Bring the weather with you chilled

Did you bump into Yamamoto-san in his GT100 whilst you were there?

Looking forward to meeting you at the weekend

If he was driving a White german plated S2000 that had the CR wheels on, then I saw the car around. Too busy doing laps though.

I did consider going over and say hi, but what do you say?

"Hi, I'm british, I used to have an S2000, but sold it. How are you?"

That would have been fine, he's such an approachable guy and with your experience of the S2000 you would have had lots to talk about. I know what you mean though

he's a lovely bloke, I'm sure he'd have given you a passenger too. He's very experienced on the ring, used to race it professionally

I don't hate the car at all. My brother in law has one (not that it ever comes out of the garage).

They just don't look fun on track unless your a boy racer treating the track as a road. They seem to tyre squeal their way around the entire track ( though pretty quickly i might add) getting some pretty extreme opposite lock moments in the corners that the car pulls itself out of before spinning off when the driver has gone beyond what the car can recover for him whilst leaving clouds of unburnt fuel smoke trailing behind.

Whereas the Exige is a proper trackday car.
