Gearbox can be rough and notchy when cold - you just have to be sympathetic and get used to the new biting point on your clutch
Another great day at KRC Weather came good and apart from THREE reds in the first quarter of an hour it was all good.
Neily's mate popped his pax cherry and we met a noob who had just picked up his zed yesterday
Loads of different cars out - plenty of pics - here's a handful - full set on my Flickr.
(before anyone says anything I was squinting coming out the chicane not looking at the camera!)
No way!! I know that car - it was in at my detailers in August (there can only be the one in Scotland that colour and I recognise the sticker on the side) - it had just been waxed with some mega wax that came in a velvet pouch and cost some ridiculous amount of money- the colour in the metal was amazing
Go buy it for me please Vik ..... I'll settle up after Crimbo

I meant debadge the beamer Nowt against them though my Dad's had a few and the current 535D he has in a fickin' demon (but then he's 72 not 32 Chris!) is now a bad time to admit I did consider the 320D, the Z4 and M3s when I was shopping last year?
Has to be four seater?

If you were going to keep her basically until worthless then you won't be bothered if she's Cat D - let her be written off and see what they want for her and buy her back - you'll be able to source everything you need way cheaper than any insurance repairer can (from the Scottish zed graveyard )
I haven't been to the ring yet - and I'm watching this thread with great interest. However there's no way I'd go on an open public day...much better to identify an organised day such as the one Alex has highlighted and we could all aim for the same day
Book-a-track also do organised trips and seem to quite often do weekends that take in the ring and Spa all in one weekend
They can be ordered now for delivery March in the UK
Also there will eventually be an 'update pack' for current owners to get 2009/2010 GTRs up to new spec
