I was watching as it happened and have seen the stills lambchip is on about, pretty classy set of pictures as it clearly shows you still hard on the gas trying to pull it back out even when on the grass and then on the concrete, smoke pouring off tyres still etc.

Fair play for the way you were "messing about" in such a valuable car, was a real pleasure to watch, same for your mate in the other focus too (charlie shaw iirc?)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to you, Charlie and the other guy who was on track too (sorry can't remember his name) for coming down. Although your visit was a brief one

Big up to the guy who was with you for donating the money that we normally give to guest drivers back to charity, was a really nice gesture. We offered it to Charlie but he said that it would be better going to the other lad as he had damaged his car, when we offered it he wouldn't accept it.

I hope you didn't have too much work to do on your car to get it ready for Sundays race. Roll on next year where hopefully you'll be able to bring 4 cars with you

After reading Carlos post I believe the guys name was Kenny. So thank you Kenny for offering the guest driver money back to Charity

i was driving behind Kennys Focus trying to get past him,he was going for it and the backend stepped out and he spun and hit the tyre wall.

shame about the damage to the car, i did go over and have aword with him and he was fine about it,just one of them things.

hope its fixed soon.

the two blue cars are quite confusing!

I knew a few weeks ago that Charlie had painted his blue but if I had a pound for everytime someone said to me that Andy had a "replica" car I would be a millionare!
