I'm sure the trip with BBS to Jerez was round that sort of money.

If you can, make sure you go for an open pit day, it was well worth it. We had more rain than expected, so those without wets lost an hour or so of track time in the morning.

... think it needs it as its a genuinely quick car as standard and feels as quick as the 911 I test drove on the road at least although on track Im sure the 911 would blitz it. I think the 335d which is not available as a cabriolet is 4 wheel drive with BMW'S x drive and I can see why to handle ...

... just surfing tarmac with the forehead area of my lid as one of my contact points (I remember actually pushing down with my head to take some pressure off my left hand because I could feel my glove disintegrating). I don't still have that helmet, & no pictures either (pre' mobile phone cameras ...

No need to wash it. Rain is on it's way. I'm sure that will be just as effective.

Fantastic. Well done him!

Your right to make sure he doesn't get a bit complacent now his offer is unconditional, however that's a real relief for you too on his future.

... So IMHO if you want a helmet that completes the image, and that is an overriding factor, then that is entirely your prerogative. However do make sure that it meets type approval.

I'm sure it was very hard Kwacky but glad it went smoothly

Brilliant. Sure they are going to be amazing tyres!

Top man. I'm sure Mrs K will have been very proud of you.

Wow you guys sound great neighbours. most of us around here say hi and that is basically as far as it goes! Although most of my neighbour's I don't really want to go any further than that to be honest for reasons that I'm sure I've probably posted up before!!

... I'm guessing you're looking at £300 for the 01s. I'll probably stick with the Z8s for now - they're doing a good job in the cold and wet and I'm sure they'll be fine in the summer. I can get the 01s next winter when hopefully they've come down in price. Do you know roughly what sort of mileage ...

Also gym tonight. Then might pop over to see some mates tonight, but I'm on call, so not sure about that. I have loads of work to do and the overtime is mightily attractive right now... Tomorrow, test riding my new, officially middle-aged bike (that's your cue, Kwacky! ...

... quicker. The only corners I consistantly had knee down were Redgate, 'hairpin' at bottom of craner, coppice and melbourne hairpin. I'm pretty sure I could drag knee on every corner if I wanted to but it's not fast. Also saves £40 a time on knee sliders

I'll be sure to remove the shot [emoji6]

Yep. Not sure if R only or S as well.

Or have the Daytona 1050

Sounds to me like he's not really sure what his priorities are any more.

It's clear there isn't enough time in a week for him to work a full time job, ride mountain bikes, race motorbikes AND be a TV personality. Something had to give.

its only 1 TT he's done the last 11 and I'm pretty sure he will return in the future , given the opportunity wouldn't we all broaden our horizons a little and try something new and/or different .

He's a personable chap and comes across very well on TV. I'm sure there's more money in that than in racing.

... with the 3 key points although I believe there should be 5: braking and body position. 1 and 2 might be new to some of you but 3 is something I'm sure everyone knows about - look where you want to go and you will go there. Skill 1 – Steering People have been jumping on two wheeled cycles for decades ...

Very sorry for your loss Kwacky. I'm sure youre find something beautiful to read
