Had a great day. Sorry Martoooon for trying to drown the MG with that "little spin" and getting it a bit muddy!

I wondered who had taken the MG grass tracking

was good to catch up with you



Luca - I love it, it is just fun ! Exactly what I wanted for track, the laps out with Lee were entertaining

Havent had chance to go through and edit anything yet so i'll post up more when time allows.

Where's the video footage you loosers - don't tell me you can't load that up either?

Thanks to Chip for the nervous lap - all was well until he started telling me all the budget parts he had bought for it off Ebay (Ł10 suspension, Ł60 brakes, home made brackets - hardly fills you with confidence ) , and especially Martoon for trusting me with the Yellow Peril, which just blitzed EVERYTHING on track (including the Prep 'N Play 3dr ) !

No, seemed very quiet . Top respect to the guy, as it was really slippery until late afternoon, he wasn't hanging about in it either .

Sure he was with the HERO in the Evo and last year they were doing similar tricks in a CSL

Using their toys how they should be used

Thanks to Nick for taking me out in his S15 - shame we got pulled for noise though!
Thanks to Bruce for taking me out in the XR2 - omg that spin was scary!!!
Thanks to dave for taking me out too - yet another spin!!

Spikey - was such a shame about the noise! and i lol'd at the silencer story too!

Who's was the wide arch Mk2 Escort ?

Sounds like a good day out, the guy with that Evo must go there quite often as I've seen him doing the same at a few Bedford Trackdays last year, NUTTER, its funnier watching other Evo owners trying to copy him

Got a few more planned this year too! Such a shame Brands was so dam wet today. But I love the car, feel so much more confident on track with it.

Tell Jamie thank you for my lap out with him, will have to grab another passenger ride with him at next one, really like the Focus

Bedford is great, such a massive variety of corners, certainly made brands yesterday seem very simple by comparison, I dont know why its not even more popular with trackday folk that it already is, ok its a bit flat, but other than that its the perfect circuit really!

Noise chip.

and some will say featureless....

but features just give you things to hit when you go off!

I LOOOOVE Bedford

Its even better when they change the circuit layout at lunch time.

I think all tracks will be needing to lower noise regs as time goes on, so people resisting making their trackday cars quiet enough for bedford are going to end up dissapointed elsewhere soon too IMHO

Its frustrating that they dont understand WHY your car is loud, but ultimately they were just trying to help, even if they were misguided.

Decent filter box setup would solve your problems at very little BHP cost
