This is me being asked after the black flag was shown why l was driving slow down the start of the pit straight
Asked him if l have pinged any noise sensors, he did not reply he just said he would be keeping a eye out for me, well it was Helens turn next

Hey Dave and Chip, drove past you on the M25 yesterday, you might have been wondering why a loud blue Land Rover was tooting and waving when going past, it was me.
Was a little surprised to first see Chip driving YUM, then Helen's sapph on the trailer on the back of a jeep
. Gearbox explains it 
Strangely, mrsFrog commented on how driving down the M1 on a Sunday afternoon brought back memories
Here's what I've been to this week end, slower and a lot dirtier

Good point Icky, i would not want to be on a track with someone drifting after Silverstone, we had a fucker in a sierra losing it cos he couldn't drift and he started getting flagged,i reckon 10 maybe 5 years ago if you did that drifting bollocks on a track day you would get removed from the premises for being a danger which is exactly what i think that is.
the drifters should have their own session for themselves, it would put me off doing it not knowing if someones gonna purposely slow and flick it around.

Easiest way to break the gearbox on yum helen would be to swap it with your broken one
Simples!
Although that said, given that you were absolutly flat out in 3rd EVERY session in several places, im at a bit of a loss as to how you think he treated it any worse than you did or how its anything other than bad luck it died while he was driving it?
(I realise that involves logic and you are female so I probably wont get an answer)

I had a great day, caught up with plenty of people i've not seen for a while!
Spent 90% of the time in the pits and on the pit wall as most of my friends were on track
I thought things were as well as they could be for the short notice rearrangement.

when i opened this thread i thought here we go !
but after the first few moans everyone seems grateful that the show went ahead.
we always knew numbers and traders would be down but decided that we would rather have a smaller show than non at all.
many national day staff re arranged holidays and travveled from the top end of the country to make sure we could make the best of what we had handed to us 2 weeks earlier.
you can never please everyone at ANY show but all things considered i thought the day was a success,
the area i look after ( local groups ) on the melbourne loop was down about 50 cars from last year so with the date change and credit crunch i think thats not bad at all.
thanks to all that came and heped and thanks to everyone who attended
i am sorry to those of you who did not enjoy it , lets hope we can put that right next year with what should be the best new venue around !!
regards
Dave

LOL at another stupid thread!!!
So many glad i didnt go replys!!!
Dohhhh its because you didnt go that the show was fairly quiet!!!!!!
Its the owners of RS cars that keep the scene alive nothing/nobody else, so if you do not attend put your cars on diplay then its gonna be quiet, am i right or what.
It was through no fault of the RSOC that they had no space, this was down to bad planning by Donnington nothing else!!!
