Thanks Kirk.

I took the Fulvia out today & drove many of the same roads as yesterday - even stopped at the same spot to take some pictures ...

Sadly I won't be drag racing my friend's VW in California any more, following its demise in a high-speed accident yesterday. Ron's OK, but sore...

This is me (and the car) in happier times.

Viper green R8 spotted at the weekend. Looks a bit brighter in this pic but definitely Viper!

Not sure about the wheel and caliper details, but I wouldn’t say no to having that alongside the 911.

No, very strong crosswind at top end pushed the car out of the 'groove' - Ron went sideways through the lights at 102mph, hit the Armco on the right and then spun across to hit the Armco backwards on the left...
