Hi Folks

Hope everyone made it home safely. Not first home but don’t think I’ll be last either, sure Scotty is away till Tuesday. Anyway finally made it home tonight after an 8 1/2 hour drive (a mere 460 miles back up to ABZ).

Big thanks to Ben for being the one to initiate the day & Johnny for being the one to sort out the meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed the day & meeting everyone, have now been at the last four annual Exiges trackdays. However this was my first out on track so sorry if I held anyone up. Will try and be quicker next time.

Thanks to Uncle P & Scotty for the pax laps and showing me how it should be done.

Will badger the other half to get the photo’s uploaded.

Cheers

Yvonne

Hi folks. Really enjoyed Friday. Great to meet up with people again, old faces and new. Especially those that had braved the journey from the home land.
Definitely one of the best track days I’ve done. The others at the top of the list were also exiges days. Looking forward to the next one

Glad those I took out enjoyed their PAX laps. I’ll try and put up some of the video footage.

Cheers
Will

Exactly, that’s why you need to make a start asap Trance had a great time, & learned a lot - I’m sure he’ll be bending your ear too!

Hi guys,

It was great to catch up with you all again (As always) although I’ve popped along twice this year and I dont want to over do it !

Cheers Steve for the super supercharged passenger ride but will you keep the noise down a bit next time

and Ian for the just as brilliant laps although your dash lights did resemble a disco at times Hope you get the alternator sorted though mate.

And Sean it great to meet another fellow Brummie - I’ll look forward to the ride of my life next time

Cheers, Paul

I’ve got my old ones in the shed if you are desperate for a replacement?

Glad you got home safely, Ben - hope Ian did in particular, & everyone too.

I took a detour to get Ian within ten miles of home with him close behind me with his only his sidelights on (his alternator was on its way out)…so I’m pretty certain he got home safe.

Boy that car is a bitch to push, just got home!
