Yep, sadly. Lack of talent and cold slicks = messy.

I've got a video here of the crash and will do a post about it tonight.

Thankfully apart from LambChop who was in the car at the time no one else was involved, and although they red flagged the session, everyone went straight back out on track again just doing a slow drive though of the pits.

Ah, thought so as I noticed the bit on here saying about working offshore next to his name.

Proper fella, spent ages chatting to him about everything (as you noticed, lol)

Would be good to see some pics of your car Greg if you have any online?

Either way, you seem like pretty bad luck to me, keep the fuck away from all my cars, they have enough issues without you jinxing them

Was that the silver clio? If so I think I must have met you too, as I was talking to a bunch of lads who came up in a stripped out clio, over by sketche's red evo as he was changing the tyres.
