No, it's like you saying if you put a rugby shirt on, would it make you any less of a puff? No is the answer..... .

Nope, is a boy's day out .

As much as I like you, just me and you at the hotel would start a rumour that even I couldn't recover from .

Well I'm bringing the sometime better half with me as the second driver!

So if anyone wants to be driven by a blonde with pace, then leave Mike alone and have a word with my missus!

WTF did you let him be in charge of that for - lesson learned (tell him to do one and you're all staying on Saturday instead ).

He didn't have a lot to say when I pointed out how messy things would get the night before and how stupid that was for trying to get up early to do a track day !
