Damn right I need more bhp, my top speed is about 95mph, but it was still damn good fun. Thought it went okay for a 44 year old car with a 1600 x-flow. Would be up for the next one for sure, though maybe with a bigger engine by then, or a different car Good to meet the other RR'ers too (my mate Petes camera-phone pics):

Wow, FANTASTIC day is all I can say. ;D Many thanks to BC for the invite, AND for the drive in the Monza. Its an immense car! I was a bit scared by the prospect of driving it, knowing all the work that had gone into it..... BC's answer? "I built it to be thrashed so go for it!" or words to that effect! Legend Also many thanks for the guidance on fast lines, I do enjoy both ways of going round corners Mr "Sideways isnt my thing.... Honest!" BC And also thanks for getting my one decent bit of sideways that I did all day on camera and in such making me look far more skilled than I really am! I did try and behave when people were behind me, got really angry with myself when I didnt see that Honda after a spin TBH it was an ace venue, and I reckon if the organisers held a dedicated drift day there, due to the nature of the speed and space, they'd have it sold out. Theres virtually no high speed practise in the UK, and there was plenty of space there for 3rd gear dori, if Id been brave or skilled enough! My other driver was brave enough but ran out of talent unfortunately. Aux.... I was the chap who ran up and told you you were leaking fuel, at least I guess that was you! Glad you had fun. So thanks to BC, the organisers for a pretty damn well run day, and all the drivers as I didnt see anyone misbehaving.

The seal around the filler cap wasnt doing its job and the neck is quite shallow, so what with a full tank of dirty LRP sloshing around it was a bit of a problem. Managed to sort it out temporarily with electrical tape. And thanks from me and Pete again BC
