Shaminder and I only made it to the COTN for a couple of hours. We left about 3 and you definitely weren't there but the guys did say you were coming a little later. Next time!
Another great outing. Wonderful to meet everyone again - as well as meet some new faces. You are right. Vamshi and Krishna are nutters. There is no way they are Indian surely?! :)
Managed to get back in good time on Sunday - the QP behaved impecabbly the whole trip. Got back to receive some...
QP should be raring to go for next week. Haven't driven her recently due to the weather but have managed about a thousand miles or so since servicing her myself in June.
Got to say I am best pleased with my efforts. I have several Beemas and been servicing them myself for many years but this...
No chance mate. My bets will be on hustler Ian hogging top spot on the podium again. I am 50-50 to make the Karting anyway at the minute.
My mate Rad never dances for love nor money - hopefully he'll keep me off any dance floors to save me embarrassing myself! :)
From recollection Hodroyd has...
Indeed. Looking forward to catching up. I have met up with Enzo recently but haven't seen the rest of you rabble in ages! :)
Adam, pm me some bank details and i'll ping you a wire or advise on another convenient method i can reimburse you.
cheers,
Count me in Matt. Will be good to catch up with some of the regulars and meet some newbies. Should be able to make it to Ace by 6.

I think Matt has to drive along at exactly 50mph in order to get 50mpg! ;)
But seriously though, it is so quite inside the cabin of that thing - all you can hear are your voices. You can tell that you have your foot down from the view out of the windscreen but the engine is barely audible!
Matt. is your Alfa a hybrid or something? Compared to Newton's recording, your engine seems to be making no noise at all! ;)
Although, as you say, you seem to be keeping up with everyone reasonably well.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Dem although I think the karting did my back in. :( I now know how you feel Beau!
Maybe we should pick the teams by having captains or something next time? The venue had initially placed two girls on one team, which seemed incredibly unfair (especially as one...
Got back safely on Sun afternoon - car was impeccably behaved all weekend, which is always nice. :)
Like Matt, I couldn't get off the sofa the rest of the day and fell asleep watching the footie.
What a great weekend! Bravo once again to Miles, Dave and all else who had a hand in organising...
