Brands Hatch 26th Nov. '09 Track Day

[mattCSLnut]

M25 and A2 were killer. I gave up at Bexley what (10 miles or so in 2 and a half hours!) and left the car at with BMsport and went to the pub instead, got a taxi home at 11pm when it had cleared.

If I knew of your most excellent traffic avoidance plans :beer: I would have joined you, although a cab fare to Cambridge would have been hard to swallow :hahaha:

[mattCSLnut]

Sorry to hear about your dodgy journey home... I decided to head to Bluewater around 8pm from Docklands for a quick bit of xmas shopping, got on to the A2 and was moving fine then BAM, traffic stopped and took me 30 mins to go one exit and turn back!! Nightmare. Sod sitting in that all the way home mate :bigcry::banghead:
But glad the day went well and sorry I could not make it in the end :thumbs:

NO worries m8. There'll be another one along soon enough, no doubt. :thumbs:
Yeah, yesterdays SE London's traffic was just murder but great November day at Brands compensated for all that :thumbs: Roll on 2010 :beer:

Hey m8. Awesome day has been had, great weather and really good to meat U :thumbs:. Over fifty laps in the CSL and she didn't miss a beat :thumbs:. Even my semi stock O.E. brakes held up exceptionally well without any fade. Having ATE Racing Blue brake fluid, Goodridge breaded brake lines and Performance Friction pads all round definitely paid off :thumbs: Who needs AP Racing anyway :whistle: :hahaha: Ducking for cover. I'm glad we checked your pads when we did :hahaha: could have been worst :whistle: I'll post more pix tomorrow as I'm totally beet (not after a great day @ Brands) but by the four hour drive back home :bigcry:. M25 Dartford crossing shut due to a BIG accident, took the A2 London bound, towards Blackwell Tunnel only to get stuck in that for hours as that got shut too, due to a semi truck on fire. The joys of driving :whistle:

[flatout]

That's a pity, maybe next time There is a promise of good weather. Cold but clear blue sky :thumbs: Grip will be in short supply :whistle:

Weather did indeed hold up, abit slippery in the morning but soon dried up.

Good to meet you Matt. Managed to load the in car footage onto my laptop, will put on dvd and mail at some point.

PS - got home with zero front brakes (metal to metal..grrr) - never mind, time to stick the AP's on for 2010 :thumbs:

Sounds like a good plan, where you off to?!

Same here :thumbs: As from the beginning of December my CSL is heading indoors, SORN and into hibernation for the cold months ahead whilst I'm getting away from the UK's cold & grey season to warmer, dryer climate :thumbs:

THANX for the offer :thumbs: but I've already booked & paid. Maybe sometime in the new year :whistle:

[mattCSLnut]

its not the ice cream but the ice that i would expect Nick

Good luck with the last day of 2009 but the CSL will be tucked up in bed for the winter
