That'll teach me to try and keep up with you! Got it on the GoPro footage too...
I had a few offs, but generally had a great day... hope you did too?
You got much footage?
Footage er! Left my gopro in the office doh!
I was enjoying our little ding dong, I caught you up quite a way then hit traffic, caught you up again then traffic, you pulled away then you kindly
let me past, after which I saw a spinning mk in my rear view mirror!
I had a few pant soiling moments myself!
Donny in a few weeks for me if you fancy it?
I'd be interested in seeing the 'oh my god' moment you had....
:-)

Ohhhhh Donington... now you're talking! my fave...
For me, I feel I need two sets of wheels, a wet set, and dry set... only having had 888s today - in the wet it was rather... well... you can
imagine!
Whats the gen on Donny? When? Who with?

I only have two sets of r888s on tdynamics rims, one set barely road legal. I was thinking today about a wet set but I'd rather slow down a
little on the 888 or not bother going out at all!!!
Donny is 10th July evening with book a track (a very good tda) only £135. If you fancy it we can drive there together
Blyton Sunday 21st is tempting as well...

Oh and Bedford 27th looks good, fairly local, easy to get to, strict on noise though from what I've heard. Not been before

Been to Bedford twice, in two seperate cars - and got thrown off within the first few laps lol - I'm not doing that again...
I'm just uploading the my off behind you to YouTube now, I'll post the link once its up... the two laps before you made an appearance were
my fastest laps of the day at 54.9s according to the Go Pro footage, then I was due to come into the pits and heard you come flying by... which
encouraged me to come back out to play... lol
10th July sounds good to me, just need to check I have enough Wife Points that she'll let me go  you on Facebook? u2u me...

That is one quick little 205! Stonking the way it pulls away through Gerrards towards the end of the video. Looked great fun!

Bruce the weather was horrendous after lunch really... so quite annoying that I had only got 888s with me lol
Just chatting to the bread knife now about Donington... I'm sure I'll go... just would prefer to get some decent tyres to do it on!

You'll be fine with just 888s, it won't rain, honest, this is England!!!
I've watched your vids, you carry good speed, car looks very poised. Do you find it more comfortable to drive with just one hand on the steering
wheel?

Yes always have done strangely lol
I only tend to use both hands at the hairpin
It was actually very skittish, needs setting up really as its only been done by eye with two axel stands and a piece of string!
Lack of traction really pissed me off around Gerrards, I could accelerate much more without under steering towards the outside of the circuit...
How did yours feel? Did you like the way I dived back out of the pits to come and get ya? lol

Ha ha yes, I originally thought you just let me passed so you could have a run behind, I didn't realise you we're driving into paddock
First time on track with my newly purchased mac1 so i was pretty cautious. My friend who previously owned the car modified and set it up, it's
very quick in the right hands. I have a long way to go to do it justice!
There's not much that will make my mac faster (apart from a turbo!), it already has all of the right 'go fast' gear on so it's
upto me to swallow brave pills and man up!
It has an incredible spec so full credit to the guys that set it up!

Ah BigRich, I've read a lot of threads with info about my car, I even found a magazine feature. You did a very good job of putting it together -
I love the exhausts! - what a brilliant idea!
It has changed quite a bit since you built it and is now a devastating track car!
There is a blueprinted engine in now.. I broke the gearbox in the old engine which is now waiting to be repaired so i'll have a spare engine
when its fixed.
Top job fella, I love the car!
