Ace shots, awesome footage @liver  :happy2:

Going again this year? I'm heading over to Adneau in July  :drinking:

Not sure, need to get a house bought asap so will all depend on that. The missus came for the first time this time and loved it, wants to try and fit a trip in towards the end of the year

how do you rate the ad08's?
did the go off at all?

I rated the AD08's. I changed to pilot sport 3's on the Tuesday as they are much better in the rain

Squeaky bum time when you hit the grass!

My heart went just watching it!

I know

I'm very jealous of your trip mate, I would love to do Spa and do want to do the ring aswell but as you said there's often a lot of traffic and you can't really enjoy it as much as I'd like, I'll probably just do a few laps to say I've done it tbh.

Yeah its hard to be setting good times when its so busy. It didn't help at all that it was a bank holiday as well

Very Jealous! Great photos.

Im heading back to the ring this year. Would love to do spa too.

Your Youtube links are not working

Cheers, I would recommend both so much



Working for me.
Your mrs (i'm guessing from the trousers) needs to get off her phone lol! And nearly grabbing your arm mid skid, cheers love!!!! well held :-) looks like a riot.

Top use of the car.  :happy2:

she was lap timing at spa and keeping an eye on how long my sessions were, shes not checking facebook lol

Yeah the grab wouldn't have been ideal, I thinks he realised that as she doesn't actually touch me

the car loves it, the more abuse it gets the better it behaves

even managed to double lap at the ring with no problems at all

awsome moter pal,  been round the ring as a passenger a couple of times, he's a professional driver and would just go round everything, couldn't understand how a fwd car has so much grip! 9.03 is a good time, i used to go a lot in modified astra vans and we got down to the 9 min mark, peoples faces were so funny. defiantly stay away from bank holidays and weekends its just not worth it anymore. The steak in your picture is hands down the best I've ever had! keep doing what ya doing! I'm jealous a r26r has no room for a baby seat  :notworthy:

cheers for the kind comments.

They really are a very capable car in the right hands. My quickest time in this is an 8.47 with traffic. I've watched the lap above and noted that I overtook 17 cars in total, got over taken by none and think I lost around 15 seconds due to the yellow flag and cautious drivers in front of me just after the yellow flag.

I still think that Pinocchio's steaks are better than the pistenklaus ones.

There's plenty of room in the rear to attached a baby seat haha

Havn’t updated these in ages.

Not a lot really to report, just been enjoying the car. Havnt covered the most miles this year in this but when I have used it I’ve loved every second.

Did a track day at cadwell in August, here are the pictures, car was brilliant throughout the day

















Heres a few from the Autum Malton Porsche breakfast meet

Unfortunately Mark the one I've lapped the Nord in was in nowhere near as good a nick as yours is, slippy clutch and some brakes from a wooden battle ship  :scared: :signLOL:

Not many FWD heroes match it on track  :smiley:

Pics are great.

Yeah I remember you saying, the RSR cars really are not kept to a very good standard ive heard, but it is very hard when all they do is lap the ring.

Cheers, I love the pics also, nice that others can enjoy
