I've got a little bit of you Alex on my video. I'll work it up and post it when I get a chance....it was during your '24 hrs of Spa mode while driving under the influence of carbon monoxide' so you probably didn't even see me as you went past.

Grant - watched your vid of your "off"........all seemed so innocuous leading up to it I almost couldn't believe it when it happened. Really unlucky. How you getting on with the insurance / repair etc?

Nice views of the Ardennes forest....maybe I have a calling for making nature videos instead of driving!?!?!?!

Doom was chucking that car around at will, a real pleasure to see and he certainlyy has more confidence and control than I was able to muster!

Shame, would've been good to compare artistic style

I think the moral, if there is one, is to always 'keep on it' and don't tip toe around like I was doing....it seems to be when accidents happen?

Car is at 9M awaiting insurers engineer inspection....just got my wheels back from BaT today, so will have the damagesd one independantly assessed....shame coz they're genuine cups, so hope the damaged one can be repaired.

The Hornet will buzz again, have no fear....or maybe do

I meant the views of Mark's lovely car.

....and that day wasn't the one for chucking the car around unless you had a few spare ones as a back up.

Yeah, Mark's car does look lovely.

It was a weekend to be spoilt by lots of lovely 964s

Hi all

I know some of you guys know me but most of you don't. I'm Martin and i run the 964 RS database. I've been following this thread with great interest but couldn't make the dates work for me so couldn't attend. On hearing that you'd been offered a refund for your snowy Sunday i just wondered if any of you fancied joining us at Zolder in June. 99% of the cars on track will be 964s.

The day after Zolder we are driving in convoy to the Ring for the Eifelrennen event on Sat and Sun and then on to Spa on Mon.

I don't wish to hijack this thread so if any of you are remotely interested there is an RS fest 2013 thread already on this forum. Please post your thought there.

Many thanks
Martin

Would love to go Martin but my pass is allocated to the annual Le Mans jaunt. Had to make do with your poster so I can pretend I went.

...speaking of which am I the only one that is suffering from post Spa blues, especially because we didn't get a second day this time?
