Default Oulton Park Pics (LOADS!)

Here's a few I managed to take between going on track. Not many, but you get the idea

Cracking day....but as for the night before, what can I say....Neil, your a dirty boy Carlo, Charlie Shaw and Andy Gallacher....leg-ends!

And Blacky, star man with the mini cooker, sausage and bacon baps!

































....and my car!

c*nt! Actually not many appart from the Gallacher crew and a few powerful Beamer's passed me...oh, and the Radical, that's just mental! I seemed to be on when the "I'm not assed" drivers were on!

@ KSA-Cossie

Yeah, Will was a right laugh last night, but the poor lad was stricken with bad luck today. Although he got quite a few laps in, a persistant oil leaked decided to wreck his fun I'm sure he'll sort it though

Well mate, TBH I was well gutted your dad wasn't going to be there, looked forward to blagging a pass. ride off him!

Charlie and Andy both made enough noise between them on track, impressive as always!

As for Martin, when I spoke to him, he explained the Escort wasn't really suited for that track, but he had a crack at it with his MG instead. I think he was happier?

On the contrary Jim, Martoons Escos loved the track.... he was just taking it easy cos it`s the first time he had seen the place....

Well that was until i got in and we had a tear up with Dangerous

We lapped the Gallardo twice in 20 minutes

Haha - you loved the lounge banter

I still had a cracking day oil leak aside - day was a shakedown really, learnt a lot about the car, it will lead to bigger and better things
