Chris why isn't it your thing?? Welly'in the clio down the 1/4 mile is imense fun!!

But travelling down in a Clio...and coming home on back of AA trailer isnt fun. Now my 182 is second car...I may well give her a couple of blats!!!

Precisely! I'd rather it be working to use on track days than this.
Drag races are better on the 449 ;) (joke)

Pair of f*cking benders!

Tbh it's probably a good thing you've bottled it,
I doubt you'd be able to handle the embarrassment of the dog kennel destroying you.

It shocks people how quick it is, peoples shiny 182's can't f*ck with it y0! :evil:

It'd be even quicker if I could afford buckets and alloys. :(

Ye but it's a better adrenaline rush and way more fun!
We could debate about it all day, just agree to disagree ;)

Well I might be finding out if I can get £250 quid together for Llandow,
i'll know by the end of the week if I can afford it.

Pretty confident I can make it, just don't want to commit before I have the money.

Although I don't class drag days as a track day,
just a cheap day out with the lads having a laugh seeing who you can beat.

You won't need that much Dave?!

105 for the day
Tank and half for fuel getting there, the day and getting back.

If you stop the night before the current price for rooms at the travelodge are 45 quid
Or you could camp somewhere......

Well Daniel said :

£105 track day
£40 Travel lodge Friday night
£30 dinner & booze

One and a half tanks of super will be the best part of £100 quid.

So £250 is a realistic amount for the entire thing.

Ooooo ye I forgot about food and beer on the Friday night :(
Travel lodge price has gone up to 45 now too, I paid 20 quid last time :(

If I took the Juke down the 1/4 mile...if I set off on Friday, I could be crossing the line just before we all leave on the Saturday night! ;)

i'll swap for our clio gladly????

I've had the Juke into single figures in terms of mpg for a short while...but I prefer the Eco mode 99% of the time and Sport mode on occasions. The Juke is a Clio in all but badge and a few bits really. Is the Renault Captur essentially the same car?

Stokieforkor picked up the wrong timing slip I reckon, iirc there was a CL4 and a CL04 running that day, one of them was turbo'd and the other was Stokie!

My best was a 14.5, loved how I beat my mates Type R run after run!

I beat Stokie in a straight up race that day, but my best time was 15.00,
his was something impossible like 14.4, I reckon he had a tail wind that run. lol

i think the CL04 was me! tempted to go again but not sure i want to put the car through the punishment!
 
I heard Santa Pod isn't as fun, you know... Just what I heard though.

I'm sure it'll be as fun as we make it though...

I'll be lucky to do a 15.00 again, car's not been the same since the belts were changed,
I think the timing was out by an amount that made it quicker,
now it's timed properly it just doesn't feel as quick.
