Lots of really great pics there Clinchy, Reflex et al.....

Here are some of my videos....

This gives a brief idea of the road from the track to the motorway....from the front bumper!


This one will be of particular interest to Mark!


This one has a not so great ending!

I dropped the car off at 9M today, awaiting insurers review


and this is getting off the Chunnel behind Masher....


Till next time......

Yes, words cannot describe the windchill on the Kemmel Straight. But worth every bone numbing second.

Huge thanks to the 964 boys for making us Holden boys welcome again. Now I just need to start being nice to wifey before I broach the subject of next year's trip.

A couple of laps of the track. Not too exciting from a speed or action point of view but at least you get to see the snow at the circuit edges. And there's some views of Purds in his boxster and Farking Simon's white C4 in the second part:

Other people's videos now appearing on Youtube. Just found this one which features Rephlex a few times......including him in a spin.

Fab - that's great to have Steve, the car filming was a blue Clio; we traded places a number of times as he was slow on the straights and quick in the corners. I made a decision to re-take him on Kemmel Straight and over-cooked it into the corner. He didn't look too imrpessed as he drove past.

Actually an MX5 I think, he was a pretty even match I think, in the damp at least. Seemed to be sharing the track with him a fair amount.

You and he passed me at the little traffic jam at Eau Rouge there - as you went through I thought; ah there must be more grip than I thought, maybe I'll press on a bit, then I came across you at 90degrees in Les Combes and thought; ah, maybe not

Yes you are right that was the MX5! Same issue with speed vs. handling. Which does of course confirm that I overcooked Les Combes twice. I did have my suspicions as the Clio passed me on the inside and I was facing him after the spin.

My proper tank-slapper was after kunch when I was having my BaT instruction from Simon. I lost it after Fagnes, Freedman watched me in his rear view mirror and said it was "a 720" - certainly felt like it. Managed to keep it on the black stuff, purely because I was further through the corner than Cheeksyboy

Those are my three "moments"
