Default Clarkson was at the Ring!

Look out for Chris (AKA Cossymad) doing him TWICE on the same lap . Jezza was that slow that he was being timed on a sun dial in the new 420bhp V8 supercharged Jag S-type-R .

He was bantering with everyone and when asked if he wanted a go on the back of a bike told the guy "No thanks, I'm hetrosexual. Maybe if I was 10 years younger and 20% braver" - to which the biker added "and 10 stone lighter" .

Mike,

Good to have you back in one piece

Any "incidents" to report?

I heard on the MLR Forum that a Black EVO6 was either totalled, or at least very badly damaged

Didn't see that one.

We had cosmetic damage to the M3 Coupe (bread van) and Evo 7 that was with us, but apart from that, I think everyone else was okay?

Doug, yep a black evo lost it at Brunnchen couldn't see how bad it was, I think it was done during the saturday morning race.

Mike - totally gutted we missed clarkson. Got a cool vid of the convoy down, will get someone to upload it tonight.

Paul,
We saw the race-car Evo go off, but I thought that Doug ment a UK car?

Phil,

It was funny as fcuk
I caught him up and completely wasted him, then slowed down to let him catch up, then done it again!
A few hours later I saw him go out again, so I caught him and done it again!!!
At the end of the lap he jumped the queue of cars to come and tell me 'I'm gonna be on Top-gear.'
Si's crash #2!!

John,
You do realise that letting a Scooby not equipped with slicks get past you, makes you liable to be banned from Pf, especially by anyone as Northern / old / past it / ugly as Rob

Jezza doesn't know the track, hence the slow times, what car you drive has little to do with it there.

I saw the Stig in a people carrier, looked very gay all suited up.

John,
No idea what you're talking about - I only had a couple of bikes and GT3 Porsches (silver and black one together on Michelin Sport Cups and BBS split rims) driven by locals from the "Ring Garage" go past me all weekend .
