Great weekend, it seems no matter what we do to our cars, me, Jimmy and Ben (red Exige) always seem to be very close and have great fun on track, all the vx's went great, and when we all went out together, there was some serious fun being had by all. Glad Mark got through in the end (did they take his glass off him!!)and all got home ok. New rear pads, a quick clean and I'll be ready for the National! Great to meet everyone. Martin and Lauren s©

I'll second that...great trip all round. Good to meet new faces and make new contacts. Hope you all got home safely, and what a difference in traffic levels between UK and France. Looking forward to the next French foray as long as your Crap Navs are switched off! Enjoy the National and hope to see you soon somewhere. Am at Donington with Martin SC on 14th August - £145.00 booked direct with circuit. Dodge & Jan chinky chinky

So it wasnt just me that couldnt hold the video very still! Good stuff, what it doesnt show is me gentlemanly moving over to let you and jimmy by, but jimmy refusing to come by, even when I dropped down to about 30 mph!! Great fun. You just need to add to my vehicle notes, cheap spax supsension, standard (ish) brakes, old overweight bloke driving. Martin s

I am annoyed because Polly did not get any of my amazing drifts on camera! Of course i dont mind! If you let me know where and when it is i can give you a higher res copy if you like, i think the compression messes up the colours?

Nice one Ben, There is even some footage of you chasing me down in the second clip. You can spot my car coz of the GB sticker on the bottom right of the rear clam.
