As the title states, a member of another club I'm a member of, who is a search and rescue helicopter pilot has arranged an airfield trackday and visit, on the above dates. This event is in aid of The Help For Heroes Charity. He has kindly allowed me to open up the event to this club

There is a limit of around 80 vehicles, there are currently around 60 commited to the event, so spaces may become a premium. This leaves a few spaces for your big bad and beautiful Z's

The trackday is on Saturdayy the 9th, with the visit to the base facilities and a tour of the search and rescue facilities on the 8th. The trackday will be managed by the Anglesey Race Track marshals, who will help to make it a safe day. The usual track rules apply. Helmets are also required for the track. Airfield indenmnity insurance is required, @ £60, for any claims that may occur on the airfield that is deemed to be their fault (This includes track time). Personal track insurance is the responsibility of the individual. Safety vehicles, ambulance/fire will be provided by the RAF.

Food, beverage is available along with toileting facilities on site.

There may be some sort of flying display and some exotic cars on show, some main dealers are also attending with a selection of cars, Audi/VW, Honda, Mazda and BMW, all have shown an interest.

A two seater open Formula Ford and driving tuition by professional drivers, in your own car, will be available at a small cost. There will be a raffle as well with prizes in the region of a tank of fuel/set of tyres or similar.

They are currently negotiating with North Wales Police to adjudicate on standing 1/4 milers, in any case the main runway will be utilised for speed trials There is also a STRONG possibility of some celebrity presence (they are aiming high and you know who is based there )

For those that wish to stay on Saturday night, there will be a run out into the Snowdonia area on the Sunday. There are a few hotels in the area, the Cymyran Hotel and a travel lodge in Holyhead, where I'm staying.

I will be posting an email address soon to take bookings. A welcome pack will be sent out requesting vehicle details, names etc so that passes can be prepared. Payment will be in the form of a check sent with the details by post.

I hope some of you can make it (If this is the wrong place to post, can a mod please move it, oh and can it be made a sticky)

Viki, you've got PM.

Having a rumble with the 370 and RS on track in April, with a 1/4 miler Top Gear style drag, my friend seems confident it'll give the 370 a doing

 

£50 to Help for Heroes from the looser though

Hope you've got that £50 ready

You can match it if I win

Hopefully my "best" prezzie is arriving mid January, all being well Top class Akrapovic Evolution System Can't wait

I blame Chippy

Seat is worth looking at but then if you head towards a Focus, what about the RS300, a friend of mine has one and apparantly the front suspension set up is very, very good, loads of power and the 4 seats and a huge boot to, erm boot

Always wanted one, can you post pics of the whole set up? What pressure washer, snow lance etc, cheers

I'm planning on going, supposedly with another group, going to book through Speedchills at the Besajour camp site, still to sort my time off but the plan is to meet up around Ashford for the ferry on the Wed morning, returning from Le Mans on the Monday morning.

I've been a couple of times and, it's been said before, a must do event for petrolheads.

Came back up from the South of France this year through Le Mans, unfortunately a week too late

Make sure you take a big bag of fine money, or go by an obscure route avoiding the Route de Mans, especially on the way home

If it all falls through with this other group, I may join you

I'm no expert but your bike would struggle to corner as fast as that, even struggle to match or supercede the straights too. Realistically, on an open day, you'd not get within 9 mins never mind sub 8.

However, your shout, in the vid up there^^, that driver had a closed track session and probably the whole GM motorsports team behind him.

Good luck

The place is called Citation, http://www.citation-glasgow.com/home.html, I'll struggle with the 15th but I'll do me best

Another bonus is I'll have more money I'll be able to spend on the Z

Firstly, congrats Being a Dad is magic

secondly, you will have NO money for the next 20+ years for anything, I take it this is your first? Be , be very , I've got THREE very expensive daughters, and the mrs is an expensive night out as well

Bonus now though, as they all work, pay no digs, eat all our food, use vast amounts of our energy consumption, they're going to club together to buy this skint dad an Akrapovic

When he's older, don't forget the most important piece of advice to give him, as my dad gave me, " You can have more fun in the back of a car son, than on the back of a motorbike", end of my "birds and bees" talk

Can't add anything to this other than even on stock suspension, my 370 has a problem with the multi story carpark in Hamilton, the one across from Marks.

Suffice to say, this is not going to stop a lowering spring or four being fitted as it looks a bit tractorish at the mo.

Normal die cast, can get every other colour bar black, same for my RX8, I would just like a couple for ornamental value, both the same scale.

 

Was toying with getting a different colour and re-painting, but I'm clueless as to the type of paint that would be required

 

what ever the paint code is of your car, buy the same one

Suppose it could be a wee project for me

I've been trying for months now with no joy, to locate an Ebisu Black 370 in any scale

I've tried most of the suppliers on flea bay and most of the manufacturers directly, but no joy

Anyone know of anywhere that definately has one?

Oh, we all have a cross to bear, nice one he's got though, a George Cross

Congrats that man , RE or RLC?

So Jay is a huge bloke , those Ugg boots though, are still for people with bums like wizards sleeves

Bent as a nine bob note!

 

Dinnae mince yer words there George!

Mince! I see what you did there

Thanks all, Beavis especially I will mostly be driving in flip flops and G string enroute to Chilwell tomorrow

Yes, another thread trying to gauge travel conditions.

My good lady and I are travelling to Beeston in Nottingham for a Crimbo doo tomorrow morning. The usual route I take is M74 - M6 to Jct 16 - A500 - A50 - M1 Jct 24 - M1 Jct 25 to Beeston, well actually Chilwell.

As we will pass through North England and across to the East Midlands, could I ask members of their knowledge of current driving conditions in these parts.

Would you risk it in your Z's?

The quandry is whether to take The Fat Datsun (Joke!) or our front wheel drive, devil fueled, Seat Leon.

Nope me neither
