    Re: The Fast Car Festival Donington

    First year of the event and lets say the organization on the show's part needed a lot to be desired, only 1 strat down for today.
    Skelly as you know has gbox issues so could not attend, and a late minute cancellation left us with just Steves Car.

    Hi Ken

    I knew that Silverstone was the main event, just expected to see more at Donny after the thread on here. Either way, good to see one car there. It's the first time the other half or my son have seen one up colse. Her comment - it's small isn't it?'

    Maybe Silverstone next year....

    Cheers

    At this point in time there are only 4 LB's which are registered on the road in the UK, All the earlier cars which were built all got sold on overseas. Of the 4 in the UK, Rob (Ironman) was not available last week, one isn't privately owned so it is unlikely to be seen at a club event, which only leaves the Lancia England & Zenith cars. I had intended to run the Albarella car down to Donington on Sunday but had other commitments.

    I guess that explains it Craig. That'll change in the next 12 months as more cars get finished so perhaps we'll see a few there next year?

    I was at Carfest North at the weekend which had changed its date from previous years. Hopefully it will not clash next year. Slowly sideways were on track with the 037... awesome.

    I was that lonely strat, I parked up Sunday morning at about 8 no supercars there then. Went for a walk around and about 9 call on Tanoy, can owner of strat move car into the supercar paddock," into". Fame at last! I did think it a bit mean to ask people to leave the area but not everybody can refrain from running there paws down the sleek lines. You can crawl all over me strat but it ain't 1/2 a mil quids worth. Went out on track session past a few got black flagged naughty boy. Came back in smelling a bit hot, slow progress back to the paddock thro all the adoring fans! well lots of people in way then steam, quick into paddock switch off. Open back let cool down, then crowning glory! very nice man says best sounding thing on the track better than any of the supercars. Well I couldn't get me elmet orf for at least an hour. As pointed out organisation needs to be improved Silerstone has it, but a parade lap isn't a patch on being able to push all the way round. Thanks to Ian and Jane lovely to see you again. Right sort out next jaunt looks like Curbourgh. Cheers Steve dag
