My goodness, no we didn't! :shock: Was that in the afternoon? We must of gone off for the BBQ at that point - should of come and said hello, there were lots of us there. Did you see us all go round the track, even I managed to keep Miss Pug on the track at all times - yes, that sexy ass went round the track :lol:

Next year I mean it, we're doing that in under a minute!

Was that the second hair pin? Or the last one?
I must admit I am a little surprised I kept mine on the track but that said I was going painfully slow :lol:
I wanted to do the wind down lap you know the F1 drivers do when they won, or warm up, 20 mph, windows down, waving at the audience, slow enough to show them her whole sexy curves :lol:

Looking at the .gif I thought it was that corner but then I thought about it in my mind and didn't think there was that pit over that side... In fact I didn't see that when I did my lap............... :supafrisk:

I upgraded a grey cloth interior to beige leather everything went well until the drivers seat part. After endless trips to an auto electrictian and no progress I gave up on changing the complex electrics from the power seat module. Another solution is to remove the cusion and material from the metal seat frame and put these onto your old seat structure. It was not as difficult as I expected and if a simpleton like me can do you anyone can. Another tip is to replace the black glove box as I believe the non executive models are light grey. I also used model spray to blend some of the grey trim in and you could hardly tell.
