June last year I think, going again in June this year, all booked. It was an incredibly quiet Tourist weekend and on my third or fourth lap I had the track to myself, I think we passed 2 cars and that was it. We fell lucky, perhaps because the Truck Racing was on at the new Ring and there were massive crowds for that. The picture above I am following my friend in his McLaren. It was his 3rd visit to the Ring, my first lap and he had left half a minute before me, this is where I caught him, much to his and my surprise and proceeded to pass him and add another 20 seconds. My 2nd lap was around 9 mins, my final lap in the mid 8's so somehow I managed to find a pace but was miles off what I could have been if I knew where it went.

Awesome, when in June? I was planning to go for the 17th/18th to meet some friends there who are doing a trackday on the 19th, but I just checked the dates and it's closed on the 18th, so might see about the weekend before or after.

Travel first thing on Friday 30/6 back on Sunday 2/7. Hotel at chunnel booked for Thursday, chunnel, hotel at Ring Friday, somewhere else Saturday (beers) back Sunday.
 
Scrubs up pretty well, not too bad for 22 years old out in all winds and weathers.


A few cosmetic gremlins are starting to show through but with nearly 200k on it, that's not a surprise.

Love that, if that were my car I'd get a massive print done and put it on my wall.

Remember how I was bored of XJ's after having had them for so long, and the last car I'd be buying was another XJ?

Well....

I managed to haggle this down to £4K and just couldn't resist. It's a 2005 XJR, 100k miles, FJSH, new brakes, new tyres and looks pretty immaculate apart from a few little marks on the alloys.

Can easily get £6.5k for it here, not sure what I'm going to do with it yet :p
 
Trouble is it will cost £4K to fill it with petrol, £4K to change a brake pad...... :p

I'm happy with buying cheap cars and sticking money into savings. ;)

Hasn't let me down so fa- ... never mind
