Well the day at Milbrook in the GTN was fun. Apart from me Rolls Royce had a few Cullinan's running around, some all matt, some zebra'd out and a number of autonomous vehicles wandering around.
Car went really well and loved the three linked loop circuits up and down the hills. Also had the skid area booked for an hour and spent a good amount of time pushing the car harder in tight turn to force the front and the rear to break and learn best ways to keep it under control. I was surprised at how well the semi-slicks worked on the wet and greasy surface and also how handy the clutch can be when it goes too far to get back! :-)
Sounds like a great day, did you get any action shots?

Photography not allowed at Milbrook (except perhaps with special licence when closed to other parties) as too many prototypes and special vehicles being tested most of the time.

Took the opportunity to enjoy the sun today, only some local running about but always a pleasure.
I get an enormous amount of satisfaction from taking off at the lights, where the A33 meets the A36, using all the throttle possible. It is straight, slightly up hill and in Sport mode 80 is reached very quickly. It isn't the speed, it is the bellow from a naturally aspirated V8 working hard that excites!
That is it now for the week, rain tomorrow and through the week.

Ah, that would explain the rumble I heard in Reading - and I thought it was an approaching South Westerly!
Did you have your baseball cap on back to front?!

Back to the factory yesterday to get the windscreen washer (new pump) and aircon (leaking connector) sorted under warranty.
Met up with an old mate and was defeated by a fat boy breakfast while we waited, I must be getting old!

An exciting run out in the gales this morning.
I can report that a Plus 8, hood down, is not in any way worried by a 40 mph cross wind!
Bracing run. Wheeling the trolly across the big Tesco Carpark was difficult!
