Default My "Activity" day @ North Weald airfield today...
Went to North Weald airfield today in my Mk1 Escort, along with the www.hondas-on-track.co.uk lot (i know someone who runs the site). Was an awesome day out, and loads of fun. Managed to do my rear tires in (see vid!), but was well worth it.

Learned quite a bit about how (bad) my car handles, and that i SERIOUSLY need a quick-rack in it now.

Anyway, no pictures as they came out a bit cack, but vids are worth a watch IMO.







Some twat left these behind on the tarmac







some people, i dunno....


Cheers!
Mike
