Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. Rest in peace, your duty is done.

A chilly n weet run to work at 6.30 this morning. certainly made sure I was awake lol

I am trying to arrange the 2022 season awards dinner at a venue that does not want to bankrupt everyone. I have managed to provisionally book the Jurys Inn Hotel Hinkley Island (LE103JA) for Sat evening 28th Jan 2023. Everyone is welcome and there will be prizes and other stuff like a raffle and auction as long as we get good support and attendance. So could anyone who wants to attend please contact me asap Dinner is £35 a head and include 3 course meal and wine on the table. Rooms are available at £100 single occupancy and £115 for a double occupancy terry.everall@gmail.com

WRT the police involvement, I have been speaking to a few TDO to put an article together for Westfield World and they are very clear on the Track Day v Experience etc. As they put it TDO that are registered with the Association of Track day Organisers (ATDO) https://www.atdo.co.uk/ will have an RTA waiver/exclusion with the relevant local Police force that in effect turns the Track into a private road and hence not subject to the Highway Code or normal traffic law - hence you can drive an un-MOT'd and Taxed, insured etc vehicle. If the TDO or Circuit doesn't have an RTS exclusion (and there are plenty of them) then any accident is considered an RTI and can be investigated by the Police - however, they did say this is generally only when one or more parties are injured; if you stuff it into the Armco and walk away then most likely nothing will occur. This is further compounded if as @Blatman said one or more party has insurance and hence wants it to be investigated and recorded officially in order to validate a claim. The final point being that if the RTA waiver is not in place and the Police do visit (at any point not just post accident) then anything that is illegal on the cars COULD and I do stress tha, be actioned and fines issued. So in the case of the BMW and the Civic they may check to see if the cars were road legal or had Mods that may have affected the outcome? The TDOs I spoke to suggested always check the registration of any TDO, especially any that are one-off charity events or groups of mates booking a day as they may not have full cover.

Having driven the car last week I have decided to keep it & get out on some trackdays.

As I simply can't compete with Gary's vistas, I parked the car yesterday in the shade and passing an upstairs window couldn't help but take this photo, not often do I get to see the car from above.

A few more pics from Donnington on 26th Aug.

A very sad day; what an amazing lady. I will chose to remember her in this photo, oh to know what Philip said to make her laugh. I’m glad she was at home in Balmoral where she felt most relaxed and at peace.

Truly inspirational Majesty the Queen who will be sadly missed. She put smiles on many faces and lit up the nation. RIP

Godspeed Mam.

She was an inspiration to all of us

Thank you Mr Chairman. A very sad day indeed, but what a magnificent legacy she has left.

Thank you Dave, I concur with your sentiments.

Sorry I’m chasing the sun

Hopefully will make this one.

Thanks all for your take on things. Everything you’ve said makes sense, which is why this is a bit of a minefield. I’m going to get a bit of advice from my lawyer, then file a claim.

The WiltshireLive website, update a couple of hours ago says the injuries to the female passenger are serious but not life threatening. If that's correct then that's better news than what he had previously https://www.wiltshirelive.co.uk/news/wiltshire-news/woman-20s-suffers-serious-injuries-7547619 Footage on there shows the driver extricating himself from the incident.

Oi... Yeah been to Ryka's plenty of times back in the day. Haven't been for a few years mind. Next time I go to Le Mans I'll need a bit more room on the boat too...
