    some pics from the Old Skool Trackday AVO weekend

    A few pics of (mainly) board members thrashing their cars then enjoying a barby and a couple of non alcoholic drinks.

    For those that went I think a good time was had by all.
    For those that didn't go you missed out on an excellent weekend.

    Nice one Mark!
    Got home at 9.30a.m. this morning, after a dodgy ferry crossing in force 7-8 gales, not good for the internals
    Car went well though, although the brakes still need some attention, perhaps tomorrow.
    Great to meet you all, and certainly a great w/e.
    Regards, Dermot.

    Duncan,

    No sorry m8 I didn't get any pics of your car on track, most of the ones I got were all in the same session while I was waiting for my car to cool down, guess you were in the pits at the same time.

    This was the state of my brake pads after the track day, these had been healthy 3500 mile pads front and rear

    Thought they were fading a bit, still sorted now with a full set of EBC "Red Stuff" pads.

    LMFAO @ Clint!!

    What a weekend!! A laugh from start to finish! One of those one offs that could never be repeated! Although I think we should definately try to!

    9.30 today Dermot! and I thought I was late home at about 5.30 yesterday!! Just enough time to get a shower and go down the pub with me dad!

    So who's booking this camp site for national day then?

    A few more pics of the campsite as we descended in to drunken chaos.

    First a group hug with Ditch in it so he can prove to the missus where he spent the weekend.


    Next a picture of the construction workers we had to call in when Kieron realised he didn't know how to erect the gazebo he "borrowed" from his dad

    I think the guy in the furry hat was their foreman


    And this guy was the foremans strange cousin who came over from his trailer park and started trying to get people to squeal like a piggy

    I had to laugh at the construction workers pics!!! We were happily on our way by then!

    Kieron, camping for National day will be easy, we go to Shadlaw which is 2 miles from Donnington Park, and has an on site pub and 3 pubs in easy walking distance

    I got only two pics of the track day,
    i spent most of the time either driving or going round the pits.
    Duncan i did get a pic of the two mk1's together.
    I'll upload in a minute.............. cause i need to brush me teeth or comb Robs hat!!!



    cheers.............Ken

    Re: some pics from the Old Skool Trackday AVO weekend

    Yep 9.30 monday morning
    It was well worth the time and trouble, as I had a great w/e.
    I got to Liverpool Docks at 5.40p.m. and as I was so early (10.30p.m. sailing) asked if it was possible for me to go for a few pints , and for security to drive the car onboard later. They said "OK" Result!

    p.s. copious Guinness + storm at sea = sick passenger.
    p.p.s. Brakes now sorted - leaking rear cylinder.

    I am alive and well, just suffering from a lack of Internet Access, as I am off work until the 24th.

    A big HELLO to all the guys and girl(s) from the Trackday/AVO weekend, I really enjoyed myself - A big thanks to Mark (2quick4u) for supplying the gas powered Barbie, and for doing the cooking, and to Ditch for all the champagne

    Good to meet everybody, I am looking forward to National day.

    Them boys sure are purdy !!!

    I also missed the track day and from what the lads said on the day it was class. I was in the V8 and reckon it would have been a hoot to thrash about with the spongy brakes it has just now!!

    By the way my old V8 won a trophy at AVO day for the "old fords never die" section. Looked class next to all the shiney cars cos I aint washed it since I got it!!

    See you all at RSND for camping and drinking then??
