Hey everyone, nice to meet some of you at last  :drinking:

Really enjoyed it, it's very addictive! My best run was 13.8 at 106mph, quite pleased with that as it was my 1st time... It was very slippy on the line so struggled to get going, the best time was without launch control.

Think it shows bluefin is pretty good too seeing all the sh*t that gets said about it...Its 'pretty nippy' haha, quick enough to see to the r32  :confused:  :signLOL:

Anyway look forward to the next one :happy2:

Great day   :driver:

It was nice meeting everyone and seeing some good times being put down despite the conditions.  My best time was a measly 14.2 which I'm a bit disappointed with to be honest, I need to practice my launches in the S3!

Also thanks for James for letting me check out his Milly, I've made my mind up now about what to go for  :smiley:

I just got back - And I'm no longer a quarter-mile virgin  :jumpmove:

I really enjoyed it and mostly due to my first ever run being Jonny driving my car and showing me how to launch etc. Of course, I subsequently cocked it up in usual RR fashion by forgetting to take my left foot totally off the brake for the first zillion feet! But by my third attempt I did 14.8182 / 98.76 mph. Jonny managed a 14.0739 /100.99 mph solo driving my car. So it's reasonable to think that on a better day my K03 car will get in the 13's and it would be extra good if I can do it.

Big thanks to Jonny  :drinking: - You gave me the confidence I needed. Gee, he's a smooooth driver.

Sorry I didn't manage to say bye-bye to everyone.

Hedge, you starting a photo thread?
