Fantastic day. Did personal bests on the sprint and clubman layouts. Thanks Abyss for another top afternoon.

Just need you to sort out traffic on the Ipswich Mwy. Spent a quarter of the trip home in 1st and 2nd gear :evil:

Kinda lost traction in the rear after missing the apex at turn 2, backed it off the track at prob about 130? odd, I had washed off most of the speed before going into the kitty litter, only jsut touched it, but aparently mx5s aren't very good at 4WDing. I dont know who it was in the silvery coloured 5 with the red sparco seat, but they had a front row seat

he was just behind me after passd him just before turn 1.

In the ten or so minutes I was sitting in the car waiting for a tow out of the kitty litter I learnt from my rear view that if you look at racecar backwards it stll says racecar, only the letters are backwards

Had a brilliant time, as usual

I reckon Doug may be getting swamped with a few Dunlop tyre sales

Quite embarrassed about the M3 barbeque :oops:

Fun drive home also

I do drive like an old woman though

It did slide a bit more than the NC, stickier tyres would obviously help. Was definately faster down the straight by about 25 kmh.

Yes, great day Abyss. Had fun.

Yes. It was an interesting view, although I think the back end had lost traction even before the apex. I was watching a slow slide start just after you entered the corner.

What an awesome day!! big hands for for making it another successful one Peter. Steve thoroughly enjoys it, although he hadn't admit to I'm sure he's secretly considering an MX5 :mrgreen:

Cheers
