Default Knockhill Driving Experience

Had a very early start this morning... It was all worth it though, cos i got to drive one of these.




Went out in the MG ZR 160 first. Got 3 laps for the instructor to see what my driving was like, then i got taken out in the MG ZS 180 to be shown what not to do.

Then i got to jump into the 1200cc motorbike engined RWD little animal.

The gear change was odd, considdering it was on the right hand side, but it was a sequential box, so it was easy enough.
I had to use my left foot for breaking though because I have size 16's and I didn't have enough clearance to move my right foot that much.

But it was an amazing day... well worth the 8 month wait

I'll admit, I spun it twice at the hair pin, but only because I was getting a little enthusiastic with the right pedal coming out of the corners
