A thoroughly enjoyable day, thanks for organising. Between us, Benny and I caused 7 cases of tinnitus, 3 partial deafness, 11 burst ear drums, countless palpitations and a coronary. The drive back to the motorway was lively, my son's heart is still racing! Maybe not as much as the group of girls in Nantwich who screamed, swore and laughed as we terrified them with a quick rev-off in the traffic!

Sage doesn't sound right. I think massive bell end suits him much better!!

Yes; a good day but shame about the parade laps. Thanks to Benny for arranging for us to be there. Some lovely metal but Benny and MAF definitely showed them how the exhaust thing is done! I'm quite happy with my x-pipe conversion and you should take the plunge Stewart. PM me if you want to know the ins and outs.
I also took the scenic route home over the Woodside which was too busy for any fun but a nice run in the sun - took some pics on the tops.

That was funny! As was scaring the sh!t out of about 40 bystanders watching us park up in the paddock, which just never gets old. Even Sue was laughing even though, being married to me, she doesn't have much to laugh at!

Oh no OB - Sue has plenty to laugh at, just not much to laugh about
Good to see you today, sorry it was only too brief.

Likewise mate. Now take your MAF type humour and cram it!

Thanks Benny,
Was a good day, and run out after many months.
Watched all of the second GT race and there were at least 3 crashes at Fogarty Moss Corner. Good Action spinning hitting barriers etc.
Also managed to do the lap of the track 6 Ferrari, and the 1 sole Maserati. Although it looked like a rally track at some points with plenty of mud on the track. Also Took a junior marshal as a passenger, who was pleased to be going round the track in a Maserati at the end of a long day.
5minutes to get out of the track then nearly 1hour to travel 1mile from the hairpin outside the track to the main A road.
Still a good day with the weather coming good.
Italian for dinner, and Italian for supper, hope you enjoyed your quiche and salad MAF when you got back.

No worries mate, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. The traffic getting out was my major concern, as it can be really bad if you hit it wrong. Glad that you were able to get that lap in and nice you took a youngster around with you, I'll bet you made his day. Good to see you again mate and we look forward to the next time. Regards.

I feel a bit of editing by MAF is coming along.

Nice work chaps, great to pass on the fun to younger folk.
Anyone here thought about doing just that all day long? Check out Sporting Bears dream rides. At events across the country.

Im dreaming of X Pipes now, awesome day yesterday and good to meet you all in person and admire the Maseratis. I then went home and watched Wheeler Dealers as they turned a 3200 into profit.

More like crashing! Some shocking driving which cost us our run out on the track.
