wicked mate - had a great day - that was one of the best roads Ive ever driven. Once we spread out a bit on the way back we got some good driving going - completely cooked my brakes! only put green stuff pads on yesterday and am now thinking I wish I had bought red instead! but then not every road is like that - that was probably harsher driving than on track - even my son said that was brilliant dad!

That bloody van blocked a good photo and some silly speed coming round that hairpin!

Good to meet you all - really liking the red R27 but have to say I think my 10 year old 106 held its own pretty well (apart from against the Polo and Astra - Turbo's really help!)

Nice pictures unlucky about the splitter

 

[Ash87]

looks like great fun, great views and roads look awesome, shame about the splitter tho

 

[RickyP]

Awesome pictures mate. Really enjoyed it, perhaps someone can delete my thread and we can make this the official one. Well here's my pictures.

 

[caymanr26]

[r8byb]

looks like a greay day, shame about the splitter, bald looking tyres

 

[RickyP]

Yeah I did enjoy and my girlfriend did. The roads were awesome and it was so cool going through the busy areas, peoples faces were awesome. We will have to arrange another for perhaps a month or two. My brakes were really smoking, my car didnt do too bad considering it's a 1.4, but overall awesome day out and nice to meet everyone.

 

[caymanr26]

yeah those tyres are a bit past it Id say lol! Think he is trying to make some slicks!

 

[caymanr26]

Yeah I was impressed with it HRH - kept catching me up quickly

 

[RickyP]

did any more turn up back in Swansea?

Yeah was a few more there. I was so tired I grabbed a Mcdonalds and eat it, then headed off home!

Looked like a great day! Some brilliant pics too, R27 and new Type-R steal the show for me Although the Polo GTi is a nice rare addition - anymore pics of that?

Love the tyre smoke in this pic
