Im going to be on a french car stand, and ive got to leave cardiff early to meet up with everyone else near the circuit for 7.30. I think the gates open at 8am. No tracktime for me though.

Im going along myself with SIDC the impreza owners club. We are meeting at Magor services just before the 7 crossing and leaving at 7:30am.
Cant see it being a problem if others want to tag along.

[Firefoot]

See you there mate

well i spent the best part of 4 hours thisafternoon cleaning OOJ inside and out, even the glass and bumpers look a bit better. Now i know this is nothing for a lot of proud car owners, but for me this is a big deal (I know it got cleaned for the last run, but Matt, Mei and Chris did most of the work!). I last officially cleaned my car March 26th 2005, so tomorrow i want appreciative comments from everyone ok!!!

We saw your car!
Didn't you see the little message that was left for you on the windscreen (written in the dust)?

[sorrento205]

yes i did, fcukers lol

i considered touching it up when i got there but i just couldnt find it in me. Was a really nice day, to quote the fast show, "Scorchio!"

[Firefoot]

Hi Ben
We couldn't resist leaving you a message Sorry we didn't catch up.

Got the sx out on track, Matt drove it and I went as passenger when I wimped out of driving it myself after seeing the track Maybe I'll start on something a bit smaller like Llandow!

Was a good day out

[mei]

We tried to stop Debb's but she was like a woman on a mission...


Matt being told that Tony would kill him if anything happened to the car...


The reaction to that stern warning...


And finally coming in...


Unfortunately zoom wasn't really up to the job of getting any track action. The exhaust flames were particularly impressive though!

I didnt spot your car while i was there but there were a lot of 205's out there wipeing the floor with most cars, i have a new respect for the 205 it has to be said.

As for a full day, im too scared to take my car on but have already been in the free adds looking for a cheap 205 so i could be up for it??!!

[nightwink]

All things considerd the SX survived matts "taking it easy" session. Need to fit an oil cooler as the gauge went to 305'c towards the end few laps. One cat gasket part blown but it was on its way out anyway, and matt has offered to refit a new one on saturday so I'll postpone his execution this time. As for position matt managed to overtake everybody except the kit cars on his session untill the oil boiled. Can't wait to see the sx on the track when shes fixed and running at full potential.
