From Mrs Foxy: Simon has said he "can't be arsed to add anything as I have had such a hard day at work", which I find very difficult to believe when he spends so much time on here!!! I was witness to the big cheesy grin on his face all last night, so I take it he had a good day I have absolutely no doubt he will be on here in the not so distant future, so please don't tell him I have posted this - DOH! I forgot, he'll see it himself

Just had to add my thanks to eveyone who organised the trackday, and Andrew for the weekend run. It's left me really impressed at just how quick the standard VX is (apart from some greenstuff pads on the front, which only just lasted 10 mins at a time). Unfortunately I've wrecked my gearbox, but it didn't spoil a great couple of days.

Howdy Thanks to all the organisers. After telling my girlf what went on over the lunch hour, she is a definite for next time. Only trouble now, is after hearing other peoples Millteks and how anybody with Nitrons didnt seem to spin out on that first corner.............I guess I need to get shopping. Some of the best fun I have ever had. More trackdays soon!!

Oh yeah forgot about the off-roading he did. Maybe that was due to the Alcohol he was feeding it.

Another great trackday, I could only spectate but it was fun to watch you lot thrash around the track. Timbo your spin up at the radar complex was great, especially as I was stood up there watching. Bob (Trescoman) thanks for the passenger ride, those nitrons are great and despite thinking at the first corner out, you were sure to spin you didn't. That car of yours is awesome and you sure now how to drive it. Well your certainly better than me, I think I need more practice must do more track days. Thorney you must arrange another trackday at Anglesey soon if not next year sometime will definitely be there for the next one to all Dan

I've got to add my thanks to all who organised a great day . Most amazing thing over the weekend for me was Timbo not getting lost (aside from the obligatory arsing about near the cottage, even then we were on the right road) all the way up to Anglesey . That spinning stuff happens all the time with him this feat of navigation was a genuine break from the norm The SBS pads held up well too, much better than standard, although not having driven Pagids I can't say if they are as good. Thanks again

I was on SBS pads too, no problems at all to report (except the re-introduction of the brake mice on the way home, hopefully that'll disappear after a few hundred miles like last time). Loads of stopping power and no fade. Steve at Scared Stiff told me that the pads are designed to coat the disk and by the end of the day there was actually a copper coloured coating to the front disks. Rear disks looked normal but then they don't get worked as hard.

Fantastic weekend, thanks to everybody involved in organising it

I have heard the guy who hit the tyre wall did get home ok - although his motor needs 2 new clams, 1 sill and 1 door.

Looks like those mice are spreading

I was on EBC greenstuff and they lasted really well. No squeaking and cannot remember any fading. Although I am a newbie, so maybe wasnt pushing it that hard.

Thinking back, I can remember only two hard breaking points, the hairpin and the first corner, all the others were accelerating and holding on??
