Croft re match

Ho Ho Croft nutters

Been in touch with the Aintree team and they seem pretty sure they can give us a good day

Not driven the course yet but it's about 3 miles long and quite fast in places and plenty of Grass for me to munch.

May be able to arrange an AO meet for those who don't want to venture out

Nice one HM

But anything you do, please do make sure you get a proper videocam installed this time

Ode's the Camera man

But just got a new still cam that will do 14 mins of Video

Proper mounts might give me some decent shots on track.

Re: Croft re match

I'll have a go of that. Always wanted to do the Aintree track.
I can get a few other Alfa monkeys interested as well if you want?

Is it because you weren't educated in England that you couldn't read that bit?

Alfa aficionados do sometimes drive other vehicles as we both sadly confirm

Does that mean the Italian Car Night will be getting bigger?

and

"This is the first of just two track days for cars at Aintree for 2007, so don’t miss your chance to drive this historic Circuit, where Stirling Moss secured his first ever Grand Prix win!"
