Here we go, first track session footage. Video camera corrupted the file, so managed to repair most of it, but the sound does start to get out of sync, then stop altogether. Keep an eye out for Sedicivavole spinning smile

Got back in at around midnight last night, what a wonderful weekend!
I need to thank Dan and jodie for putting up with me on the way down, John for the run down also in the lovely r32, Reubin and Neil for the van, and running me back up all the way to sunny shropshire and Gillian for her lovely cooking smile Its been my first "coupe" meet in a good long time as I was made to feel very welcome.

Pete, thanks for sorting this all out, the time and effort invested must have been massive so thanks very much.

I need to get some work in now but I just wanted to express my thanks for a great weekend away to every one, joe, per, simon, and every one else you made the weekend

What can you say it was a fantastic weekend as it usually is.

All round an excellent few days off. Good laughs and some great track time as you always get at SPA. Some lads have work to do before next year! The weather really came through for us.

Good to catchup with our European friends and some of the older members I have not seen for a while and meet a few new ones. Gimmo and Alesi great to see you again, Per fantastic effort to get down to SPA. Good to finally meet you.

A really good atmosphere with a really friendly helpful attitude. All mucking in to get bits done.

Big thanks to Pete for organising this it was very memorable.

I cannot recommend to people enough who haven't come along how good it is smile

You *and* Lashes? Damn, you're both in range for beer! You'll be going to Brooklands in a fortnight?

They do get a bit light at the back around that corner if you're trying hard, don't they?


Indeed, I went first on the last lap on Saturday. I pushed it to the line and she stepped away.

An awesome long weekend... Great to meet up with everyone again and some new faces. Lovely weather, food and conversation! Fingers crossed it looks like it may happen again next year cool

Special thanks to Dan and Jodie for sharing the chalet, all the other campers for the 'conversations', Gill for the lovely dinner and Alexis for the ride out. What a monster.


Triplewax Waterless Wash & Shine

Verdict

A Super price is not the only thing going for this big pack product from CarPlan’s Triplewax. The new-for-2011 cleaner also goes on well in a fine spray which is close to a mist, and the pack claims 1,000ml is good for up to 10,000 plates. It struggled a bit in the cleaning test with our enforced lack of wiping, but for those on a tight budget who don’t mind a little extra effort, this is a good option. Guaranteed to kill those unwanted guests.

I had a fantastic weekend as expected and need to thank everyone involved especially Pete.

Started slightly eventfully as we missed the ferry! Long story but had a call from Hovedan with laughter as they waved from the ferry!

Thanks to Mike and joe for a run out in their cars also as i was car less.
Nice to see new faces there and see some old ones.
Huge amount of fun at the camp-site especially with Nick the Greek, the potato man (neil) and mr cheese sweats to name a few.
A very late night nature walk and a ridiculous amount of mosquito bites also made interesting talking points.

I have eaten fair more chips and cakes i wont care to remember.

Blue Peter(Neils coupe) performed fantastic with minor issues, leaking expansion cap and lost some pas fluid.


I have included some pictures for everyone to see here

Alexis, your car is mental after 4,500rpm laugh though I was forced to notice on one or two occasions you were not always respectful of the track limits.

Nick, a pint next time we meet. Good bit of double-spin in true barnacle style there.

Thanks. It will be because I place the microphone by the exhaust, otherwise all you hear is stuff rattling around in the car hehe

Nismo didn't get lost, he was waiting for me, so I could follow his lines

Forgive my stupid question but where is the close-up photo taken from showing an uphill gradient? It's too tight a bend for Eau Rouge.

I think it is Eau Rouge Simon, just foreshortening making the bend look tighter.
