Well since last september i attended, TRAX and did a session there and was hooked. I did a session in december at Snetterton a couple of weeks after joining BP i had already visited santa pod in october. I returned in january with the same car. I then bought the mr2 and attended my first full day at marham. I then changed car again and returned to marham. Getting the taste for drifting now so thats my focus. Silverstone X 1, Snetterton X 2, santa pod X 2, marham X 2.

Don't want to think about it too hard as it'll give me an idea of how much it's all cost

I blame BP and you lot, ESL in particular.

No mag features as it's only an estate car and it would mean cleaning it

You have done more this season than anyone I've ever met. Twice at weekends and whatever you can find midweek. Reminiscent of a younger Lord Fulke-Greville (without the continuously getting banged up stuff). Awesome work. Shows that a Scoob can be pretty tough despite a hard life if properly looked after.

I have got hooked into Sprinting

But then have missed loads due to my slight mishap

Onwards and upwards for 2008 tho :-D

Not too much for me, this year's been a mental one for work unfortunately.

Highlights were the virgin's track day and the 2nd Snetterton track event.

Down points were realising I needed to spend quite a bit of money on fixing the car...

...followed by excitement at the thought of taking the newly refreshed (and rather more powerful) rex out on track next year

Tracy can't wait to join me too which is cool.

Cheers,
Alex

Snetterton at least 5 times, some of which were half days.
Cadwell twice (one of which killed the E30)
MLR Sprint (fastest no EVO)
RAF Marham once
Drift night
Quarter mile night
Fighting Torque
Prodrive driver training day

Changed to the CSL in Feb

And lots of meets and other things I have probably forgotten about

Your car wouldnt show up well in the mags either Gerry with its cloaking device. They would need to attach x-rays specs to the cover for each reader :lol:

well this year has been quite interesting, gained a couple of new cars

So in the Cat
