    Trackday photos

    OK, so everyone's probably bored with me yammering on about how track days are cheap and the best way to find the limits of your cars.

    Well here's set of photos from one fo oru days at knockhill.
    This was a local club day and we had a variety of cars....

    Enjoy ( or igrnore )
    At least I know it will head off any abuse from Egg-Nog et al about my comments

    Lucky bastard in that 360 Spyder... I bet my VW would own him through the corners.

    Well werwe they of any interest ?

    BTW, the most impressive car on the day was the new Civic R-type. Really fast and handled nicely. Put some of the 'supercars' to shame

    The Subaru estate surprised a few !

    The Diablo spent 10 minutes in the pits 'warming the engine' ( aka posing ! ) and then did 5 laps and then sat in pits with engine bay open ( aka posing again ) and then on his second outing stuffed it into the sand trying to keep up with Elise. Didnt' see the driver as he hurriedly put the car into the transported and disappeared !!
    Our driver of the day award went to the guy in the S2000 who took EVERY corner sideways with a HUGE smile on his face. he didn't care what his lap times were he was just loving getting to find how controllable his car was

    Yep the Alpine is mine
    Sadly the guy in the 360 sold it a couple of months ago....Right after his first service when Ferrari told him every gearchange and revs on that day (!) and pointed out that as he was driving it that hard then there were more things done in the service and more would be needed for the next.
    He had already used 25% of the life of the discs ( not pads - DISCS ).
    So he was looking at a 5 GRAND service.
    So he sold it and got another 911 !!!

    stupid Diablo guy, i would be out there kicking as much ass as i could instead of posing, my posing would be if anyone wanted to take pics of me going through corners.

    Sadly no, the seats are cloth/velour yuk.
    Very confortable and good support in corners but not the 'look'

    As the car was used in TV series in Spain they didn't want leather seats as it causes noise problems when recording
    If anyone knows an A610 leather interior, I'll take the seats
