Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
To be fair Matt, I can see where you're coming from but I think a motorcycle helmet or whatever will be perfectly adequate considering Pod you wouldn't use one at all do doesn't need to be OTT.
Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Yeah exactly Dave, eBay helmets are fine for what we need. I'd be happy to use a motorcycle one for the odd trackday too, obviously tested a fair bit.
Seems there'll be a better atmosphere at Shakey then Pod, and possibly more runs etc as doesn't seem it'll be...
Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Helmets, mine is kite marked etc for motorcycle use so while not brilliant if its good enough for a motorcycle I'm sure it'll be okay in our cars up to 90mph, it was circa £30 throuch ebay new, retails at
£70 as for hiring I can imagine they do, something I forgot...
Re: James/BigAsh 182 Race Car by TDF... It doesn't get much better than this! *Pic He
Have been reading this thread almost from the start and am yet to comment on it.
Saw the car when it was at Fred's though and have been following your progress and want to say congratulations on a brilliant...
Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement!
Looks lovely. Agree with silver wheels and no tints etc. Will look great, I'll watch this one
Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Will set up a new thread for this soon but just gauging interest at the minute.
Thinking we should do a 'RunWhatYaBrung' session asap before the weather goes totally tits up on us.
Price is £12 per person admission and then a 'track fee' of £25 which gives...
Used to have a 1.8 corsa myself, couple of mods and it was almost as quick as my 172 Cup. Not worth bothering with him though as has already been said.
You can set it so your PM's come to your email address too.
Was just about to make the same offer as Chris. If you want to send it to two of us in case the other forgets one month. I've been texting ad the last 2 meets.
Oh Ooohh I was just thinking of taking Amie this weekend lol. That would be hilarious, won't now, want to avoid you...only joking mate.
Thanks again for the lift :)
The prices were more than we usually spend but the service and the quality of the food more than made up for it.
Ad, at least it's for the better, anyway Nuneaton will still be on our turf so we'll allow you to move house :)
Thanks to all for coming this evening.
Company = Great
Banter = Great
Drink = Great (especially when I wasn't driving)
Food = GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!
had an absolutely great night, these monthly's just keep getting better and better and that's down to you lot so keep attending and we'll keep...
Yeah fred said to me it wasn't cheap on Saturday, said the food is absolutely excellent regardless though. Guess it makes a nice change from the usual 2 for £10 wich isn't bad quality but nothing to shout home about.
Quick search online revealed a general rule of thought:
The myth about putting batteries on concrete floors is from years ago when battery technology was not as advanced as it is now.
It has nothing to do with the concrete or the ground though.
A cool, damp location was a poor place to...
Hi Jamo_182, I notice your location is set as Manchester. Are you actually local to the West Midlands hence asking? If so everyone receives a PM a couple of days before and we can add you to that, also it is always in the Calender which you'll find at the top of the page (inbetween FAQ and...
I might not be there now. Car luck (which was pretty bad anyway after replacing almost everything on the car) just ran out completely. Car's written off now I reckon, should have hit animal. I'll live I think lol. Might see if Tom or Chris wouldn't mind giving me a lift (think the bad luck is...
As I think Don's put in the calendar mate, if you make the effort to attend when it's not local to you (which you have) then yes we definitely will have one closer to you. It's only fair that we accommodate people that put in effort.
.
I for one would be perfectly happy if Octobers was near...
That's a Good question, didn't think of it as an issue as the monthly meets only bring in 6 or 7 of us but then the last meet at star city I think we had about 25 so while we don't know numbers I may just ring them to see if they could manage a few of us.
I'll see if don's spoke to them and if...
Oh oohh I'm in the dog house.
Girlfriend just asked what I'm doing Monday and I said going for some grub and a drink etc with the CS lot in Solihull.
Then got the 'you do know what day it is?
Since when can you have an 'anniversary' so to speak when we're not married...that argument won't work...
Chris I'll be nice because you're a mate but that is just silly talk :p Matt is talking about an S15 (and through fb he is trying to get me to get one as well)
Why have an Impreza over an S15 bar the noise lol.
Haha not sure how large yet :s
(Okay mate well I'm working every other day so will just get you to have a quick look Saturday when dropping the girlfriends 1.2 off and then get mine booked in dependent on diagnosis.)
I actually think a proper drinking session is in order, bit far for me and a...
