Car looks great, love the colour.

Did a RWYB at Santa Pod good laugh, my derv did 17.5 and 82mph.

Only thing I found hard was finding the entrance, lucky the sat nav found it for me, dont know if it was just me but it was not sign posted like I thought it would be.

Anything, to be honest, ending up going down a gravel track, as someone said,"you go down a long gravel track", only to find a locked wooden gate.

Came out and turned right, down another gravel track to a ticket stall, with the most bored looking girl in the world.

Almost like they dont wont customers, all most strange.

Ive been told Sat Navs are unreliable to Santa pod...

When you get there you register and they give you a number and a wrist strap, to let you on the strip. ?10 if I remember.

Then its just a matter of lineing up in pairs, until you get called up to the lights, have to pull forward a bit so you are in the timeing area. Lights run down to green, and go, or with my efforts spin, spin, spin.

Blast down the track, take a left and join on the rear of the twin lane of cars to have another go. Go back to the register office for the print out, all very easy.

I had snow on the day so they closed the strip, about an hour later they opened it up, most of the others had gone home, so we had a more or less continuous goes without the long delays.

It does get you, as you think, the next one will be better, more/less power, change up there. I only stopped when the clutch started to smell a bit.

I had a little watch of the video guide on Santa Pods website

I was at the lights on a 50mph stretch near me and was practicing my starts today lol

Just a matter of driving around, but I've been to Brands, Silverstone and a few others, all sign posted so you cant miss them.

Santa Pod is set in a woody area, bit like our New Forest and it was almost like the neighbours didnt want you to find it!!!!

As long as you know its a bit of a pig to find you will be OK, its only because I drove up from Bournemouth I didnt turn round and come home.

My Tomtom got me to the area and without that I dont know if I would still be driving around trying to find it. I got there about 11.30 thought there would be plenty of cars to follow. No, didnt see another car till I was in the site.

Have a good time, I was up alongside Skyliners, Type R's, etc. but for me it was just for the fun of seeing what my almost standard derv would do.

Felt a bit posey leaving the white numbers on the rear screen on the way home.
