Well there was an EPIC FAIL for me, i made it 117 out of 136 miles and my power steering/alternator pully decided to shear its bolt and come flying off with a bang :( thankfully no one was hurt and the car still runs. So so so so so gutted i got that far and didnt make it!!

But if anyone has a spare pulley id like to take it off their hands please :D

I`m red in various places too, epecially my chest area as was wearing an open collared shirt. God know how the ladies showing cleavage manage. Few of them about too :D

I did have some trouble lol. don't like that corner... well that second kink. lol. Just wanted to warm up for a few laps then i decided to go for it then i spin out. I hit the Grass at 95mph sideways. hit the bumper witch cracked in multiple places then ripped the drivers side skirt and all the inner arch out. its not too bad. Might need new skirts though as they have 4 mounts on each skirt and now i only have one left.

this is the footage from my mates go pro. i still need to edit mine as there is 13 minutes of me chatting shit. lol

I Got sunburned too, proper american football style red markings on my cheeks ;) But was an awesome day, thanks to everbody that was envolved in organising it and for the sticker, and was great to meet some of you, went last year but was made 10x better going down with you lot, was worth going ten miles down the oposite side of the motorway for, and my freshly glued livesports spoiler didnt fall off afterall ;)

Good day out. Like a pleb I came in an hour late and basically noone was on the stand lol (took a wrong exit after sorting my tyre pressure at Leigh Delamere and heading out after everyone else!) Sorry to Drongo and Kesh who ended up following me up the wrong way :lol:

Was good to catch up with the usual people and meet a few new faces, hopefully more so next time as I'll aim not to come halfway through the day lol

Shame I couldn't take the car on track, failed the bastard 100dB sound test with 101.4dB!! How the hell do the other loud cars get on track?!! <_<

If anyone has any pics of me or the car do let me know!

Roll on JF2, uni will be over in a few weeks so I can spend more time getting the car ready for show and track :)

Car looked good tho!

Thanks to the organizers (and stick2it for the club stickers!)

Awesome day! Massive thank you to every one who organised it and everyone who was there to make it awesome!

Me and Mark had a amazing day, even though it was the most tiring day of my life :lol: We left about 4ish to get back at a decent time as i had a party to attend. Managed to get back about 7ish and even had a play with GoldenVTR's Gt on the way home that things a animal :)

Was my first Japfest and ill defiantly be doing it next year just maybe not in the V as it was a horrible drive :lol:

Sorry for not really introducing myself to anyone i havent met before but i think most people knew who i was anyway. Im still off work today recovering. Felt terrible Saturday night migraines and felt sick lol. Was worth it though. Ill get my pics up later :)
