Who else is going?

Been meaning to do a full day with Andy for ages, but thought I'd try this first.

Would love to but I won't have mine back by then.

I did a full day with him last year in the Chim and learn't loads.

Hopefully getting the new springs and shocks fitted to my tiv (and a few other bits) over the weekend, so aim to use that. Worst comes to the worse I'll finish off the tyres on the Focus.

edit: Oh no... Karma has stepped in here. The fking TVR won't start now. Stupid bloody Ford lump in there! Maybe I will be the bloke in a FWD shopping car after all!

Great fun day! Somehow i managed to take the high speed bend at 87mph on Walshy's radar gun. Unfortunately, to say i went over the imaginary centre line was a gross understatement, i passed that in full opposite lock at 45 degrees, overshot by miles but it did look good ;-0

But the day in question is on the 25th...

If I ever make it. A comedy of errors is currently unfolding - karma doesn't want me to go. After yesterday's mechanical troubles (well, technically the day before's) I have someone coming to collect the car first thing in the morning, to get it going and prepare it before next weekend. However, some tt has parked in front of my garage and it's likely they won't be gone until sometime after the guy who's supposed to be picking the car up has got bored of waiting.

Ok, granted the second bit is a little confusing, but in summary: It's next weekend.

Can you turn up as a spectator?

[Chris71]

Dunno, I've got a passenger registered who's pulled out, so if you have a burning desire to watch let me know.

Superb day.

Bags of track time considering the price and the number of participants (way better than the corporate/commercial type days) and nothing to hit. Very, very wet track added to the comedy value. Also extremely relaxed - no prolonged health and safety lectures or anything.
