I can lend Rich a Hero 3 but have no suction mount. Has any one got a suction mount he can borrow?  :drinking:

Also Matt, do you want me to pass a US plug adapter to Rich? I don't think I can make it, got family visiting after returning from the sandpit

How did the track day go lads.  :happy2:

Cupra R

Fantastic.

What a great group of lads to meet.  :happy2:

Weather was great if a little cool. Plenty of track time, even though loads of incidents (from others might I add)

The full GP circuit is really good. Couldn't believe how fast the track is.

Donington was as good as I'd imagined  :happy2:

Top Cat

Good stuff.  :smiley:  Donny is on my list to do this year. It is just a bit too expensive in the summer. I am hopefully going to do one of the evening sessions up their.  :driver:

Did Neil M's boost pipes stay on for the whole day.  :popcornsoda:

Ha. That's one of the reasons why I booked it. Full GP circuit. Always wanted to do Donington (done it on two wheels) good price and the weather forecast was good.

Yeah, he didn't have no probs with boost pipes. Ask him about a pheasant though.

Matto

Was good to meet you all yesterday. Sounds like you had a good day. I must say all your cars look and sound awesome  :happy2:

Hi Lads, had a good day at Donington, even managed the whole day on one Cam Follower  :wink:  Although, I did take out a Pheasant coming out of McLean's, little F@#ker cracked my carbon bonnet!!

Some footage just about hanging onto the back of Shaun's epic motor, and getting caught up in The Italian Job, sorry Rich only got a bit of you at the end of the straight, sounds great though  :happy2:

Blimey Shaun. Gotta pay to play though eh pal  :signLOL:

Yours and Neil's cars looked stunning, sounded stunning and looked pretty damn fast.

If and when I can, I'll join you  :happy2:
