I see your foot slipped off the brake pedal just before you lost it.....lucky it was a forgiving location to get away with that! Good job negotiating that blue 147GTA too, that was clean with little room to spare.

Well driven and the car looks to be a  strong performer as well. Well done!

Some gritty driving there Mick. Reminds me of Alan Grice. Thanks for taking us on the ride. Is that a 3rd gear synchro complaint I am hearing or some extraneous noise the mic is picking up?

Cheers mate.

Yep 3rd wasn't happy! Gearbox currently out for a freshen up before the next round in November.

Thanks Vin! Yep and lucky I didn't go for the inside line. Would have taken out Simon too.

Hey Mick,

Such a pity we are location-wise so far apart. With your driving skills, I would love you to enter a racing event behind the wheel of my car. I also think you would get a kick out driving something familiar but different at the same time.  8)

Thanks mate that's quite humbling to hear that. What did you have in mind?
