Me and Si B are currently heading up the M5 at about 100 bananas (mph would be speeding) Nigel not far behind us, left yeovil about an hour ago, hoping to be there about 9am or so.

Have got the slicks in with us as weather report was looking good at 2am when we packed the wheels, only for it now to start saying rain on sunday on metcheck, doh!

Going to be doing it on 19" road tyres at this rate, not good!

 

have fun

 

Starting to get pretty light now, so thought id take the chance to get a shot of nigels car in motion.

 

nice pic chip

 

Couple more from earlier when we were loading up

 

Have a good one, and keep it on the black stuff.

 

Our criuising speed just dropped for some reason

 

Fast cars these evo's, there is only one thing we cant seem to pass at the moment.
































Petrol stations, LOL






Nice one Dave, see you soon fella

 

Just loading the car up and we will be on our way

 

I need a 3 hour window of dry roads some point today between Crewe and Croft as doing concourse tomorrow....dont fancy my chances

 

Nice one, see you in a few hours then Helen.


We're nearly there now, although need our 3rd full tank of fuel of the morning pretty soon!

[QUOTE=maria;3390107]apparently its really nice there!



thanks hope it stays fine for tomorrow aswell

 

just had a text AG has crashed his focus and damaged rear quarter amongst other things

We are just leaving now

 

Heard there have been a couple of "offs" but nothin too serious.

Im sick as fuck, only just got in from work. I wasnt supposed to be in this morning but we were stupidly busy and I had to.

Was gonna run through now but would be about 3.30 by the time I get there which is a bit pointless really. Ill be there for opening in the morning though, just try and fuckin stop me.

 

fook all happening here lol i'm gutted it's a bit to far to travel now

 

First off was SiB in his evo, with lambchop in the car, got it a little wrong round the hairpin coming onto the main straight, he and the AYC were both fighting each other to try and control the car I think, spun round and hit the lefthand barrier with the drivers side, panel damage all down the side, but nothing too serious, mechanically still fine and we've had some more good session since.

Andrew Gallaghers off happened right in front of me, the blokes a fucking headcase, lol, was totally sideways all the way from the left by the bank down to the first hairpin, then flicked it totally the other way, entering the bend more or less backwards, came off the track, kept his foot in drifted accros the grass, still kept his foot in went right across the concrete and hit the other side of the barrier to where Si B hit.
He really is nuts, he throws that car around like its a piece of shit he couldnt care less about, absolutely awesome to watch, have seen him do the same bend about 10 times since and same basic attack strategy each time, enther with the back in front of the front, and power right round and out, its like watching a speedway bike, proper rally driver stuff but on tarmac not gravel.

Awesome day out so far, and looks like being a great nights camping, dave and helen are hear now too, helen's just popped off with Si and Nige and AndyR to show them where to get fuel.

One of the guys with andyr got some pics of gallaghers off, i'll see if I can get them onto my laptop and upload them later if I get a chance, they really do capture it fucking well judging by how they look on the camera preview screen.

 

jesus!!!


be careful guys!

 

Damn, wish I went now

 

loads of fun today shame about andys car but he will be racing at knockhill tomorow so should be fixing it tonight well impressed with charlie shaws driving flat out drifts lol
