glrnet Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 An early start but worth the effort and great company as usual, good to see Daz, Will, Andrew, Keyser, Karrah, Ken and Wasso. Here's some pix:- Quote
Keyser Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Just back - got some birthday celebrations at the moment will check the video out later Great day though and if Will mentions the errr alternative line I took through Quarry bend with the back end hanging out - I just want it known that I had it completely under control the whole time Quote
Humpy Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Yeah that old chestnut Chris lol. Looks like a awesome day was had though! Quote
Darren-B Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 What a great day guys, possible one of the most enjoyable track days I've ever experienced, with excellent driving standards & not to busy, my last session me, Will & Andy pretty much had the circuit to ourselves, which was great as i managed to get away with some 3rd gear full lock drifting theough Quarries & the following chicane I managed to use 1 1/2 tanks of fuel but it was definitely worth it, Can't wait to see the pics & videos. A big thanks to Ken, Graham & Ian for making the effort to come down & join us. Sorry we only had a short session out Ken, shame about the red flag & lack of remaining time Quote
Wasso Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 A truly brilliant day and thanks for the invite. Yeah a fair treck and Ken still had a heft leg even after I peeled off at Birmingham. The PAX rides were epic There's no way Suzi will be doing what you guys do with yours....... I'd have fear that I'd lose body parts. Quote
Dave-350 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Guys, you need to invest in a GoPro! Lol Looks like a great day out though! Quote
coldel Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Looks like good fun chaps - will have to join you next time Quote
Wasso Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Guys, you need to invest in a GoPro! Lol Looks like a great day out though! It would look stupid stuck to my head Dave Darren and Chris both have in-car video. Quote
Will370z Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Great day out guys, loved it and great to see you all there. And chris yes that was a unique line, i thought you were just trying to find a secret way around the circuit no one else knew about. Interesting watching those videos in that order, looks like we made some ground and pulled away from darren in the bmw - nice one andy lol. Quote
Darren-B Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 I'll try & get some videos up from in car on Sunday night 1 Quote
Wasso Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 You gota put that one up of that shicane when it got a bit hairy. The camera doesn't do the justice of speed. When you're cracking 130+ on that straight. Quote
coldel Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Cars always look pedestrian on camera from the inside! Quote
elfman Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Looks like a awesome day. Must say I'm hankering for a track day now. Quote
Darren-B Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 After 700miles of fun including todays kent run the car was looking well used with plenty of dust & grime on the body & an ample amount of brake dust & tyre wear Not forgetting the grave yard of bugs & their international eating habbits After an hour it`s back to being a show car Might have a look @ sorting the videos tomorrow Quote
Will370z Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Can still see some of that pizza / kebab on the front number plate Quote
Wasso Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Wow even a wheel change. Nice finish with clean mate, very Wave me when the next Motorsport day occors. Might even get my own helmet. Will, what size was the helmet I borrowed? Quote
Darren-B Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Que the Puns Might even get my own helmet. Will, what size was the helmet I borrowed? Que the puns Quote
Darren-B Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Trust you to spot that Will. My excuses: 1- The cars going for paint next week 2- The sander will remove the rest of the bug guts 3- I have a new numberplate 4- I was tired after cleaning the windscreen 5- I couldn`t be bothered Quote
Wasso Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Que the Puns Might even get my own helmet. Will, what size was the helmet I borrowed? Que the puns I did actually think when typing this is going to promote some comments. Darren I'm afraid I've been looking at beemers. 2002 330d. With a remap for pennies you're looking at 269bhp'ish and 350tq+ Strip and load the car with the necessary bits and you're away. The only thing is, a diesel isn't exactly cool bro. But winding up the turbo is oh so easy. Quote
