Oulton Park yesterday - Clios aplenty!

[Darren S]

Spotted 4 close together. Lee's Trophy, Maz's 182, a 172 Cup behind (who's is that?) and the black modded dCi Clio behind that one?

Spotted the occassional RS amongst the parked cars - one black gold 182 that had a reg plate that made up the name MATT with a Hill Power sticker on tha back. Again, anyone on here?

Didn't spot any Willys about though? Saw that new 197 for the first time in the flesh. Still not convinced at all by that - especially when its fire was totally pissed on by that superb F1 Team special edition Meggy 225, parked at the side of it.

the black modded Dci was Andy_88 off here. I cadged a lift in maz's.

I was impressed with the 197, but still prefer the 225.

 

[Darren S]

Good day, wasn't it? Did you see that crash in the Clio Cup race? Happened right in front of us. He went with a right bang into the tyre wall....

D.

 

[Mike_SE]

i saw a cup, and the passenger i think started waving at me! not sure who it was though lol

we were in a 172 Cup. and we saw maz's car too, i knew it was hers! didnt know she had changed the wheels though.

 

[RobV6]

Was it a good day then? We went past but thought we would give it a miss. Noticed a few clios though whilst waiting in traffic.

 

[Darren S]

Rob - sure was. Enjoyed it that much that I'll definitely be going to Donington at the end of July. Would have been good if you'd gone in as I didn't see a Vee the whole day either!

D.

 

[Mike_SE]

i really enjoyed it, it was my first time at anything like that, needless to say i'll be going again

Rob, we saw a yellow Vee on the way home afterwards, maybe that was you?

 

[RobV6]

yeah, am normally there most weekends. We only live 5mins down the road and have the membership. Have only seen mine there so far but i know Tom Taylor goes and has a vee

Was there an old balding man at the wheel, with a passenger who looked far too good for him? If so that was Jeremy Townsend.

 

[RobV6]

Nah mine is Silver

haha! im not sure, i think it was a slim chap with glasses on but i couldnt tell how old he was, and i never saw the passenger...

 

[Lee]

Yeah, that'll be him.

 

[Kelly_]

I parked on the field facing the entrance as I was Mike's chauffeur for the day! There were loads of clios there.. more CTRs though, they're so common lol

Lee - I saw you when you first pulled in and asked the guy were you could park. I was walking in front of your car. I was going to say hi but wasn't sure that it was 100% you and plus you might not have appreciated a random girl jumping in front of your car!

 

[Lee]

You should have said hello Kelly, I like random girls saying hello as it's usually random blokes. lol

If it was when I just arrived I was busting for the loo so parked and pretty much sprinted to the gents.

 

[Kelly_]

Well I was pretty sure it was you and I did say to Mike I thought it was. Next time i'll just jump in front of the car lol.

 

[Mike_SE]

he was coming towards us though, had to hop out of the way i'm sure

 

[Lee]

Were you two amonst the people I was moaning about for standing in front of me while trying to get to the car park then?

 

[Mike_SE]

lol nah, we were near the car park field as you were going up there i think

Yours was a 172 with smoked alloys on it? That would be the one then...

Yep, mine's a '54 plate - I parked it just after that 'hairpin' in the car-park, facing nose first. Bloody policeman stopped me turning where I wanted to go too!

Northy - glad to hear that it wasn't just you that copped it with the sun. I got some right stick at work today for having a red face!!! b******s!

D.

 

[Coco_uk]

My 172 Cup was parked up near-ish to Lee's Trophy.
She had previously spent the week having a bit of work done with Yozza, who was kind enough to deliver it to Oulton Park for my pickup! Very cool!

I was sat looking down onto Cascades & Knickerbrook, did anyone else get to see the oil that was dumped at Cascades during the Formula BMW race. About 10 car's fell off, top stuff!

Also, was it anybody on here in the Cup behind me heading towards Manchester?
Did you see that Nova riiiip it away from the lights!?! Haha, was very funny as he was *4 up but game for a laugh!

 

[Lee]

Nice to meet you briefly yesterday Coco.
