Bedford GT Circuit 3rd Nov

[V800MJH]

Who's going? Looks like it'll be a busy day. Lots of cars listed.

I'll be there in my little Clio.

[vanman1936]

Yup - I will be there - does look busy doesnt it, at least its a big track so hardly notice it once you are out (I hope).

Be there in a CLK55.....yet to see how she will go on a track (fast and wayward I am thinking). Hope it stays dry!

[jaibk]

I'll be there with most likely the Uno Turbo, with a bunch of friends who will have a cinq, 500, a couple of bmw compacts and an M3.

It's the Unos first track outing in about a year and a half, and I'm hoping she'll hold together long enough to get me home....

[V800MJH]

Weather forecast is looking OK so far. Most sites say dry with only a few saying small showers.

Going to be seriously busy though with 80+ cars listed. No idea where I'm going to put my bits and bobs.

I'll be there in a group of a few cars (I'll be in grey 996C4S), does look quite busy, but 85 isn't the most I've seen there, so hopefully will be a good day!

[V800MJH]

Awesome. I'll come say hello. Lovely cars the 4S, but I am a bit bias

See you there.

[V800MJH]

jaibk were you at Castle Combe two months back?

[V800MJH]

Biased*

[F355spider]

Most likely coming along as nice and local to me (5 mins). White GT3

Sorry for late reply! Not me, last trackday was at bedford in tipo a few months back.

Today didn't go so well, after a couple of decent run outs, it would appear one of the shell bearing has made a bid for freedom.....it's going to be a long winter....

[V800MJH]

Was a great day wasn't it.

F355spider. I never got that passenger ride you promised I was in the silver clio parked next to you..

jaibk, how many runs did you manage before you had to retire? Were you in the little yellow car?

That was someone else with exactly tha same car, mine didnt make it onto the track. Had a few laps round in the BMW M3 safety car whilst on a tour of the circuit, looked like you all were having fun .... followed a white Jag XJS with erm ..interesting racing lines

[braddo]

I enjoyed myself in the Alfa. A great variety of machinery out there and I didn't find it too busy, although the dampness might have been keeping a few cars off the track for a while (well, there's also the fact that there were very few cars which were going to be holding up an old 130hp Alfa Hopefully I wasn't holding up too many others.)

Sorry mate that was me. I only managed one more afternoon run (albeit a long one!) and you were out when I went. Good to meet you and a passenger ride next time for sure!

PS F355Spider - that's an inspired car and colour combo ;-)

PPS Brado, that Alfa is stunning. Have you done anything to it?

the yellow Cinq was a friend, lee. I was in:


got about an hour in, both myself and a mate driving, was feeling good, and she seemed to be behaving, but:

[V800MJH]

Skittles: No problem, hopefully one day nice to meet you.

jaibk: Did you post some photos there? I can't see them if so..

[f1_dragon]

I think I gave one of your group a passenger ride in my C4S.

A good day, especially the aft once the rain had cleared.

Cheers! Some firmer front suspension, braided brake hoses, mild breathing mods and that's it. They're nicely engineered out of the factory.
