RMA 24th nov.Bedford

[peterpeter]

Anyone going?

[j14nsx]

Well there'll be Mo and me, and a few other NSXs.

I'm bringing a friend an ex TVR owner looking to get into a Porsche and start doing track days too. He might be looking for a ride in one, can I ask for one from you for him?

[peterpeter]

of course,

is that you kevin??

Mo told me about this date. Ive also got a friend bringing a vxr8 along too, which is going to be interesting.
And reg will be there in either a new c4s or a supercharged mx5...Ill be in the gt3.

[mgv8dave]

I am going along in the Mg now the engine has been run in at a wet and cold ( snow ) Nuburgring
last week.

[griffdude]

I'm going in my errr....griff

Dave, I saw your car in Steve's workshop, looks tidy!

[mgv8dave]

Yep i have to say with out Steve working his magic it would have been
in the garage at home again for a winter retirement.
i think after working on it he has a few more grey hairs now.
but i went of to the ring in it last week and it ran like a dream........ Happy Days

just booked up, If im to believe the rma website, seems they are one of the better trackday organisers. see you folks there! My first trackday.

I'd like to keep going back to the same track over and over again, so each time I'll get to learn it a little better and all it's ins and outs, and since bedford is just down the road for me, makes sense to start here

anyone know how strict they are on the 101db limits?

the cerb seems to be running great now I've got her all sorted, but im very tempted now to start lightening out the interior before the day! not sure exactly how much it would help, but i guess some?

[AlVal]

does anyone know how I might go about booking a garage there?

[BCA]

Cant be of any help with the garage Al, but I'd concentrate on upgrading the nut behind the wheel first... you'll soon spot areas for improvement on the Cerb as the day/days go on. Get some tuition and have fun.

[mgv8dave]

RMA are indead one of the best and i would be tempted to say the best.
i have done many days with them and it is a good mix of cars and pople.
give there office a call and ask Pete to save you a garage

[rs48635]

Will be there in my 3200 - first time it has seen a track. Yes they are strict on noise - my (standard) 911 failed the initial check at the gate, but passed the drive by. At least I got shown the circuit by an instructor - driving the nuts off my car too! See you all there. Do I need a garage? Are you planning on swapping wheels and/or working on your cars during the day?

[mgv8dave]

spoke to Pete via e-mither and he said there wont be a problem about getting a garage on Saturday.
and according o the BBC weather forecast it is going to be bight and sunny as well.
Sunrise at 07.31
Sunset at 16.02 perfect timing as the track closes at 14.00

Happy Days.

they are strict, so make sure the cerb is ok!!!

[rmaurer]

I'm going, primarily to drive my dad's Boxster although have just acquired an RS6 myself so think it would be rude not to have a go in that as well... Looking forward to it, see you all there!

[rs48635]

No PH stickers on my car or PH logo clothing, should we all carry a spanner or something to identify the nuts who frequent this space? My car will be the black 3200 spinning across the grass at every opportunity, with frequent stops to reset frazzled electronics. Anyone bringing tranquilisers?

errrrrrr yep sorry

[AlVal]

just got an email saying 12 spaces left, with 2 hours to fill them - rang them and told them Id take a space for the wife to chase me in her jag, (4.0 v8 s type) if they'd let a space go cheap/discounted in order to fill, but as they offered no discount at all, said no thanks. silly really, I thought, as cant imagine the spaces being filled in that time - still, more room for rest of us on track, yay!

wonder how many cars bedford can comfortably hold?

[shim]

if it is MSV they dont offer many discounts as policy. You might get a group booking discount but not last mintue discount.
