Get working on him matey! hell love it!

-john.

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Do you think we can allow an MR2 roadster in under the "Hot Hatch" banner?

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

1.8 140 bhp? Probably faily evenly matched on the track so I shouldnt see why not.

telford_mike · Sep 4, 2002

JFDI John, Im seeing the bloke with the Alfa in a few minutes.

teady172 · Sep 4, 2002

A well driven new MR2 should have a 172 round the track with relative ease!

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Anyone know the cost of the insurance?

telford_mike · Sep 4, 2002

I paid £55 last time but Im not going to bother again - the covers crap and I think the track is a lot safer than the road!

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Hay guys, just looked on the Palmersport booking page, and it now reads ............

There are currently 26 places available for this Track Day.

Only one to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

telford_mike · Sep 4, 2002

WooHoo! My m8 just booked online (Alfa 156 Sportwagon) Looks like we could be there!!

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

I know its a long shot but an ex scooby owning work mate recommended posting to scoobynet.co.uk. He says loads of hot hatch folk on there might be interested so Ive a posted a thread on there. Never know it might generate more Nos.

still need one more, come on, get persuading you lot!!!

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

I may have a possible, but wont know until tomorrow, hes meant to be moving house, but its touch and go whether it happens on friday or not..... :-/

Could we bargain with them about the amount of spectators/additional drivers and go with 14?

Kathy - Im not going back on my offer though - it still stands if needed.

telford_mike · Sep 4, 2002

We do have 15 drivers - Vals an additional driver, so thats given them an extra £75. With a few tators theyve got the same amount of money that theyd have had with 15 cars / drivers.... yeah??

specialK · Sep 4, 2002

well the extra driver is only £75 not £135 so they dont quite have the same amount do they?!?!? however, we are getting there!

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

I cant take the suspense any more!!

Think I need some Valium.....

Anyone?

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

I have not signed up yet hmm.....

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Kathy, when you know the situation, give me a ring and well sort whatever needs done.

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Are there any places where you can empty you car? Ill probably have a boot full of stuff and wont want to be driving around with all that crap in the boot! ??

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Come on Tony, you know ya want to!

specialK · Sep 4, 2002

Tony - the pits would be reasonably safe and secure - especially since it is more or less only club members going to be there ! - But might i suggest you empty it before you go up there????
K

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Yeah, the pit lane will be fine, therell always be a few of us around, but getting rid of the stuff you dont need from your boot might still be a good idea

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

Go on Tony - you know you want to. You definitely wont regret it one single bit.

John - "give me a ring and well sort whatever needs done"!!! What you planning on doing? Kidnapping Jonathan Palmer and holding him for the ransom of an afternoon on his circuit for 14 cars!!!

Rich

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Trouble is, ill have some suitcases and a full PC in the car. Dont want to leave those around. Maybe I can re-arrange plans... Shall see what I can do.

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Also, who is going to leave the spare at home ??

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Well, I normally do now (aint that what AA cover is for???? )

But I may well bring it along just incase

specialK · Sep 4, 2002

Tony - just do it!!!!!! sort out the mere "detail" of it all later!!! K

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

I have the rope and swivel chair in my boot now

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Oh, where is the BBQ? Is that a the track too ?

specialK · Sep 4, 2002

Yep, B-B-Q is at the track - and jolly fine it was too !!!

Roamer · Sep 4, 2002

Then after the BBQ onto the PUB!!!!!!

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Okay, okay - Im in and all booked up - we have our 15 cars
Just be gentle !

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

Pheew! Looks like the targets been reached guys + gals.

Were going after all!!

Hurrah!!

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

Nice one Tony. Your not going to regret it.

Were going to have a cracking day burning rubber!

Rich

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

Ok, seeing im a trackday virgin, is there anything i need to know before i go? Anything I need to take (like driving license etc) ????

desmondo · Sep 4, 2002

Driving License is a must. Apart from that, a helmet if you have one (otherwise you can hire one - £50 deposit) and a couple of extra PSI in your tyres is also advisable.

Oh, and empty the cabin of anything that might come loose! You dont want that can of pop jamming under the brake when you come to the end of the long straight at 120mph!!

Nice Try Good Bye!! · Sep 4, 2002

Has anyone had any booking confirmation from Palmersport all I have is a world pay id and £135 less in the bank, i booked last week?

VX-Tony · Sep 4, 2002

I got an order confirmation from worldplay and another from palmersport, both emails, came at the same time

specialK · Sep 4, 2002

Phew - thank god for that then!!! I can relax now - not that it means more cant go if they want!!!! well done everybody and thanks for your help to get enough signed up, and Roamer thanks for your "extra offer" K

Roamer · Sep 5, 2002

Great stuff guyz, thanks Tony, you wont regret it matey, itll be great.

Kathy - No worries, saying stuff like that might get people wondering though eh?

Matbrown · Sep 5, 2002
