What a surprise to see Russell back with Westfield. Oh great I thought, if Russ is back, I have a shopping list, I wonder if I could order stuff today.......I have a VISA card with me (it is over there, its real name is Glen ).......disappointingly no. Russ is just back for a day, but maybe they could offer him a part time job, say only 40 hours a week and he could be back? Oh and congratulations Russ on your new born.
Then there was the other guy, Simon, well there was no doubting his driving skills. He made the car dance in front of us, very entertaining, but the best bit was his personality, he was very funny, took the pee a lot and made you forget how nervous you were. In fact with those kind of skills he would fit in very well on one of our runs out!
The day was loads of fun and very well organised, everybody worked well together, pushing to get done so we could have a bit of fun at the end, even though it was their lunch break.
First off you go round the coned course with an instructor (they drive, then you drive), then you get some laps on your own, then you swap cars and go again. After the serious stuff you get to bounce around and have some fun in the cars.
The two cars are quite different, the 1.6L Sigma is easier and the 2.0L Zetec is loads of fun, very bitey, I liked that one best.
It was well worth every penny, I will have to go again, perhaps a group of us could go? Only one complaint, give everyone a cup of tea please.
Here are my videos of the day.
