Enjoyed today (apart from the crash of course!)

Met quite a few peeps off various forums and loved Richards new R8 V10 :drool:

Ran the Polo in the wet in the morning and it made 14.0 for the 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 5.49. Not bad considering the surface and that it was still wet. Damn DSG stock map still spoiling things though.

I must admit that I enjoyed the handling course. 40.07 seconds.

Golf R gone.

Did jonny Cs TT perform as expected.

@jussa good times mate. You should have had a run with APRs Golf R. Would have been an interesting test

Thanks mate, bit pee'd off about the headwind as I wanted to break the 4 sec barrier  :evilgrin:

Thoughts are with the injured, hope all pull through.


That Headwind was crazy on Saturday Justin.

Even when sitting in the stand the wind was battering everyone's heads.

Must have taken 1 sec+ off the 1/4mile times.

Those S3's are Rapid though. Grip was amazing!  :notworthy:

There was definitely a PITA headwind on the Sat, no doubt..

Check the flags out on this vid.. My mate had to cup his hands round his phone whilst filming this (hence the sound being crap)..



A full second might be a bit optimistic though Carlo..  :signLOL:

Neil,

You followed me into the show, my two kids were going mad looking at your car behind, they loved it.  :happy2: 

"Dad why can't you get one like that"  :sad1:

I stood with the kids watching on the strip for an hour or so, sometimes things like that don't even cross your mind.  Our thoughts are with the injured.

You obviously have excellent parenting skills and children with great taste  :wink:

Neil

I may have missed it somewhere, but are there any updates on the injured people?

I heard that they are all "OK" i.e. not critical.  :smiley:

thats great news that they are ok, good luck to the 3rd person. Could have been any one of us that had stood by the strip that afternoon
