Is anyone going?
Going to be a busy old day for me as I've got some instruction in the morning, then my ARDS test!
Plus, it's a shake down for my newly built car.

[mattsayle]

I have an inset day from college so I should be there

What car you going to be in?

[indigorallye]

A blue Peugeot 106. If you want a few laps just come and say hello.

[mattsayle]

Thank you for the passenger laps today Really enjoyed them

Look forward to snapping you in the BARC NW Sports and Saloons!

[indigorallye]

No problem Matt. Anytime you see me there be sure to say hello.
It was good to meet you, and hopefully you'll get some good snaps later in the year.

[indigorallye]

Hi Matt, Me and some of "The Boys Toys" mob were at Oulton yesterday, you should of come and said Hi, as you are more than welcome to jump in the passenger seat for a session or two.

Fabulous day yesterday, long time since I`ve had decent weather conditions (apart from the brief snow shower for an hour or so ) as the last three occassions it`s lashed down!

[indigorallye]

Your Golfs all went very well, as did the Focus.

Hi, Matt has mailed me asking about pics from Oulton yesterday, I'll have a look through them as soon as I get a chance and post a link back here.

Edit: I've uploaded pics to http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianparker1/ Only low res versions, if anyone wants a bigger version let me know.

Thanks Ian. Do you mind if I link them on a couple of other sites, and post them on my site? (with appropriate thanks of course!)

[mattsayle]

Good shots Ian You managed to get a shot of Mike's Pug with me in the passenger seat

[IanParker]

Linking is fine.
Matt, thanks I was trying out the new camera. Who says a 5D can't do sports ?

[Big Ashy]

Many thanks for the link Ian, some great shots of the golfs there, Cheers.

Cheers, The 106 looked well on track, I presume it was a shakedown day for you as there appeared to be a lot of fettling and adjusting going on in your garage?

Hi Ian, as you have mentioned above, I would really appreciate any high res pics of the three Golfs (MK2 Black and Green/ Mk3 Red), the White Vectra V6 Cup car and the red 205 GTI 1.9. Many Thanks in advance, Cheers.

Yeah it was a busy day. That was the first time I had ever driven it. I had no idea what to expect. Unfortunately I cooked the brakes early on so didn't want to push too hard. Plus I was spending more time trying to get my lines sorted.
I also had my ARDS test during lunch. I was the muppet out in the VX220 convertible when it was snowing. It was bloody cold.

[Big Ashy]

Yer it was a little bizarre when it was snowing and it was quite heavy at times . I expected to have a few moments but it was surprising how little the grip levels reduced?
Was a great day all round, especially as we seemed to have the whole circuit to ourselves due to the limited numbers on the day, along with a very good standard of driving with only one red flag incident all day if I recall.

Ian, YHM.
