[SprintRX8]

Disappointed I can’t make this.

Is there a possibility there could be another later in the year.

[350matt]

lets see how this one goes

[Dr. FrankenRex]

Hey Matt - I should be able to make Thursday, but quick Q - how long do you see it taking?

Just seeing if I can squeeze it in around conference calls from my car lol

[ChrisHolmes]

Just so Matt knows where he stands and can let the Reception at Cosworth know.. We have

1. New Duke (Hadyn)
2. ChrisHolmes (Chris) & Jon
3 Lucky 8 Racing (Dan)
4 CLOVERLEAF159 (Azam)
5. Lemon (Stuart)
6. Dr FrankenRex (Dan)

I'm anticipating about an hour at most

one thing to be aware of is the visitors car park at the front is often full ( due to staff being lazy) so you may have to park around the back , which is the 1st turning on the right after the reception

[CLOVERLEAF159]

Thanks Matt for the update..

[Lucky 8 Racing]

Trying to convince my friend to lend me a cosworth sti for the day but he’s having none of it

Hope you feel better soon Chris, you were missed. I'd like to tell you that you didn't miss much, but that would be fibbing!

Just got home and was buzzing the whole way back. Thanks again for showing us around Matt, that was a special experience to remember. Very kind and trusting of you.

Was really good to see you all.

[DrewR3]

Good Job everyone. Great idea Matt and thank you for letting members join you today.

Unfortunately i did not finish covering until 330, so I was definately not making it. And thank you to Azam, Dan and Stu for representing the club and the offering tokens of appreciation.

Hope you all had an amazing day, which I am sure you did.

[350matt]

Glad everyone enjoyed it
its nice to do this from time to time as you are reminded whats special about the place

even I still get a buzz from listening to the engines on full chat

[ChrisHolmes]

We did Matt. It's one of those days that I know me and the other guys will remember for ever. So I can see why you after all these years still get a buzz.

Can I also say Matt was superb at answering questions we were firing at him and taking the time to explain, thought processes behind the designs and also other gems of info during his career.

Guys just to let you know I have now upgraded the photos above of Matt via the PC , showing him receiving our tokens of appreciation to him and the team at Cosworth as presented to him by Dan and Stuart.

Originals were posted in small size via tapatalk and were not up to much... My Bad...

[Lemon]

To echo the others that was a fantastic day Matt, thank you for putting this together for us.

[350matt]

Hello chaps

our social media team would like copes of the photos' you've posted
can you send them to me please

[Dr. FrankenRex]

Just a bit of an update to an old thread. The Valkyrie has just come to Gran Turismo 7 today as part of the latest round of DLC. Took it for a spin around Le Mans and they've done a great job of capturing the sound - although I feel I should really turn the volume of my sound system up to get the full effect!
