Yes. Greg was fastest on the Batak wall and won four laps of personal time with her and got taken for a quick spin :)
 
Oh wow. That must go some way to make up for the Kylie incident!! Top man Greg, and you said you weren't a racer lol
 
Thanks Greg, that's made my day! [:mad:] Lol...

1 bloody point and I have to take the photo!!! ..... Smug sod [:D][:D][:D]


See you soon mate
 
The whole thing was an experience I would strongly recommend. Many thanks to Andy for bringing it to the top of the bucket list!
 
My only quibble was the timings - we only got a couple of goes at the ice hill but spent ages in the 991's. I suspect the whole thong was running a nit behind schedule so they shortened the first session. I am tempted to go back for the 1 hour midweek session where you can choose your activities and get 1 to 1 tuition.

It's a great place to find out what happens when your car gets out of shape - I'd recommend that to everyone.

I was very impressed by the 991, although would have preferred a manual (andy got one, hope that made him feel a little better). The car felt light, responsive, small yet much more of a 4 seater than earlier models. Great noise as well. Electric steering didn't worry me at all. I found it best in sport plus auto - when I tried to change with the stick it was counterintuitive. Pull back to change down, forward for up.

The only other top tip is to find a batak board to practice on before you go [:D]
 
Thanks again for suggesting this Andy. What a great day [:)]

The kick plate and ice hill were superb. I really wanted to dislike the 991 but ended up loving it. A really impressive bit of kit.

And Ed - thanks for letting me have a go in yours. Certainly confirmed my suspicion that the front end could be a bit more pointy.
