Chris - Ill say again then - you lucky sod!
Hope the weathers good on the day. Nothing worse than standing around trackside when the heavens open up.....

I think for me, the Vee is something to aspire too. Financial limits aside, I think Ive approached it the correct way. The Punto GT I had before was truly, truly awful at handling - in fact, it was abysmal. The 182 was a revelation in terms on compusure and telling you what it the black stuff...
What are you up to down at Oulton, then Chris? Just off watching (its criminal that I live within a 50 minute drive and hardly ever visit!) or will you be behind the wheel of some motor?
D.
Found it easily enough - good to see Leeshez again!
Chris - youll have to make it next time m8 - you too FM - assuming the wonky starter motor isnt still giving you jip!!!
D.
^^^^^^ - lucky sod! (Chriss response about the location of the station)
Ah well - theres always next time!

Sure - today or tomorrow, Im fine. The little tart needs some more Optimax anyway. Leeshez cant make it until tomorrow, I know that much. FM - are you up for tomorrow as well?

No m8 - yesterday. I nipped out and spotted it in all its cleanliness! :cool:
Noticed it there again this morning tho.....
What time did you leave last night? Just as come out of Shad at about 5.45pm last night, I caught a glimpse of a blue RS just heading up to the motorway. It was too far...
Told the guy who bought my Punto to blat it in 2nd down the road. Its a narrow stretch between some mills and the echo from the exhaust was just awesome.
Sad but happy feelings at the same time. Youll get over it Justy!

02 plate, dark blue 172 - approx 6pm this evening. Went the opposite direction to me - caught a glimpse of a red cold air intake (?). Only saw it at the last minute and didnt let on as the van in front was being a gernobshaft and I was keeping my eyes on him!
D.
Of course I did - I have my own 70mph speed limiter fitted! ;)
How much heavier are the Meggys over the 182s? That alone must even out the performance abilities of each car?
D.
I think Ive only seen one in the past 6 months? Either that, or Im in the wrong place, at the wrong time? ;)
There must be a few around Bury/Rochdale/Blackburn area???
D.
The black 225 up front couldnt have been trying this morning, joining the M66. Apart from the initial turbo uptake, we kept the same distance apart...
I thought a 225 would have trounced a 182???
D.
I always let onto other Valvers/Willys/172s/182s if I notice them in time! Seems a 50-50 split of those that acknowledge and those that just totally ignore you.
Got looked at in total disgust by the last V6 driver I acknowledge. Bloody snobs! ;)
D.
Telfords right. They take enough bloody money off us anyway, without given them an excuse to bump-up the premium even more. If they dont specifically ask you the question, Id ignore it. After all, its not definite that youll get the points anyway.....
D.
Im a big believer in fate, lads - something, somewhere wasnt meant to happen. None of it adds up - especially when everything seemed to be going so right.
Not that any of that helps you at the moment Chris - but for something major like that to happen on the day of an initial interview...
Still nearer to work tho! :)
What are you going to do with the paint on the arches then, FM? Anywhere else in mind, or are you going to take it to that place that Danny T went?
