Don't worry spikey, no one wants to be seen in the turbo maestro (Not even the drivers) pmsl
Great day, we upset a few people, especially 2 skyline boys, who wasn't too impressed with the maestro

saw so many cars i recognised from this site

it really was a great day, the weather was top notch apart from a few clouds - i've got a proper sunburnt face

some quick looks cars out there

spiky's white 205 screaming down the straights, also a black 205 that wasnt hanging about

yellow starlet which looked very quick and sounded the nuts

The escort & 3 door reyland was flying as oer usual, think martin had a blow out as had part of a side skirt missing

saw the goon going past a few motors

labatts cossie was awesome

Matt's Evans Primera never seemed to be off the track!

the dolly sounded the nuts

Mad Yum looked awsome in the flesh (the size of the turbo! )

too many to mention.....

few pics

That's a mate of mine's evo, gearbox went and locked the wheels up in the process, bit of a ballaches getting it off the recovery truck and onto his trailer lol, he'd fitted a gt35 the day before so was running some power even on low boost to cap the noise a bit haha! I was there with a mate in his series one track car hammering round, was going well, seen the red primera a few times on my sessions, looked like it loved the abuse it was getting !!! Great day as usual, as a few have said spiky's 205 was going very well....always a shame you don't end up out in the same sessions as all the people you recognise etc.

had a great day a few passenger rides in the labbats and in the other cars we took but the funniest time on track was with young chadders in the 106 ! he was proper on it due to the fact of a standard engine so it was slow on the straights he really made up for it in the corners

i am soooo burnt

had a great day though- nice relaxed meander, caught up with a few people i've not seen in ages, sat and watched the track - just no rushing around which was nice for a change

martin had some bad luck , business as usual for the rest of the reland camp though- flying as usual

only saw chip as i was walking then not again for the rest of the day- didn't realize you had a problem dude



Originally Posted by Spiky

no-one seems to come over for passenger rides though

NA's obviously dint appeal to people lol

some bad drivers on track today too

why dint people listen in the briefings
car was flying and sounds awsomecan't see why n/a dint appeal??
i didn't realize you'd miss having me sat next to you slowing you down that much, if i'd known i'd have signed up as a passenger, i probably wouldn't have got so burnt then

btw- please remind me who got pulled to one side for passing one of the instructors on a corner........ in fairness he was holding you up and should have known better

That white 3 door was very quick and driven extremely well.

I did try to let him past down the straight on one lap, but he didn't want to go by, then on the next lap he overtook me on the left (wrong side ) and I was impressed by how it shot by - he said it was 550 bhp. He then had to back off as like you said his exhaust decided enough was enough and I think he also mentioned it was getting too hot.

Very fast though - shows what a well set up and well driven Cossie can do, fastest "normal man's" Cossie I have ever come up against.

Did you get any pics of mine Mike?
