apriliadriver should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
High : racing the '69 Chev Camaro for the first time at HSCC Oulton Park Gold Cup. Wow !! after 21 yrs of racing tiny Alfas, suddenly realised 'there ain't no substitute for ...etc'; and the sound !! Starting up is always a pleasure. Also, at my last race of the Season, HSCC Silverstone Finale, finding that the Chev was quite controllable in the very slippery bits - bound to get my comeuppance sometime in 2013 !

Lows : 2-hr traffic jam on M6 in the Chev on the way to Oulton - reached my lowest weight this year, poor old clutch; then patiently trying to pass the noise test (4th time lucky) at Oulton, not sure I was going to get a race. God did not give me a long hand in patience ....
