The cars looks superb. Any vids yet???
Thanks very much mate, its appreciated!:D Was hoping to get the vids today off my mate but he forgot his Go-Pro so will have to wait for a bit. On a plus side, just back from having the car checked over and fluids changed and all is looking good. Could tell the track is anti-clockwise as the OS tyres are hammered compared to the NS! Will be getting Assy 2's all round next time.

I agree about the Aysers excellent Tyres. How many miles do you get out of them? I've only managed somewhere between 5-6000 miles on the fronts.

Tbh mate this is the first set I've had of them. Only had them on since last month and they were holding up well. I've given them a kicking at Blyton tho and its defo taken a few thousand miles off them. I've even managed to wear the writing off the side of the front OS one due to serious cornering speeds!;) Knew I was pushing hard but just didn't realise how hard!:D

I'm guessing you've got the bug again!?:D

What's under the bonnet of that white car in the last vid (Ford Puma I think)? Seems to be rather quick...:D

It's a mk1 focus rs, running approx 380bhp.

According to sitech it was the quickest car there! :)

Allen, can you remember that black sti? On full slicks etc? Can't recall seeing it on the track?

Aye the Scooby was a weapon as well - somewhere above 500bhp. Am sure the Puma struggled with it. The Puma had four wheel drive too. Think the Green Focus in that clip above had the most power at that night though - seem to remember someone say it was closer to 600bhp than 500bhp. May well be wrong though. It was the quickest Focus there.

Mate, it was epic. I loved every minute of it!:) Just wait till next track season mate as the weather is a bit hit and miss now, will hopefully be in a better place by then and can do loads of them!;)

Hey mate, glad you like the pics. I'm still having to wait on my mate for the video's as he's away to Thailand for the next 2 weeks then I'm off to the Dominican for the following 2! Bit gutted as I haven't really got to watch any yet!:( I will get them eventually tho which will undoubtedly make me excited all over again!;)

With regards to the bushes mate, the car felt really stable, solid and composed even right on the limit. For a car that comes with such numb handling as standard I was really surprised and happy! The B16's and other bits and bobs obviously helped a lot too!;)

Was under my car yesterday so had a check of the WALK after hearing of 4 peoples failing now and the bushes in that look fine so I'm happy!

Saw a vid clip of you mate on Facebook, you were in front of an A3. You were easily pulling away from it, looked good.

Great days out Trackdays aren't they. It's quite a bug.
