Just got back from Goodwood Motor Circuit for a track day with the Lancia club:) Good fun, if a little wet and we didn't get as much tiome on the track as I'd have liked as a few people went off so the closed it for a couple of times while they cleared it up.

One of the guys I met up with enroute to convoy down (never met him before) asked if I would carry a passenger round with me. Of course I said yes, then it turned out to be his 8 year old daughter!!

I was preying I didn't have an off, although he did with her in the car earlier in the day :p) I think I hit 120 on the longest stretch, which was a bit scary, then slamming on the brakes down to 60, praying we made it round the corner, and not into the tyre wall.

Bloody knackered now though

there is no off room on the track, so if it goes, its costly

Maybe he's got her in training to be another VBH?...

Don't think so, but she definately knew a lot about cars. She hates the Fiat Multipla, loves the new Mini (but definately not the Clubman verson - the rear doors a just wrong!) and knew that Turbo'd cars were better for off-road rallying than on the track :blink:
