    Well, lost my Buxton virginity today. Although not driving, I had a few good passenger rides and got a good feel for the place. Love the atmosphere and the attitudes, quality train too. Really fun looking track, I'd love to have a go in a beater one day. Will definately be around for more once it gets warmer out - that place really does have its own weather system!

    Was a good day, shame the weather couldn't decide what it was doing, but fun non-the-less.

    Andy_f, your JZX is lovely. :)

    Really shitty quality vid (didn't realise HOW bad until I just watched it back on the laptop) of the team comp drift train;

    As i said Andy, S15 is lush :) One day i'll get one heh!

    Great day, loved the train, more of that! Worked all week to get my car sorted only to fall at the last hurdle as the brakes seem to have stopped working properly for some reason. Next time eh?!

    Yeah, I was on track at the time. Came round the corner to find a Bimmer trying to climb the tyres, certainly interesting...


    Cheers for letting us finish that session BTW guys, I know in a lot of cases we'dve been pulled off track while you recovered it, and that would have been game over, so much appreciate letting us finish it off after. :)


    Just out of curiosity, how does Rich Grindrod manage to attach himself to the car in front, and just adapt to match their pace, regardless of how fast/slow they go, and still look as though it's his normal pace? Guy's unreal!

    want to thank everyone for a mint day.

    was driving the orange steam train s13 lol with my mate. loved it for my first ever time defo going to be coming again. have some turbo and breathing issues to sort out first tho lol.

    lack of experience, confidence and rushing car to gether made it a short day but hopefully next time will grow some balls and try harder lol.

    hats off to you guys that make it look easy iv found out today its not as i thought : ) some brilliant drifting

    Amazing weekend! Saturday was so nuts as one minuet it's sunny, then it started to hailstone haha! Sunday me and Luke were abit worried about the anticlockwise track as we hadn't done it that way very often but we gradually got used to it...after about 10 near misses :wack: cannot wait till next month now!
