Ok, I am VERY tired, back is hurting and want to go to bed BUT I will just post a few of these for the guys who went today and those who couldn't make it as it was an awesome day.

Well down to the organisers, great event, and the same cool chilled atmosphere

yo Lee

some cool pics there bud

you see that white golf it took me 2 1/2 laps to pass him ....fair play to the guy it is a quick little car and he is a good driver when i asked him what power he had in it he told me 200 bhp .....fooking awesome car for 200bhp ........somehow i think it might of had a bit more power than 200bhp no way i say because even on the striaght i started only pulling away slighly in 4th gear....

gob mostly all the cars out there were on slicks not that many on rd tyres tho only a hand full like myself and a few others .......

anyway i had a very good day and the car is home now with no probs .......

thanks bristol/swindon group for a top day out
