Bloody typical that one of the things stopping me attending - A day on the town with the lads today - was cancelled last night rage

Hopefully the thing I am doing on Sunday (Meeting an old friend at the Thorney classic show) goes through or I will be proper miffed.

Try this slideshow not many pics of Coupes or Coupe people I'm afraid, and no track action shots either but quite a few other interesting cars! Hoping to upload a video of the first wash-out track session, but battery was dead by the time of the second session grr but maybe I'll get some phone footage uploaded

Hands down one of the best events I have been to in a long time. The show was really well organised. The track time was cheep and sensibly spaced and formatted. The weather...we brought the English weather with us!
Thanks to every one, especialy rene and mirjam for hosting and the amazing hamper!

Viva Italia was awesome, Rene, Mirjam, Rico and all the other Dutch owners made us feel very welcome to our first Viva. The circuit which is predominantly a motorcycle track is still great fun to drive cars on and technically challenging to hook it all up correctly.
The first session saw biblical rain, and me popping a boost pipe one lap from the end rolleyes so we took advantage of our parking spot and grabbed some pictures which will follow laugh

Morning meet and convey to the circuit.

Super car Sunday shared the same day so lots of very expensive vehicles on show behind barriers and quite a few of the Gumball crowd. The circuit line up in the afternoon was very impressive but I was more touched by the the Grand stands erupting in cheer and applause when they announced MaxV had one the F1, a memorable moment for sure.

Jake, Klaas and Lum.

Afternoon session graced us with dry sunny weather, and with my pipe issue from the morning repaired we were hot on circuit to lean the lines and get some laps under the belt. All went well and our Coupés certainly showed we're not shy to have a go and fly the Club flag smile

In all a fantastic venue to attend if you've never been before, it's really well organised by Rene bow and I know I'll be pencilling it in my diary for next year thumb

....... and after all this excitement and adrenalin what better place to unwind and rest then visit Amsterdam on the way back smile
