Removed Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 got the tickets guys: bad news as on saturday we need to be in by 8:30am on Saturday, so it will mean an early departure from Manchester.... AndyC want to convoy then? Debbie is off for the wekend so she'll join us, but will have to drive down with us in the Yaris as I'll stay over in Birmingham on Sunday night as I'm there in the morning for work anyway. We'll probably have to leave at about 6am.... :yawn: Nick where are we going to meet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm not sure I'm coming down to Northampton mate, TOMTOM might be sending me off the Mway earlier and cut, I THINK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_MSM Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 No worries mate, could meet nearish to Rockingham then if we time it right? I'm planning to get there for 8-8.15ish so we can meet at a petrol station or something near by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus stone chipped to high heaven!! Needs some TLC mate, which I will do soon Which way you reckoning, M62 then M6? If so we could meet near the Skoda garage where you first spotted me, if thats easy for you, if not wherever else.

AndyC Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Nice one guys for a great day on Saturday, shame I couldn't stay for the whole weekend. Fortunately I didn't though cos I've managed to get the worlds worst sunburn. After taking the p**s out of a load of people I did it myself. And yes, I have got the glasses marks!! Anyway, it was a great day - cheers Val, Nick, Holly & Debbie for making it! I've downloaded the pics to the laptop and will get them on site this week hopefully It looked fantastic with the 3 cars sat there with the club plates on, it'd make it a lot more special to have a whole ton of us there next time though!!!

Chesterfield Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 0-60 times from the day... Only one 350Z on the list, and not too shabby a performance either... eh Val? http://www.theresults.co.uk/2006_Motorsport_0604_Speed_Modified_Nationals_Car_Show_Overall_0-60_results.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 very nice find Chris, how on earth did you come across that??? I only had 3 goes, and it was the hottest day of the 2. My best run was the first one I did! PS the Micra time of 4.5 was definitely a timing error as I saw it, but it looks like he's got bragging rights!

Chesterfield Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I found it on another car site, one of their members owns the Pulsar GTI-R at the top. Good figure though Val, wonder what a F/I Z can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 think I saw the GTI-R run too, didn't remember it was that fast! fastest times seem to have been recorded on Sunday, air temperature was definitely lower so that might have helped for sure It'd be nice to see what standard cars do as well, but with the fact that the driver can make such a difference, it would be hard to compare them anyway!
