30 mins more until upload is complete :) - I'll prewarn you, the gopro with the waterproof case doesn't pick up sound .. so no juicy engine sounds, just a pumping tune :)
Dum spiro, spero

Had a great time today. Big thanks to all those who organised/ran it. Usual high quality driving/friendliness.

Metro did me proud as usual, but was lacking in grunt for the 2 straight bits (racing excuse)

Shame i cannot make it again tomorrow. Hopefully we will be able to organise another event soon.

Had a great day at the Marham event and having not done an autotest found out its a good way to wearout tyres . It was pretty hard work trying to get the Camaro around the course , if you can imagine trying it in a bus thats what it was like . I should probably stick to straighter stuff but were,s the fun in that and to be honest i prefered the track when it was raining . A trip around in the VR6 was a real eye opener a lot quicker and better suited to the tight circuit and i was impressed by the lightened dash but not enough to take a grinder to mine , also had a ride in Dans Supra and thats a fun car plenty of sideways stuff . I always liked the Skylines and Christians GTR is a proper jap muscle car and if i didnt have the Camaro the chances are i,d have a Skyline . I have got a bloody great long list of to do with the Camaro/bus as i what to go quicker and be able to out turn an aircraft carrier . I would like to thank Stu and the other BP members for organising the event and i must remember not to park on tarmac.Pete:Chevy_anim:
