Lovely car and fantastic sound track, Phil. Shame the driver's a d!ck. You never make three lanes of traffic - two one way, one the other - on a single carriageway road, you're just asking to have a head-on with some A hole in a BMW doing the same thing the other way. I won't even do that with the blues'n'twos on.

Phil - Your Sammio looks right at home there. :cool:

I have fond memories of racing MZ250s around Snetterton from 1989 to 1991.
(This photo was actually taken at Cadwell Park)



Unfortunately I still thought I was on the humble MZ when I took my Triumph to Snetterton...


( Although this is another photo from Cadwell )

So at the end of the back straight l sat upright to slam the brakes on for the left hander.
Fine at around 100 odd mph on an MZ, but a really dumb idea at the thick end of 150!
My head was hit so hard my the wind blast I was practically looking behind me. :shock:

Funny how you only do some things once. :icon_wink:

Cheers, Paul. :)
