As title.

A good venue, plenty of run off areas, safe as houses and it'll put a big grin on your face!

We normally get a good handfull of tivs together which makes a great day.

Who's interested?

[phazed]

I'll be booking in 5 mins defo!

If the weather is fair it'll be a really good day.

Let me know if anyone wants to borrow a pair of clamp on cans?

Peter, I will take you up on the offer of your "cans" please. Ifind it very on the limit at Bedford even with my inserts in,for the noise test.

Ok Colin.

The cans are more effective than the inserts.

Just picked up my track wheels from the shotblasters and dropped them to the powder coaters.

Pick 'em up tomorrow PM and get my Triple 8s fitted.

Nothing like leaving it till the last minute!

[phazed]

Track wheels fitted, all nuts and bolts checked underneath.

Trailer checked and sorted.

Will be up there Sunday night with daughter who will be caging rides!

[phazed]

Weather looks good!

Let's hope all goes to plan..............




How many tivs have we got going?

[phazed]

As always when with our TVR buddies, a fantastic day.

Weather was brilliant, not a drop of the wet stuff all day.

I hope everyone enjoyed themselves, I certainly did, chatting and driving, driving and chatting, beats shopping or working any day

All the hard work seems to have paid off as the car performed beautifully.

The only downside noted is that the steering is a bit light at speed, (140 plus at the end of the straight as discussed with expert Alun).

All in all, fantastic apart from the bit where I got a bit exuberant overtaking four cars at once and Colin, ( good reactions) had to take a bit of evasive action to avoid me! I was lightly reprimanded...............

I have a couple of vids to put up but will have to wait for No2 son for that.

[phazed]

Err, no Colin, All my cock up action was on the black stuff!

Shame I wasn't filming then................

[phazed]

Glad you enjoyed the drive Alun, as you know, it's a work in progress...........

Mathew, nice vids, someone teach me how to upload to youtube for when my son's not here!
Methinks a little "heel and toe' to smooth those down changes would be a great help. I'll show you next time if you want.

[phazed]

Alun, I wouldn't want to walk the track it is 4.7 miles long. Brands Hatch Indy is another matter.

I will have a browse around later and see what trick days are around.

[phazed]

I will upload a small video clip with Daz as passenger tomorrow.

What about this,

Two things -
Its almost £30 cheaper for similar days booked through their own website
The noise limit is 100 dB. Ok, so only 1 dB lower than Bedford.

That is true Anthony but MSE run an open pit lane.

Also MSE run a very tight ship and are well organised. I have done dozens of TDs with them they are very good.

So what do you think?

I'll go with the flow................

[phazed]

Just a few laps with Daz as a passenger..............

Soooooooooooo, any interest in Castlecombe?

It's a great track, dare I say, "better than Bedford", more challenging and not too hard to get to.

Anyone interested?

I will start another thread.
