Awesome day 
Managed a fair few laps despite some niggles during the day and managed to meet a couple of you as well. Thanks to Madgit for the passenger laps and the lads who helped me push the car into the garage after it spat it's coolant (not sure whether they are on here)

Was a good day although the Red Shed was poorly. I should have been sensible and put it back on the trailer in the morning when i realised it wasnt well but didn't so now it's the dead red shed.
Finally got a few pics of the cars together. Over 1000 HP sitting there and both around the 800 per tonne mark!

Dunno it was red flagged whilst I was out virtually on my own. Came back in and saw them queueing to go back out, waited in it for a few mins then thought stuff it and decided to go home, only realised it was Mike's on my way out.

Mikes car had a leak but all sorted now 
Big thanks to him for a passenger ride earlier in the day.
That car grips and brakes like nothing else. Fantastic ride. Thanks Mike.
Good to catch up with people and meet new ones too. I had a couple of fun laps in my car today, lacks power but the thing grips and handles like a dream.

Here's some of my pics from the day. Thanks to:
Chip and his lady for the passenger rides , Helen loved going out on the track with your missus she had a big old grin plastered on her face upon getting back to the pits. Unfortunately I am now considering a cheap Clio myself just for track work 
RichardPON for the not at all sideways laps in his M3, awesome car!
Rob@SCC for the hot laps in his Focus RS, I honestly cannot believe how well that thing puts down 400+bhp through the front wheels
And
Glad to hear it was nothing too serious but it was a bit of a worrying moment as Mike spun right in front of us

The oil filter vibrated loose (thankfully as we just left the pits) and dumped half the contents of the sump on track before we spun on the oil deposited on the tyres at a leisurely 20mph. Richie (sailor boy) jumped in to help and screwed it back on, but the seal had come out of the resess, so when we started it back up, it was still pissing out.
Luckily with it still being only 4.40, Ben went into town, got oil, filter and filter ratchet from Halfords (as Richie had done the other one up so tight, he couldn't undo it again), and it was all put back together and I was able to drive home.
I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who pitched in, as it meant that I didn't have to worry about anything:
Richie fixed it
Ben (Gatecrasher) went and got all the parts
Nathan, Paul and RichPON all waited in case I needed a lift home.
Absolute stars the lot of them
