Official croft topic
Me and Si B are currently heading up the M5 at about 100 bananas (mph would be speeding) Nigel not far behind us, left yeovil about an hour ago, hoping to be there about 9am or so.
Have got the slicks in with us as weather report was looking good at 2am when we packed the wheels, only for it now to start saying rain on sunday on metcheck, doh!
Going to be doing it on 19" road tyres at this rate, not good!

Heard there have been a couple of "offs" but nothin too serious.
Im sick as fuck, only just got in from work. I wasnt supposed to be in this morning but we were stupidly busy and I had to.
Was gonna run through now but would be about 3.30 by the time I get there which is a bit pointless really. Ill be there for opening in the morning though, just try and fuckin stop me.

First off was SiB in his evo, with lambchop in the car, got it a little wrong round the hairpin coming onto the main straight, he and the AYC were both fighting each other to try and control the car I think, spun round and hit the lefthand barrier with the drivers side, panel damage all down the side, but nothing too serious, mechanically still fine and we've had some more good session since.
Andrew Gallaghers off happened right in front of me, the blokes a fucking headcase, lol, was totally sideways all the way from the left by the bank down to the first hairpin, then flicked it totally the other way, entering the bend more or less backwards, came off the track, kept his foot in drifted accros the grass, still kept his foot in went right across the concrete and hit the other side of the barrier to where Si B hit.
He really is nuts, he throws that car around like its a piece of shit he couldnt care less about, absolutely awesome to watch, have seen him do the same bend about 10 times since and same basic attack strategy each time, enther with the back in front of the front, and power right round and out, its like watching a speedway bike, proper rally driver stuff but on tarmac not gravel.
Awesome day out so far, and looks like being a great nights camping, dave and helen are hear now too, helen's just popped off with Si and Nige and AndyR to show them where to get fuel.
One of the guys with andyr got some pics of gallaghers off, i'll see if I can get them onto my laptop and upload them later if I get a chance, they really do capture it fucking well judging by how they look on the camera preview screen.
