The first outing

So, we had the car, we had the bravery we had the skill (actually as it turns out, that last part not so much!), we were ready for our first trackday in the 'pig'

We decided to pop our cherry on a 4hr TrackScotland day on the 1st November 2008. The day went great with only two notable exceptions:

I had the ignominy of almost spinning the car at the end of the 4hr session. The almost part is important to note here as it was only due to my immense skill in catching the slide (ok, ok pure luck in catching the slide which i myself caused) that we never had an accident:





However by far the biggest issue of the day was the brakes. We somewhat boiled the fluid resulting in little or no braking power. This would be an issue which we would spend some money and man hours on trying to get to the bottom off throughout the winter.

The initial trackday was done on original spec tyres, the first port of call post trackday would be more track oriented rubber. All in all though we all agreed it was a splendid way to spend our free time and that the sesaon of 2009 could not come soon enough.

That as they say was that for 2008 :)
