Is that the chap that lives next to the station in Bagshot? If so i was admiring his GTV the other day.

[PhilipAlfa]

No, these are the guys in Maidenhead. They do have some nice GTV's though

Glad to hear your new ride is OK now Gus and hopefully I can take a closer look in a couple of weeks!

[BerksJack]

Gutted I'm missing this, I'm at japshow in Santa pod.

Gus - what was wrong with the car?

[Turbofun]

Sorry guys im not 100% sure I can make the run on sunday, So rather pass it across to some else to take the lead...
I can help with route and doing itn. files but not sure if im going to be around on the sunday morning

Cheers Turbofun

[Waugh-terfall]

BUMP.


Because I'm faster than Gus.

[omgus]

As pointed out by Mr Waugh-terfall in another thread there is a hoon that needs to be organised here.

2 points:

1) My lack of technical ability combined with my cheap sat-nav renders me unable to .itn things.

2) My new car combined with my vague directional sense, general idiocy and my slightly erratic driving ability means i probably shouldn't be at the front anyway.

So i figure a variation of the classic but instead of turning left towards Blackbush at the end, we turn right down the A327 towards reading, hop across to Winnersh, then down towards the new estate and road into the back of the Western Industrial estate.

If anybody wants to take charge of the lead/sat-nav i reckon we might be able to get away with what would be a nice little warm up to the SS.


You might be faster, but i have given us a plan!


Git!

[Waugh-terfall]

I've got Tyre, I should have time to draw up some .itn files or whatever people need on Friday afternoon. I have no clue of the route though, if anyone has any ideas, PM me a route on Google Maps and I'll sort it from there.

[wackojacko]

As said above I shall be just driving straight there....... unless Gus really wants a lift off oversteer lesson

I'm happy to practice a bit further on my own. Surprising how much more tail happy a FWD focus is than a scooby with slightly shot rear suspension. Very nearly caught me out on the meadows roundabout over the weekend but was much easier to catch than the MR2 would have been in that situation. Lots of fun ahead i think.
