Hey guys
I'm booked for the morning session at the track so I need to get to Hamptons early. Sorry to miss the run/convoy :cry:
But when you get there, come down to the track to say hello and see the White Lightning in action :D
I'll pop back up to the carpark for Caf&Gas around 12pm if it's still on at that time.

+1, don't have AC and haven't put that heater core in yet, will probably not be great. But it's usually okay once it takes 10-15 mins to clear the first time.
I use anti fog and a beanie with the windows down! Haha :lol:
Dang might have to try this haha.

Just got called into work, so won't make it this time :/ Was looking forward to it though. Maybe next time

Well I was concerned this morning as it was pissing down on my way to BP. Its seemed to be fining up as we met up with everyone.

(Sorry I didn't get many photos)
But we still opted for the Mway direct route to Hampton downs. As we did it pissed down again! (So much for just light showers! :cry: Sorry everyone!)
On the way I also hit 149,000ks (little milestones) :D

And guess what, rained again while we were there!

Which didn't work out too well for everyone on the track! :cry:

Saw plenty more two's at the event also.

Sorry I had to take off early everyone. Wifey needed my help with the kids and my passenger was getting over it.
I couldn't find the rest of you, but caught up with David before we left.
I still had plenty of fun finally getting my car out again! I hope you did also! :D

I will watch the long range forecast and try find a good looking weekend to do a nice scenic run through the back roads soon. So watch this space!
And I hope to see you all again soon! :D :D

sorry I didn't make it but Dorothy wouldn't start.Tried everything but she wasn't having a bar of it. Started raining so had to give up for the day.

Hopefully a new battery and a spray with WD40 and she wil be away again.Temperamental cow

It was an eventful track day that's for sure... Very slippery out there and near slick AR1s at the rear of that Lotus wouldn't have helped!

The White Lightning went really well though I could rarely really floor it as it was loosing traction even in 3rd gear on a straight.
So, was quite a "technical" session today.

Nice to see a few MR2 peeps "in passing" and looking forward to a proper catching up and a run on the backroads on a dry day, soon :)
