Silverstone - The Day

[Manders Mustang]

On track I came up behind a group of four Guard cars running together at one point...

Don't think I saw another Ruby with the black wheels come to think of it!

Crazy, I'd left by about 11AM, so probably missed them, I was around taking pictures after the 9:15 star guys came in from their drive, and as the 10:15 guys were about to do their talk - hence why [MENTION=14447]Centurion07[/MENTION] got a creep picture of me (Dare I ask what the full picture was, or were you just stalking me?!)

I was in the 1015 session too - nicely timed to be just about dry at that point, with the odd greasy patch to help keep it entertaining!

Mike's the car behind the black Roush one btw.

Ah damn, if i'd have known i'd have tried getting some better photo's of it matey!

Yeah, it got really sunny towards the 9:15 and 10:15 runs, however, as i said, i'd much preferred the wet as i'm already sh1t scared of the car, even more now, granny driving engaged for the first 500 miles!

No worries - I've not really had a chance to put proper pics of it up on here yet. Picked it up in the rain, and then immediately did 450 miles over the bank holiday weekend so it's been filthy since day 1. After washing it last night that was the first time I'd seen it clean! It's absolutely covered in muck again now...

Complete bum quench moment.

What in the name of all that is holy is that about ?

Thanks for the phots - appreciate you taking time out from an exciting day to keep the rest of us in the loop. It was particularly good to see all the various colours lined up in a single shot.

Looks like a fantastic day out. I had a great day at work. Managed to get a spreadsheet sideways a couple of times and got close to slamming it in to a wall - those VLOOKUPs can be slippery sons of bitches if you don't warm up before hand. Not jealous at all. Honest. No, seriously.

As others have said, thanks for posting pics & describing the day, sounds brilliant.

Pleased to hear that the instructors were helping you all with handing / breaking points, grip wise. On track days that I've done, it's all about how fast you can go & not about the car so much.

Spot on though, glad you all got something out of it

[MENTION=18380]Aero[/MENTION] - Is this yours?

It is indeed!

The wheels were silver before my time on track! :eyebulge: :lol:

Nice [MENTION=20131]Manders Mustang[/MENTION]. Great Pics.
If my car was not so dirty I would say thats one of the best pics I have seen of it.

 

[stevec]

Does it bollocks!

I had it cleaned when I got back and spent a long time staring at it. You know how they say the camera adds 10lbs? Well in this case it makes my emblem look pissed!

Ask Manders, he saw it!

Maybe the car is pissed!
Who fitted the springs? Did they fit the fronts on the left and the rears on the right!

Great write up Manders, thanks for taking the time to do this...looks fantastic! Wish I could have been there :(

 

[Stuart0202]

Glad you guys all had a good time! Wish I could have come but It really wouldn't have been worth the 1300 mile round trip!

 

[Manders Mustang]

[MENTION=8211]stevec[/MENTION] damn you and your dirty driving through puddles! Nice meeting you albeit briefly!
[MENTION=16968]9111tiles[/MENTION] indeed, your car caught my attention from a mile away, as i was slowly doing the pictures i was itching to get closer and give it a proper look, loved it !
[MENTION=14295]Kristian87[/MENTION] Yeah would have been nice to see you there mate, hopefully the write up has caught you up with everything you missed ;). I'l see you at the Midlands meet though!!!

Sounds like you guys had a great day. A lot better than getting verbally abused and threatened by a bmw driver and then getting hailstoned on :lol:
