[Mar 8, 2015] Yorkshire lot drive to Elvington (York)

[Matthew]

Hi al,

@Doncaster _K9 suggested in another thread that we could get a Yorkshire meet/drive arranged around a track day taking part at Elvington on Sunday 8th March.

Plan is to meet somewhere around Leeds/Cas/Selby and drive the back way to Elvington, where we can spectate for a bit.

Please use the RSVP function at the top so we have an idea on numbers and we can confirm a good back road route (I'm hoping @leeds_182 and @Doncaster _K9 will out there local knowledge to good use here).

 

[leeds_182]

Working that day mate so I'm a no unfortunately.

 

[Matthew]

Depending on numbers, could always re-arrange.

I really need someone to take the lead on this, route wise, with not being local...

 

[leeds_182]

I'm not that clever up towards york but around Selby I know my shizzle.

 

[Matthew]

Don't worry r'kid ill sort something...

I'm hoping Phill will step up given it was his idea! Ha

 

[Donny_Dog]

I'll come up with something. Let's see how many are up for it.

 

[Matthew]

Nice one mate. Maybe come up with a route and meeting point. Might entice more people to come along...

 

[Rossi1989]

I'd be up for this as Elvington is not to far from me but can't do the 8th as it's my little mans birthday party that day

 

[Donny_Dog]

Thats the only day the trackday is on!

 

[78alex]

I'd be up for this. Great little run out to Elvington. Mc Donalds and KFC only round the corner at Clfton Moor.

 

[Rossi1989]

bugger. Never mind

Hi guys, bought a 182 cup yesterday, i live in york and tonight the Aux belt snapped (missed the cambelt luckily) does anyone know of, or could point me in the direction of a Renault specialist around york that could do a cambelt/dephaser and auxbelt change? Cheers!

 

[robbie1988]

Just booked on track for this but using it as a shakedown day in my Impreza.

My brother is coming along in his 182 (@matty1995) but he is passenger in mine on track.

I don't know if he's still going but reno man at the top of toft green, or travel a few miles for one of the specialists on here

 

[jamiegjib]

[Donny_Dog]

Could meet outside McD's at Glews? for those who are south of York.
DN14 8JS - maybe 10am.
Then trot over to watch Robbie in his impreza for an hour.

If you're in York already, maybe someone could arrange a convoy from there.

 

[Matthew]

Yeah could meet there and then it's a straight trip up the B1228 to Elvington.

Anyone else up for this as only 2 people in the RSPV function at the top of the thread?

 

[Donny_Dog]

Well, I'll be at Glews for a coffee at 10am - I'll buy you one Matt.

 

[Matthew]

Any other takers on this?

Looking to meet at DN14 8JS (McDonalds) at 10am and drive upto Elvington.

 

[Nick_Leeds]

No sorry Matt i've got stuff on.

 

[Matthew]

Last call for this, it tomorrow!

Weather looks ok (it's not forecast to rain anyway)

Anyone up for this?

@Donny_Dog Still on for it mate?

Cool! So you doing the track day then? I'm just spectating

 

[Yorkshire]

Yes I am booked on, as long as the car passes the noise test, which I hope it should.

 

[Donny_Dog]

I'll be there.
Can meet a bit earlier if you want matt? 9.30?
I've gotta be back for 12.30 for a kids party!

 

[78alex]

I'll be there about 12:30. Hope the weather stays dry for you guys on track. I'm just spectating this time.

 

[Matthew]

Fcuk me sideways, Elvington is a cold and windy place.

Think I lasted an hour and was happy to engage the heated seats on exit. Was a good drive to though.

 

[Yorkshire]

Was a great day! Certainly gave the car a work out, actually a bit too much haha. Got work to do now
