I?ve sprayed the dent in the n/s wing now, but the paint ran as I used the wrong type of roller

Mike

M25 junction 27. Not far from me at all only 30mins at a guess.
no idea what the traffic will be like at that time though

Sorry m8 , the car was sold as a non running car , and yes, the old garage leaked a bit, but not the new oneWell I won't be driving tomorrow, fitted the carbs off of FasterFords old Mexico and my car runs like a 3 legged donkey I fitted new service kits, diaphragms etc, cleaned out the sh1t, scraped the rust and limescale from them (Mark your garage must be really damp)
That's alright Mark, I was expecting to rebuild the carbs, didn't think the jetting would be so far out though, what sort of spec was yer old engine?
Im going with a mate aswell. See you there!!
Mike
What a pain in the butt trying to get in to this place,that bloke on the gate was a right messer,no spectators. What a load of rubbish,i had to walk miles to get in through a gap in the fench lol. Other than that it wasnt bad and bumped into a few guys from this site. paul (bricktop) mark (2quick4u) and wyn (900ss) nice car by the way mate,looks a right laugh out on the track
Cheers
I just ignored the guy at the gate and drove in
I had a good day, was only there a few hours but got a ride in Wyns escort and a red sierra (forgot your name, sorry). Thanks to you two for that, was a good laugh. Wyn, you're a nutter
I met a few more people, but I missed 2quick4u and Bricktop , maybe next time.
Did the day carry on after the Health & Safety people stopped it? I left after that.
Steve
yes i could nt get in either, something to do with safety, guy also said it could be the last one.
does look fun thou.
cheers Ian
Nice to meet you Kev, yes it was a pain getting in , I saw you leaving Steve and waved, didn't get a chance to say hello though.
Yes the event restarted after the health and safety bods had their winge, the problem is they don't have liability cover for spectators in that area, however people will still be able to come along if they are with those who are driving, so in future if anyone wants passenger rides, or to spectate we will need to have a more organised assault on the front gate, all we need to do is make sure that we say we are with someone else as an additional driver sharing the car, or as a assistant with the car or marshalling.
The end result is the days will get a bit stricter, and better organised and we will find ways to keep doing it.
Some people have commented before the day didn't seem that well organised, but previously everyone relied on each others common sense to avoid any problems, for those driving they generally kept thereselves "in check" and from a personal point of view I think most are mature enough not to need to be lead around like primary schoolkids.
Unfortunately there are always a few who do need to be told exactly what to do and when, so the event will have to be run a bit stricter.
Part of the problems we have had with the complaints are due to people who have to slide around the roundabout outside the security hut, or rag around doing donuts after the event finishes, or drive like prats round the perimeter road, or out of the gates,
they just fuck it up for everyone else, if you want to do it, join in on the track or piss off somewhere else.
Rant over
I have to give a massive thanks to Wyn (900ss) for letting me have a few go's in his Escort I really enjoyed it, car is the nuts m8 just needs a quickrack and the ball joints doing and it will be spot on.
2quick4u - sorry I missed you, was you either standing next to Wyn, or do you look like him? Cos I thought it was him that waved at me, thats why I just waved back and carried on.
LOL I look like the picture on the left of this post
I was wearing a bright yellow Cosworth coat, I arrived in a black BMW 535i and parked near Wyn
Lol you definately dont look alike mate!LOL I look like the picture on the left of this post
