Ah feck.. I didn't realise it was this weekend. Provided the weather forecast is good, I'll try get a few mates interested in going as I don't actually know the way to the pod!

Its not a question of maps mate.. I always just feel really uncomfortable driving to places I don't really know or am really unfamilar with.

 

FYI - The RAC have an excellent web based route planner at http://www.rac.co.uk - its what I now use most of the time because its so good :)

Jay look forward to seeing your 4wd 16VG60 kick some butt I now have the solid front mount hehehe sod paying over £100 for a vibra I got mine custom made out of billet alloy andd poly urethane for nowt :D Works a treat

 

Chriss I'll see you at toddington then I should be arriving there with a few mates at about 9 am goto get there early as they have been turning people away at the last couple of RWYB's coz there's been too many people. Are you gonna run the old VR then chriss or is the 16v gonna get a trip out?

Just like to say I had a good day out.. nice to meet Jason and check out his masterpiece of engineering - shame you never got a chance to run it on the 1/4 mile!

 

And of course, nice to meet up with Ant and Chris as usual :D :) Ant, your car was sounding even more crazy than usual, and Chris, your car kept up with that Supercharged Golf spectacularly well!! :)

Hi Jim, nice to see you too mate. I more than kept up, Julian and I ended up with a one all draw :D

Yes it was a good day apart from all the hanging about due to oil spills :( only got 3 runs in but very pleased as consistent and much better than last time out

Managed to miss meeting Jason, I would have liked to have seen his masterpiece

I had a good day out apart from the 2 1/2 hour wait in the queue for my first run and then the 3/4 hour wait on the other 2 runs bit dissapointed about that I didn't realise it was a street racer sunday all those bl**dy drag cars pushing into the queue was doing my head in. Oh and a pretty shi*y drive home as well as most of you know :( on the bright side once I advanced the ignition timing a bit the car was much better pulled off a 14.7sec quarter reckon it could have done with being advanced just a touch more but just couldn't be bothered to queue up again, just as well really as that mad capri blew his load all over the track which closed it for another half an hour. It was nice meeting up with you guys again next time I hope to have a 13sec car we'll just have to see what happens over the next few months :D.

 

The vids are being edited at the moment so should have some footage for you to see when I get it off my mate ( word of warning though he's a ford finatic so there will probably be quite alot of fords on the vid)

I forgot to take my camera unfortunately (well, not forgot, but the batteries were kaput), so there isn't the usual bunch that I upload.

 

Just got the clips that Ants mate took.. though video is about 100x better than a still picture, so they'll be worth waiting for I am sure :)
