What a day!!!
Firstly thanks to Neil and D4 for organising the event.
I have learnt a lot from attending the ‘Wet Grip Day’. I would recommend the event to anyone mainly for the understanding of driving in conditions that are unpredictable on the public roads.
I will do this event again, because when I have been caught out on the public roads previously I have managed to control the skids. However today I become conscious that I have a lot more to learn! I was also rear ending like anything and I consider this to be due to my driving ability, but when one the instructors took my car onto the crescent area, the same happened to him - I therefore now do think it must have been the car’s fault and not my ability
I am interested to read the views of others.

We had a great day too. It was good to meet everyone.
I've uploaded all my pictures here:
http://rc.giles.roadnight.name/index.cf ... egoryID=68
If you want the originals click on the image and you get bigger versions and the original full size image.
The images are in a bit of a funny order at the moment which I'll sort out tomorrow along with the full size image download.
If anyone has any images of me messing it up I'd love to see them!
