    Some of that is cringeworthy mate, but good videos. Car sounds lovely.

    *edit* What the **** are those sun glasses?!?!

    Does make me want to go to the ring
    Mattieu flew in 007 stlye and me and greg picked him up from the airport, we told him the 2 litre wasn't fixed in time and Greg was in his mum's 5 door automatic corsa lol

    Cue five minutes of us standing NEXT to greg's car while matty wandered past us looking for a brown corsa - it was class

    Then Greg told him the car wouldn't boost past 2psi as it hadn't been mapped properly, and held off until we got to those tunnels (which was about a half hour drive) before telling matty to stick his head out of the window before letting rip with the external wastegate

    It was LOUD, seriously loud.

    Nice

    The ring is like nothing else on earth, you should go.

    Lol, that kid is proper weird sometimes.

    Mac, I would go if money allowed. But if I'm honest, every time I speak to people about it (mainly Yoz!) I just think that at a cost of £1k circa, I could go snowboarding - which I am early next year.

    As I say, I've no doubt it's something I'd do in the future, but unless I came into some money, or really got hassled by Yoz, I'll probably not do it until I'm older.

    Speaking of which, I'm considering doing Donington in mid-late October if you fancy it. I've already told Greg who's looking into whether the tro will be done by then. Bit of a let down in comparison but it's a cheap track day and a good track. I'll go anyway in all likelihood but if you fancied a run against your predecessor ..

    How much did it cost you guys to do the ring?

    I would imagine it was less than £1k. Nearer £500 perhaps?

    Its deffo on the cards for me.

    Petrol to Dover - 1 tank @ £40
    Ferry - £60

    Hotel - £20 a night for 6 night s - £120
    Food - £15 a day for 6 days - £90
    Beer - £10 a day for 6 days - £60
    Lap Tickets - 23 laps at £11 a lap - £253
    Petrol for the laps - 2 tanks @ £80
    Petrol back to the ferry - 1 tank @ £40
    Petrol home - 1 tank @ £40

    Travel insurance - £20

    Would cost you less if you spent less time there and was a little bit less obsessed than I on track

    Would I do it all again tomorrow?

    Thats not too bad. I'd be happy with that, I don't think I'd do 23 laps on my first trip though.

    I'm sure you can cut a few costs down on that too.

    Roll on next September.
