) and then didn't see him from then on. Was extremely cool when one of the passengers in the Taxi came over and tell us that the Ring taxi driver had been well impressed with the handling of the 'Scort

Went over with group of us from East Yorks RSOC & was lucky enough to be sat in the esc cos with mike when he overtook the M5 ring taxi
Just wish I'd had a camera @ the time!!! What a sight sat behind the M5 taxi 'givin it large' on every bend - then passing it
The brakes on that esc cos are just awsome!! Cheers again for the lap mike! Have loads of photos & video from the weekend - will sort u that DVD John, can even try post a short clip here if u want
If anybody's going shortly - can highly reccomend trecking upto Adenauer Forst (spelling) bends where we saw loads of offs, long walk up steep hill but well worth it. Loads of stunning machinery there to see this weekend
