Withdrawl symptoms...
I was just buying lunch at the Marks & Sparks on Teddington high street when I heard the unmistakable sound of a well-tuned, unmuffled straight-six. I was suddenly acutely aware just how long its been since I was at the racetrack!!! Now I'm suffering from serious withdrawl symptoms...

a knackered 5 series probably
all one can afford after lunch at M&S ! I have to say I'm not suffering huge race withdrawl symptoms at the moment, I'm more interested in a bit of car developement and testing for a few months . . .and its cheaper! Last edited by zefarelly; 8 Mar 2007 at 14:51. |

I didn't get a look at it - by the time I snapped my head round it was gone. Although it didn't have that 'boy racer with a tin can sound'. I immediately thought E-type but I can't be sure! |

Right. Not suffering anymore. Went down to Brands for press day and Richard Meins gave me a few demo laps riding in the passenger seat of his GT40!!!!

did you do the GP or Indy circuit? I have to say that if money were no object I thin I would have a GT40 as well - they are awesome to look at and I am told to drive as well - as days out of the office go it sounds a good one! Now as someone connected to Autosport can you tell me when I am going to get my free Sparco kitbag for signing up a few weeks ago?!

As for your kitbag, I'll put in a word... Just out of interest, what sort of stuff do you race? I'm planning to spectate at a few Masters/Top Hat events this year, and have a possible couple of drives in Oldies but Goldies. |

I should also be at Castle Combe, I race historic pre 66 in the main. My own car is a sports racer (Merlyn Mk6a) which I will be running in the Autosport 3 Hour race at Snetterton with HSCC as well as some other HSCC rounds and the Masters SRM series and I will be joining a fellow ten tenther in his Lotus Cortina and hopefully Corvette in the other Masters series. The main UK rounds to see I think will be Easter CC, Donington May Masters, Brands Super Prix and Silverstone Classic (leaving out the obvious Goodwood!)
I would have been with you - why go and get scared witless by a pro driver whose brief is to do exactly that when you can go and experience something really special! |
