Why? what you offerin'?

Looking forward to it as ever Tim. Would be nice if this rain would disappear for a week or so. Hose pipe ban?!? In Manchester?!? Are they havin' a larf?!?

[Alfatim]

i was hoping to do a bit of this... But windybob (see above) would consider that gap as an overtaking opportunity

[Ross1988]

I'll come down and say hello, won't be driving though, will be nice to see a few people. That reminds me I owe someone a pic of there car from last Oulton track day!

Think I'm going to try a more assertive aproach next week. I think I must be far too polite....

[Jon Ison]

I'll try to keep out the way with my 150bhp.

Should be very easy to spot, slightly damaged rear end gaffa taped back on to complete preparation for wednesday.

[spandexx]

Yep, I'm going. Please be gentle, this will be my first track day. I mate with his Exige is coming too.

Which are you putting on the track? I have tracked my mates 135i at Anglesey before now.

Jon, dont try and "keep out of the way" its a social event not a race (er cough cough, windybob) enjoy the day, its the responsibility of quicker cars to be courtious and polite 'if' they overtake you. TKeep your eye on your mirrors, but not so much as it hampers you going forward!!

ps. I see cars with less than 150bhp flying round so you cant play that card!

135 (just noticed the Z is listed as a current car when it has gone). I have an instructor for the start of the day so I hopefully wont hold too many of you up.

Fantastic! Glad to hear you're having some instruction. I wish more people would feel compelled to do so..

Tim is spot on. As long as you're aware of faster cars coming up behind you, then just go out and enjoy yourself.

If you want any more help or advice on the day, or fancy a few passenger laps, come and find me................and I'll point you in the direction of someone can help
