@ V your not to far away at all about 1hr 30mins ... i think a meet in the future would be lovely
Are you into track days then V? me and Dh used to have a track car we did donnington park
DH is a biker and he races a kawasaki zx10r (although he hasn't raced the past two seasons through lack of funds and sponsorship) so went around the country with him doing that for about 4years! It was good fun and back in 2003 at the tender age of 18, I was a brolly girl for the kawasaki british superbike team (my claim to fame) it was a great experience and getting paid £150 a day to smile and enjoy the food and drink in the hospitality tent was a great bonus!! not to mention all the celebs that were there too!! (see my fb for pics )
He actually brought his beloved bike into our conservatory tonight, he didn't want it to get cold! lol.
So dis you go on the track too? Donny's great isn't it! Got loads of stories and pics and x-rays!! lol DH has metal plates in 2 of his 4 limbs!! lol
Jammy sod being a brolly girl!! how did you getto be one of those?
Awww men and their boys toys.. My Dh is into his cars especially Ford RS Cosworths...
Yes i went on track with him we had a escort RS2000 (added some pics)and we had loads of fun in it... his track days were always in bloody winter though so it was freezing at donny!!
We sold the track car to help fund our big day, so we havent done one in a while... and then any spare cash we had went to fund 'project baby'

hey cool!! That explains you name (well the RS2K park)
Yer race circuits are the worse places to be in the winter, there's hardly any shelter and they're sooooo cold, especially when it's windy!!
How did I get into it? Well my DH is a kawasaki man so naturally we were supporting the kawasaki team. We went to watch the racing at Oulton Park and between races we went into the pit lane and I saw the rider I'd been supporting and wanted his autograph, but I was too shy to go and ask for it, so DH went. The next thing, the rider (Glenn Richards), DH and his PR man were chatting and looking over at me. DH flagged me over and very reluctantly I made my way over to them.....then his PR man said "one of our agency girls hasn't turned up today, would you like to be Glenn's Grid Girl?" I just stood there in shock and DH was like "yer she'll do it, she'll do it!!" So I did, and at the end of the day, he asked me if I'd do it all season which I did, then they asked me to do it the following season too but DH started his racing and his race dates coincided with the BSB races, so I didn't. But it was an amazing experience. When I can tell the world who I am, I'll put on some pics xx
