Default A few Big Ups and Thank yous!!!!

Firstly big up to me for not spanking my car on track today, and for not really having any major incidents

Ahuuuuuuge thank you to Steve Scott, Sara, Simon and Jay @ A1 RallySport for sorting me out with my brakes and putting up with my endless badgering to get them in

Thank you to Dave Green who generously lent me the use his workshop earlier this week to get the car ready. Not forgetting Big Gary for all the time, effort and work he put into prepping the car with a not so helpful assistant who kept asking too many questions

And lastly massive respect to Lee (Porkie) for braving my driving on track early this morning, I was a bundle of nerves and shakes, he taught me the lines of the track and had the patience of a saint, sooooo grateful for that as by this afternoon I started to relax and thoroughly enjoyed myself, hope I didnt scare Marco too much either! lol

Rob yep, as far as I know there was Wildheart in his M reg Red one, although I didn't see him out in it all day im assured he was! There was also a girl in a Red XR2i, mine was the Red RS1800 with black wheels and silver ford livery up the sides.

Dave, next one is Redline Track Attack at Bedford this Friday! Car may need some work before then, but for now its sleeping in the garage until I feel more alive to have a look at it

Indeed it does, but I also didn't get any sleep last night, not sure if it was excitment or nerves but just couldn't sleep, didnt really feel it till the drive home and nearly nodded off on the motorway
Off to bed very shortly me thinks.

Went really well I thought!

It's definitely a learning curve, and I reckon you'll enjoy Bedford so much more, as it's much much less of an intimidating place than Donnington for a novice.

Definitely very noticeable improvement I thought from your first session to last.

Also, sorry for having my "moment" at Craner in front of you
