Oh well, maybe next time

 

ant took a few pics and also got some good video from in car, i will post some pics up, i will try and do it now befor the rugby starts again

 

It was a fan-fappin-tastic day

Cheers to all involved setting the day up

Hammered the arse out of my Escort and it behaved good as gold all day. Had a couple of moments.

Hope the people I took out though the old girl went ok and apologies to the people that I couldn't take out.

Got about an hours worth of video which I'll rip tomorrow if somebody can host it

 

Had a nightmare week with the car! Everything that could possibly go wrong did! Worked all last night in an attempt to get it trackworthy and gave up! Then decided this morning to have another go cus we wanted to do this day so much! Finally got it running at 9.00 this morning and got to beds at 12.00.

My mate did two laps and the servo piped popped off causing a nice spin!! Noticed the new fookin breather system we bought especially to replace what we thought was an inadequate system was still lobbin oil out of the little filter! so we may have probs elsewhere. We connected a bottle up to the breather pipe and I did a lap and came back in to find the bottle full of oil, so game over for us.

Looked like others were having fun though! May see the fiesta in the for sale section at this rate!

 

Today cost me and my mate about Ł500 for three laps!

 

bad news mate, better luck next time

 

Brasso Wounder mate, hope you sort it ok! Stick at it fella!

Glad you had a good day Dunc!

 

Gutted i didnt go



Glad you all enjoyed it

 

I'd like to apologise to the marshall who ran out off his hut as i headed straight towards him,
Think i found the limits of the brakes

I had a pukka day, excellent, was my first ever track day, didnt have my own car there But now I am VERY tempted

Thanks go to Andy and Tony for scaring me, oooops I mean taking me out and especially Mike (sorry Andy, Tony ) for a few blistering laps, till the black flag reared its ugly head ... I was grinning all the way round FANTASTIC ( to be fair andy and tony's driving had the same effect though )

Awesome day Gem + Steve 37 laps i did in the end and ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ of optimax

Shame my bernie box shit it'self about 4.30 though <---Real tears!

Luckily the lovely bloke from the AA sorted me out a deal, Thank you very much

Also a big shout out to Adam (Noveload) who towed me (Some times wheelspinning ) to get my car out of the autodrome

Hopefully will get the car fixed n see everyone at Central day.

Sorry to hear about the box mate

 

SMIT gutted on the box fella, on your first trackday too

 

Paul - Yeah it's only a gearbox at the end of the day....It's done excedingly well considering the amount of abuse i've given it over the past 2 years!

Tiff - Just looking through the 80mins of tape i took....Got some quality footage of Alex in the scooby sideways at every corner... Still not found your footage yet though....it's goes like this......

**Tiff over takes me giving it the bird as he goes past**

Come to few corners then long straight, lots of traffic so hold back....about 3/4 cars infront of me......

I can remember Rossco's commentary....

I totally lost it n nearly crashed

 

Was all good fun

1st and last time i spun off there at nearly100mph

 

what fiesta? wasnt me was it? (well my mate was driving when we overtook you) the red one with newtechpirates and thedaddypants down the sides.

 

hope the trip home was not to bad smit we had to limp home at 50 cause my mates 3 door done the diff.good that the old saffy survived the day.

 

nice to see the fords proving there reliable

as for smits box,,,,,,,,,, im suprised it lasted 2 years,,,,,,,,,, wish i never mentioned about your car being a reliable one the other day

 

Yeah the womble spin was funny quote "its all good"

TBH mikes car was amazing, its got loads of grip, a really nice balance of being able to slide the tail a little while still keeping the car going in the right direction and its quick and the brakes a half decent

Tony got much better towards the end of the day. In the begining i felt i was able to stay with him, but after he got the feel for his car on track he just quicker and quicker with his RST and i just couldnt keep up towards the end sessions. Looks like i need more than a stage 1 RST

 

Top day out, and lucky to get almost the same weather as last year.

I have 3 hours of footage - will get it onto our local site soon - www.turbo-nutters.co.uk and link it on here

 

Good weather + great people + great cars = TOP DAY!!

Nice to meet some people off this board yesterday and was very pleased with how I / my Focus performed...

Alpina hurry up with that footage dude!!!

 

Oh no gutted smit You have given it some abuse tho that old box, its lasted well considering

 

Gutted for you SMit...


Please please let me have a copy of the video... It was soooo much fun playing with you all day

Gutted to hear about your gearbox

Still you were proper going it

Alex

 

Alex, you car was wicked to watch in the passenger sun visor mirror, proper drifting

Tiff, that was a proper spin and we were crying as joined the track and were shaking your hands all over the place Tyres went off wernt it??

Most impressive cars of the day must have been Martins Metro, Mike Escoss and the M3 CSL

Cheers Adam to

And sorry bout your box Smit and thanks for taking me mate.

I want to be at the next one in the S1, Smit i owe you mant laps buddy!

 

Barry, glad you + the Focus had a great day! How did your brakes hold up? I completely fooked mine at Bedford last year. What pads are you running?

 

Wasn't you fella no worries

 

Hope it wasnt me,i wasnt to good on the first session out

 

Smit, No worries mate, i mean what are mates for? i'l thank me Nan for that pack thingy that the tow rope came from..... she go that for me for Xmas cause the Nova was playing up, not used it for the Nova yet!

Bless the poor nova, was like watching an Ant pull a branch of a tree, suprized the clutch didnt smell!

Who had the Plain Red Fiesta? the one that every time you got close to me down the back straight i'd just hold you off??

what happened in the Last Crash? was there a cilo down the inside of the orange Mk2??

Anyway, Thanks you guys for letting me join you, hope i didnt piss anyone off or hold anyone up, i'm still learning! had a great day and thanks to Smit and Rossco for putting up with me!!

 

Had similar when rslover/switch broke down so we towed him home with our old 2i. Must have been a weird sight

 

looked like the clio sideswiped the escort. wasnt the last crash sadly, 2 fiestas met on the "fiesta challege" session
