Hi all. First post and same question from me. The Mrs is coming down too.
Doing the 24th a.m. slot. I'll be in the Whittlebury hall (v.near the track?) the night before. I will NOT be seen propping up the bar. Oh no. Massage and an early night

I took my wife and didn’t pay anything. I didn’t even know there was a charge...she had a 3 course meal too...Oops

None of the organiser said anything. They even drove her round with the team to the different stages.

Gee...the amount of posts by various Mr Angries when they said no guests, then they change their mind but want 106 Euros...and then you just turn up with the mrs and nobody bats an eyelid!!!

Anyone else going to risk it?

yep great day out - great to meet you guys (team Kuro - could only remember a few names, Cha, Rod and Allister I think). See you at furture events.

A bit about the car - I found it quite comfortable actually, only criticism is when you are in manual mode you need to give her a bit of throttle to move. At this point the car jolts forward, this may be become a problem if you are parking

The sheer ammount of torque and braking is supreme, best car Nissan have built to date. The owners are in for a real treat come next year !

Some pics I took

i see the black car has the red interior inserts, which i'm not keen on, but haven't seen in the flesh yet.

any comments as to how they look? how bright did they appear? it's the red door handles that i dislike the most.

Jacey Boy · 6th August 2008, 10:07 AM

I was the same, but in the flesh it goes very well

The red door handles and seat inserts break up the black interior and looks really good together. The red is not bright red it's more of a dull red. It’s a very nice sports feel without going OTT.
