I tried to mail you back this morning mate but my phone was being a dick and wouldnt let me on the internet once i was there.
Did you head up? It was a wet track but drying, and it didnt rain once,was a good enough day out with some cracking cars.

Not a problem man, al no doubt see you next trackday a Knockhill or a half decent event up at Crail. My Sierra was rank today it was a rush job to get it ready, should have just brought the Focus up and had a blast on the strip it would have been a lot less stressful that way.
Was a good day anyway,nice to see some real Fords back out for 2012

Matty fair play to you buddy, it did look a bit of a handful yesterday and you never binned it either so we live to tell the tale.
Although there was some funny noises/faces at the start line when you tried to plant it in 3rd! Including mine.

The really worrying this is I was on low boost.
With those slicks it was like driving on ice!

Good meeting you guys too Andy
We were laughing about that later on, IMSYs battery dying, Al building up the tension, everyone waiting on the last race for the trophy , and it all went wrong
still a good day, watching yous go up side by side sideways most times was brilliant

think of the money you'd save on boxershorts every time you try and get the power down!

Sounds mental mate 
I was trying to stay away from you yesterday but just happened to go to the que at the same time. Do you use it for time attack?

Last year I was in Club Class, came 3rd at Knockhill about 0.6 off of 1st but no podium as I was a OHW.
Brands wasn't a great experience, suffered oil starvation and destroyed my engine...but I'd love to do Brands again - what a wonderful track!
Snetterton, mixed feelings to be honest. Again great track, but with Brands Hatch still in my mind and a fresh engine I'll hold my hands up and admit I drove like a fairy!
Costs to go down south are just too much, so I'll do as many trackdays at Knockhill as I can starting this Saturday with TrackScotland.
As ever, it boils down to money. Or lack of!

Get some wets/intermediates for Knockhill Matty, the weather is ment to be rank
Dont want to be going out on slicks if thats what it does in a straight line

Evening!
No I'm afraid that would be my boss, Mike with his white Evo VIII. He's got a 'tad' more bhp than me!
I only managed a 10.8 today on low boost. I had issues with my Ikeya shifter so I didn't want to chance flatshit on high boost!
