I think we're all trying that Shim.

I take your point Shim and it's correct. However, I have absolutely no issue with letting quicker cars past. In fact I do it as soon as possible and in the safest, most deliberate way I can. Pulling well out of the way and not flooring the throttle just to make a point for ego reasons. I like to have plenty of space around me to push the car. So for that reason I'll not tuck in and try to follow an obviously quicker car.

I think less and less people are doing the same and so you find yourself minding your own business, enjoying a good blast on track and several muppets on your tail over the day proceeding to over drive their cars, running wide, spinning, out braking themselves.

I'll get a lift back from a mate in April once she's over there and then commute in my daily Dieseasal from then on or fly out, out of Standstead that's just 20 minutes down the road from me

That's a lot of Ring laps going once a month!! Even I'd miss the car too much leaving it in another country though! lol

My closest call ever was as car number 3 in that 4 CSL car train when we stumbled accross that VW van 'bumbling' along the track just after Pflanzgarten whilst we were still doing about 100mph... Almost had a little poopy stain in my pants after that episode!

Bad things on track will always happen - the trick is having some luck & avoiding it all!

I do enjoy the car trains with people I know and trust. Shimmy, please note that's CAR TRAIN not MAN TRAIN.
At the Ring we've had plenty of fun lapping with 3 or 4 of us. I seem to miss out on the UK TD one's. You'll have to find me when you all go out together Rob.

Nothings written in stone for me just yet! and i have to admit i still get a buzz out of driving the CSL.

Perhaps i need to do a couple of TD's and get this bloody GT2 fixation out of my head lol

Now that's the most sensible thing you've said all week

You've got to admit a certain amount of satisfaction when a GT3 or RS has to indicate and move right to let your CSL pass. I always think, glad I kept £30k+ in the pocket when I've been tempted by one.

Oi, I may have sold it but I'm still around guys. I enjoy spending time on the forum anyway, and was never a prolific poster anyway. It's still be best car I have ever owned.

On the flip side how would you feel if you spent another 30k on top of a CSL on something like a GT2/3 and a CSL passed you on a trackday!
