SamG40 0 Posted May 17, 2012 I was really looking forward to this but I've been offered a free weekend grandstand pitpass ticket for the DTM at brands hatch. Was really looking forward to Brooklands too. Take loads of pictures and have a good day everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James. 7 Posted May 18, 2012 Have a wonderful national day everyone. Sadly I'm unable to attend ( again ). My participation in the re-arranged Lancashire league final has put paid to that. As nice as Garswood is, I'd rather be on the bank at Brooklands. Wishing you all well and here's hoping for a sunny day. All the best, James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16VG60 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Looking forward to this meet. From the excitement it has stirred up, gauged by the level of discussion on this and the CCGB forums, it is looking to be a sizeable Corrado turnout. I am praying that the weather holds out for us, because with the predicted number of Corrados, the photos of us all on the Brooklands banked circuit, is going to be a wall hanger for all time.

Jim 1 Posted May 18, 2012 Agreed. Fingers crossed the weather behaves! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Portent 0 Posted May 18, 2012 It's looking a little rainy on the forecast now :( Hopefully we may get some luck though. Even if we don't get onto the bank it will still be great with such a good attendance and a fantastic venue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Yeah, I had noticed the weather forecast is pretty much continuous rain on Sunday - good 'ol England, but not to worry. Been ages since I've been anywhere interesting in the car so I'm looking forward to it regardless. Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bs6VR6 10 Posted May 18, 2012 Hey guys, bit dejected today, the other loom i bought of ebay was again missing the engine loom, gutted. garage is going to remove what they fitted and put her back to standard so i will be making it, just sadly without obd2 or any new exhaust stuff:bonk: pretty miffed now as i've no idea where to get one and this obd2 copnversion is getting quite expensive now. but at least i'm going in the rado......

nrc 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Well, didn't actually make the MOT today. Was about to leave when I noticed the clutch and brake pedals were far too spongy, meaning I didn't bleed the hydraulics very well on the first attempt. Gave it a second go after forcing open the brake regulator which I didn't do first time round - there was still plenty of air in there... Pedal feel could be better but feels safer now. The number 21 relay (indicator flasher) had also mysteriously given up but I pinched one from my van and it's all working again. The ISV was pretty noisy so I've given it the WD40 treatment. There's numerous other grumblings and squeaks which I'm going to assume will begin to sort themselves out after a time - par for the course after being off the road for 7 or so months! Going to try again for the MOT in the morning and all being well will set off down the M1! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlet_vr6 0 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) I'd like to come along to this now too please :) Sadly I won't be in my C as although the replacement screen was fitted today, it still doesn't have an MOT or tax. Can't believe I'm going to miss getting my C on the banking, but at least I'll be there now! Hope it isn't too short notice...

tbvr6 0 Posted May 18, 2012 Sprung a coolant leak today, but will still be there, but with a spare bottle of coolant in the boot! Hope to get on the banking, so that the coolant lying around on top of the gearbox will run off :-) Glad you can make it now Fay. Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted May 18, 2012 The weather is so uncertain, we may not even be up on the banking anyway - it's really hard to tell. I'm well over my mileage allowance on the Corrado for insurance this year (thanks in no small part for drives to Germany AND Scotland in the last 10 months) so will have to bring the daily along :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CazzaVR 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Not the worst daily to bring along though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Damn I wish this was not so far away. Still really tempted to make the drive down, but it's probably an 8 hour round trip or more.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nrc 0 Posted May 19, 2012 Sadly I'm not going to be able to make it. Just had an MOT failure - nothing drastic, just mainly brake stuff I can't tackle myself - and the work won't be done until Monday. Gutted, but I'd much rather be driving a safe car. I'm still crossing my fingers for some nice sunshine for all those attending! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

16VG60 0 Posted May 19, 2012 A bunch of us from Sussex and Hampshire are planning to convoy up to Brooklands to get there for the breakfast club meet, enjoy a full English, and wait on to see the 10am Corrado rush. If any of you fancy an early start, we are meeting at the top of Bury Hill in Whiteways Lodge car park, north of Arundel, on the A29 at 8.15am. The breakfast club entry fee is £13 which includes breakfast and full access into the Museum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
