Blimey, it's October 2009. Where did that spring from?? It's rapidly getting colder, wetter, windier, darker and altogether gloomier outside. Summer is officially over and Autumn is in full swing, with Winter just about in earshot, waiting to interject. Which makes it a great time to kick off my 2009 track day season. In fact, here's a picture of me having fun, enjoying the great British weather.
That was taken just a few days ago on the GP circuit at Silverstone. It was wet, there were many slides, but all was good. Read more here. Only a month and a half earlier I was on the Southern circuit at Silverstone, which was brilliant fun. Read more about that one here. I might have a slight Silverstone addiction but I'm working on it. I'd like to visit some new places in 2010, perhaps in a different country. Anyway there's video from both days in the gallery so have a look.
In the meantime I've got the traditional end of year get together at Brands Hatch in December to look forward to. Although I won't be using the Caterham much before then. I discovered that I can save £130 by waiting until I'm 25 before renewing my insurance. Unfortunately that means the car will be tucked up in the garage for November, but that's not a great loss.
Anyway, I marked the end of Summer with a few fellow Caterham owners with the first official End Of Summer Blat To The Beach. It started off as a small group going for a drive on that looked like the last decent day of warm sunny weather. It turned into something much bigger though which hopefully we can repeat next year.
A few other things have happened since the last post. I've had a new bonnet on the Caterham (very long story) and feel like I've replaced my starter motor about 15 times. The iQ is going well with over 2,000 miles on the clock now. I've even had the pleasure of working on some exciting new projects at work.
So that will do for now. The next entry will be soon because I already know what I'm going to write!
