    First Time on Track since 2009!

    So last time on track in 2009 my S13 burst into flames during a Time Attack event.

    That was in the end the end of the S13 (although I persisted with the money pit for another 2 years after that never got it back together)

    Anyways, Monday and I got half a trackday, with Nismo Pete having the other half in his 430BHP S14. OSG Box, GT3071R, full weld in T45 cage, Apex coilies, KSport Brakes and R888 rubber - a proper weapon and also an ex Time Attack car offa the naughties.

    Have a little vid "Monkey Drives Again"

    Bedford is great fun, that's the last track I drove on. Half thinking of getting another car I can enjoy on track but it's an expensive hobby.

    argh I could watch an hour long video of myself driving around a track, but twelve minutes watching someone else, with no deaths, no crashes, no rollovers, not even a nudge is a tough ask these days.
    Let Pete drive, then post that vid

    I'm not getting another track car, not unless I suddenly become rich .... however its likely me and Pete will do a couple more trackdays in the next 12 months. And my Van made easy work of the towing.

    I'm enjoying the MTB and my 50bhp/tonne daily drive

    I've got vids of Pete, and yes he is closer to the edge - but its his car, I cant afford to stuff it in a barrier. Nothing past me all day, porkers = mobile chicanes, M3's/Scooby/Evo no problems .... but for now enjoy my smoothness

    I'll edit Pete's vids up when I get chance.

    Was an excellent day and can't wait to get out on track again , I must admit after 3 years not on track it took a few
    Sessions to get back in the groove
