No sorry, sent him the money for my pass, but can't get hold of him to give him my address....

Chell off the MLR PM'ed me and said she'd sort out the pass with me on the day if he doesn't post it to me in time.

Wonder if I can email him - will take a look...

Just emailed him and it bounced right back Damn it!

Have replied to an ad he made so hopefully he will check back and see that I'm after my ticket, and have said you want the other one he has.

Will keep you posted if I hear back from him.

The idea is that you have to find the track time

If you can get some track time you're welcome to a ride in my car

It's the bit in bold that is proving tricky!

I'll throw Ł25 at ya for a ride round in the Sierra if the offer is open to anyone?

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Might have to raise the prices...

Supply and demand and all

Mart.... you could probably charge Ł40....

Best get some SERIOUS 'sign your life away' forms printed up

To be honest Si, I have seen you drive your old Saff around combe and you are FAST. I don't think you will be that impressed... but I will happily take your money hahahahah

Thank you Lee, much appreciated. I'll come find you on Saturday with a load of 50s in my hand (Coins that is, I'm not you!). Will deffo take a run out in the 3 door

Also at the fast comment, high praise indeed!

I've timed you and Martin at comfortably sub 1.20 laps at Combe, that'll do me! Got some good footage of you pushing Martin around back in May - my lodger was trying (and to be fair not doing too badly) to run with Martin in his 350bhp 2wd Saph, then you both swept him up! Think Martin wasn't at full power back then, but either way you folks were mighty Fast.

Plus from hearing the stories from Chip I'm thinking I'm going to have a right laugh, your ahem, progressive (remove the PRO, add an A!) driving style is right up my street!

That's the spirit! Fighting talk already

How much are passenger rides in the Escort then? Being a smaller car than Porkies, it must be cheaper to run, so say Ł20?

Would be good to have a lap or two in yours if you want to rake some coins in and show me how slow Porkie is?

Will drop you a PM in a mo ref the shiny bit...

You were stuck behind a Repsol wannabe Escort when I was timing you, so I'm sure 1.15s are on the cards without the mobile road block!

Have you got a Camcorder mount on the cage? Would be good to film a session if you don't mind, but handheld stuff looks shite!

Thats DEFINATELY true.

I got a really good look at Martins car from behind it in Lee's motor for a good half a lap before we passed him and fucked off into the distance

(I expect a free ride now Lee, lol)

Had it of been a bit longer then I would of happily paid Porkie Ł25 for a session



TBH 10 mins is going to be more like 5 mins by the time you have warmed up and slowed down again ! bit pointless imo

Will be interesting to see how the Sierra gets on as a couple of changes have been made.. The Escort has also had mods but these are mainly for reliability, I have changed the original two piece crank for a much safer one piece item
