@ Easy, Enma, Gnil, Spyder, Pentium, Intouch, Porker, Carrageous, Fritz - many thanks for your comments... they are very much appreciated..

Doug - I really look forward to your report on the GTS at the track..

Nick - fully agree with your summary, except that I really want to be in control of which gear I'm in without referring to the indicator in the gauges..

Joost - I'm afraid I will disappoint you by saying that I'm just a point & shoot person.  My camera is a humble Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 costing less than £200! - no special lenses and no filters.  If the results are good, I guess I just got lucky!  Perhaps the lack of exposure in bright sunshine was due to the car actually being quite dirty following the laps of "The Triangle"
