allmost certainly out of this now.
reasons:
general lack of prep
trailer frozen to the ground in a farm yard
weather forcast
lack of enthusiasm
already close to nervous breakdown over xmas crap
a case of the squirts this morning being the rather unpleasantly coloured icing on the cake.
will decide for certain after lunchtime.
almost worth losing £120 to buy myself a day off.
never thought I would want a list but now find myself needing one just to remind me: Clio V6 230, 5 gt turbo, 5 Gordini turbo, Megane RS 300 Trophy.

Not a problem and understandable, my wife had it yesterday and no joke. Plenty of things I wanted to do on the car didn't get done but that's too bad, I'll have to see how it goes as is.

Very wet and slippery at Brands today, if you were driving an Alpine anyway. All the same it was great to get out on the track to see how my car would go. Very pleased with it but badly need to address the lack of rear grip which I think was down to me not letting some air out of the tyres however it did teach me a little about how the car behaves and what I need to address before the next one. Didn't miss a beat all day even in the heavy traffic to and from the track. Thanks to Stephen, Tony, John and Mark for turning up for a chat and making the miserable weather bearable:-)
I'll post up some pics when I'm back in the office.

Nearly as slippery in the Kentagon Cafe and a wet and busy journey home.
