    "The highlight of the day has to be where the infamous Maurice Reeves (he of howfast com) suddenly went past me out of the blue. I saw his son here a few weeks ago giving an R500 a very hard time and when this black Golf appeared in my rearview mirror around Druids I had a pretty good idea who it was. Trying to keep up was great fun and again, helped me push the boat out a bit and learn some more about where on the circuit I was holding myself back. Maurice told me he runs a 55 here and to be honest looking at the movies i'd say thats well conservative. His rear inside wheel is off the ground of most of the lap !, he carries massive speed through bends and straight line acceleration is nothing short of sensational.. easily showing the SLR a clean pair of heels. The way it shifts out of a bend on its Avon slicks would give an R500 a hard time".

    I love that vid! Makes me glad I can't seem to give my Mk1 away[:D] . At least then I've got a glimmer of a chance of being on the same track as the Reeves' cars again.

    I say again, as the very first ever trackday I did at Brands, testing my red Mk1 before the stock hatch season, I had the pleasure of having that very same Reeves Mk2 come flying up my ass from nowhere:o . Me and my dad had a good chat with him afterwards, as it's hard to not notice this Mk2 Golf destroying all manner of exotica. We watched him do a few laps from the pitwall and just couldn't stop laughing at the audacity of this thing!!

    Bump, hope the mk1 is as quick (if not quicker).
