Many thanks Andrew, you were missed.

Ironically, I previously had B+Q mix some Valspar in yellow and blue so I touch up little bits  :))

My mate was at Thruxton yesterday... i did ask him to see if he could borrow these but alas no.

Sorry for the delay posting this incident. Due to being on holiday it's taken a bit longer than normal.

Here is a bit of external footage and Pit Straight Drive-Bys. It's only shot on my phone so sorry about the quality.

Here is Pierre Dieudonné with Clive. I met Pierre at Goodwood in 2015 and chatted with him for around 5 Minutes about his drive in 1991 at Lemans in the 787 sister car. He is such a nice friendly man and willing to talk in detail.

What was the driver of that Porsche doing/thinking? He should have seen you and the other car in his mirrors, seen you were both much quicker and stayed way to the left. Instead, he wanders back to the right on entering Brabham Straight, squeezing you into an impossible situation. Very sad to see this damage on a test day, not even racing!!

I was just a bit agitated with the Porsche, but really upset with the Cupra and complained, but that fell on deaf ears!

Hello Malcolm, I've posted it again without zooming so that you can see it. It does appear he moves right but it could also be the angle of the camera and the closing speed of Clive's car.

Off to Snetterton this weekend

Should be a good event to watch if anyone wants to come along as Trucks, Pickup trucks and Legends are on the bill with our Thunder Saloons.

After a good test and being over the moon with the soft BTCC tyres, I have pushed the boat out and bought a couple of new ones to go with the hardly used ones I have. I will be interesting to see how times compare from last year,
