a shame but he seemed to having a few issues with the car :lol:

These didn't go out in the morning

Nor these :(
There were plenty of spinners which is always entertaining. A stock looking Cavalier tried to follow Jasons line into Russells and found out that 15 year old Repmobiles do not follow semi slick shod cars very well. He did at least a 720 on his way towards the tyres before stopping. The previously mentioned Escort Cosworth also had a real waggle on the exit of the Esses. At least there were no casualties in the laps that I saw.

There we are......I'm sure Mr Fletcher will be along at some point to give his thoughts on the day :thumb:

PS- Yes, I was absolutely gutted that I had to be at work today. The Golf was primed for use and I even had the lid in the car just in case the Mrs rang up to say we could swap days off (again) Bugger!!
