a bit of pain is one thing, but i've just sat in the car to see how it felt and i can't physically move my left hand onto the wheel.
i will be 100% by knockhill hopefully although you'll still probably keep up, i'm going to be very rusty having not driven the car since
august.

I think including you, I know of nine. Would think there'd be a few more that I don't know about too. Really looking forward to it now.

Can't see a photo..
You say "down there" surely there's nothing further north than Knockhill?

Fantastic day ..again. Three years running we've been lucky with the weather, not one spot of rain yesterday, unbelievable!
Good to meet a few folks, although I'm hopeless with names and faces, so I probably wont remember who's who!
I took loads of pics, some are uploaded here:

Hello all,
Had a fantastic day and was good to meet and speak to some of you.
Impressive number of cars and was good to get track time with a variety of cars.
Would like to get down to some Southern track days but with Croft being the next nearest track and 6hrs away it's a bit of a trek.

not sure if i spoke to you or not. 6 hours is a fair old trek to croft but we're there a week on saturday, there was mention of a possible place
available.
andy will know if there is.
here's a couple of vids, the second one is the same session as andy's first vid
