A thoroughly enjoyable day and nice to meet some fellow car enthusiasts! Thank you for letting a small, red, French car join in the fun and also thanks to Andy for the superb organisation.

Maybe I’ll bring the 4200 next year, we’ll see!!

Great to meet you Hoyin. The Noble looked great and suited Llandow.
Andy - thank you.

Had a fantastic evening and track time.

Everyone was well behaved and everyone had a great time.

It was a very nice friendly track. I now need to change my brake fluid as I definitely boiled it.

Was good to catch up with everyone.

Just to echo all and say thanks Andy for organising. Great to see you all and I had a great time. Lovely meal, a few drinks, great people and great cars. What more do you need?!

Thanks for the ride Hoyin, a great experience in a wonderful car. Glad the nearly interesting little drama just out of Llandow was avoided!

Not sure the E55K was the best choice round Llandow. The heat soak issue on the Supercharger every 2 laps then giving half power was an issue I hadn't quite envisaged! Handling was very good and brakes were very strong up to point of overhearing.

I think a smalller/lighter more track focussed car is needed next time

Miles......did you make it home OK?

So they played up in the afternoon then ?

He made it home in the end. I got a nice message from him.

But it was interesting. I was in his car and we were doing an out lap and it went into neutral on the straights before the bus stop!

Luckily we managed to coast in and exit the track from the entry. Obviously the Marshall wasn’t too happy but they were understanding.

Eb is one o a kind. He made me laugh when he came in and said...I scared myself that time.....saw he get more and more confident as the day went on. Great to see his lovely 10 ton QP being hustled around Llandow. Looked great sounded great.

Eb was driving that QP to the max. I couldn't get passed him. He was much more confident and more gung ho that last time for sure.

The only slight drama was pulling in smartly and jamming on the anchors after we had come round a blind corner to a junction on the run out of Llandow to the motorway. All good!

Apart from that I was keeping an eye on Miles as he pulled off the motorway presumably after his gear box had another senior moment, but then got going again, only to disappear off my radar shortly after. I was glad to get a message with a pic of his car safely home later.

I crapped myself trying to follow Miles round, and decided that discretion was the better part of valor and I'd rather live to fight another day! (Nutter!) :)

Was due to get one in the afternoon but unfortunately I had to leave at 1. It was lovely inside. Tan leather, black alcantara everywhere and yellow piping...Sounds awful when you say it but it works.

I've seen that spec and you're right, Andy, it's actually lovely. Better seen than read about for sure!

I learnt quite a bit from Miles, he carried so much speed into the chicane! I was still on the brakes by the first bump , ABS doesn't like it.

Alfa John and I had a good chat about gear selection, it's a simple track but difficult to master!
