Hi guys,
Just finished watching the F1 and Top gear (had to get me priorities right)
Had a really really great day, other than the Nurburgring this is the first time I have legally driven a car in anger. I enjoyed it so much.
I was the first one to get there at 7.30am and it was soooo cold and windy, I really did think 'what have I let myself in for?'
Anyway once we got going it was very wet and slippery, but slowly all out times got better. At the end of the day I had improved on my first lap time by 13 seconds!!!! Was well chuffed.
The ST was great to drive and I could feel everything the car was doing. One big problem was the amount of torque the derv puts out, it was spinning in 2nd and 3rd which made it hard to accelerate around corners without spinning.
Jason and I also had a nice little competition as our cars were similar on bhp. I ended up beating him by around half a second, so very close.
Had a crap journey home and got caught in a traffic jam on the M11 for about an hour.
Was nice to see you all again.
Thanks to Dave for sorting this out and thanks to Kamelia and Janey for keeping my wife company.
Hopefully we will have better weather for the next one.
Paul
