As it's going to be dry again I'll have the ACB10s on (seemed to have the desired effect yesterday) - so you're welcome to passenger me in the morning (strictly solo after lunch though).

cheers,
Mike

BaT is a paperless business - we'll be getting etickets (i.e emails with ferry/train booking references in them) today or tomorrow morning (allegedly)

WIll be happy to give you a few passenger laps in the P1 Mungo, if you can put up with my very amateurish driving.

CarZee will also have a spare passenger seat, 'cos there's no way I can sit next to him whilst he throws my pride and joy around the track

ACB10's eh? Haven't they got wussy grooves in? What you want is a nicely scrubbed set of slicks you do, oh yes! :-)



Woohoo!

Danny, looking closely, those slicks look shagged - one heat cycle too many. I hope you've got some new ones ready

Is it going to be an open pit lane or timed groups? Seems there's a lot of cars going ... unless some of the TVRs break down it's going to be busy out there. I hope it's an open pit lane, much more relaxing to go out when you see it's quieter (quieter, yeah right).

Hi you lot.

Anyone passing by Dunlop Motorsport before Friday ? Possibly require two tyres to be picked up and delivered to Folembray...

Beer and french food (frogs excluded) or alternatively AS ONE ride/drive on offer in return.

Help. Regards Felix.

Where is it? I'll be coming down A1 from Peterborough via M25 direct to ferry on Friday morning. Can probably fit a few more tyres on the rack!

What would I do without you Danny ? Tyres, gearbox oil what's next ? Although I don't quite know my way around Britain, I don't think you go anywhere near as it is in Birmingham !?

Can they deliver to a UK address? If they deliver tomorrow, or guarantee delivery Friday early morning before I set off for ferry, I can bring them

As Bookatracks site says "09:30 driving begins", which if last year is anything to go by means "09:30 wander around hotel lobby in an aimless daze & wander off in direction of Folembray"!
Why dontcha turn up for 10:00 Thom (unless you're driving?).

Right, so be careful with plod on the autoroute chaps, they have been getting very errrr conscientious in the last months.

Also beware of white Pug 306 and 406 estates...
