    What a cracking afternoon.

    Bit wet, but the VX held it's own..........
    In fact I'd go as far as saying nothing past me all afternoon, except for my cool down laps.

    Had some great tussles with an Exige.

    Fantstic fun, it was wet enough to have some understeer action, but not too wet to have no grip at all.

    The journey home was scarier than the trackday....
    some serious aqua planing at 60 on the M25.

    If you've not done a trackday.... do it!
    There was a guy there in a TDi Bora... he had as much fun as everyone else.

    It's nearly time for a Coco and Zak day I think Somewhere quiet, for a swap and some photos

    Here's a video someone else posted....
    http://media.putfile.com/cocopops
    Love the sound of my exhaust as I go past...

    I really wanna hear it from outside the car, it sounds very different when you're inside the car.

    Mine is still being verified by google.

    I uploaded a low frame rate version to my .mac account (still watchable tho)....

    Here's some in car footage from my first session...
    http://web.mac.com/lee.cripps/iWeb/S...20Footage.html

    (The sliding sound before Graham Hill Bend and Surtees is my camera bag sliding on the shelf)

    Notice the standing water puddles between Paddock Hill and Druids...
