Yep what a superb way to spend a January (Winter) afternoon. Now in true Snetterton fashion we had almost all the seasons in one day and arriving in the morning with the pouring rain I thought it would put a damper on the day but after the sun broke through about 11 o clock things were much better, not just for the drivers but also for photography !

Was nice to get the chance to get out there and take a few pics.

Highlights for me are the numerous passenger laps with Ben in the mighty Type R Impreza. It certainly surprised me on a number of occasions round the track at how well it gripped, seemed to pull instantly and was flat whilst on stock STI suspension. Great fun.

Good to catchup with everyone (even Stuart who before I said hello bollocked me for not letting him know when I was there

).

Some shots (only a few from the main selection)...

This thing (Morgan ?) sounded like a WW2 plane going by and every time I was grinning :

Not the most in focus image but I think it shows the speed and how difficult it was to get pictures of !!

One more of Bens.....oh go on then.....

Mine are on here.....(will add more later)

Great photos guys (apart from that one of me squinting into the sun Maff!)

Was a great day with plenty of banter and lots of guys walking around with bloody great grins on their faces

Nice to catch up with friends old and new

Maybe i drive a bit too casually?, turning up the stereo mid corner and my uninterested glance as I pass the spun mx5 @ 1:15 .. lol. Don't worry I only took a minute of footage, couldn't be bothered to watch the rest.

Obviously 1080 is better to watch it
