Chop, MK is about 20 mins from Luton. Which side of Watford do you need to get to?

If its the M1 side then it is a little out of the way for anyone I know, if its the M25 side then it should only be 1 junction out of Porkies way but also depends what car Porkie is in, if its the Sierra he'll be a seat short

Is no one staying over Friday night after the track day?

I would love to do this day as i love bedford as a circuit, but i havent done any preperation work the the RST and it just wouldnt be possible to run it without the attention on brake pads and oil and water cooling

But i will be ready next time.

PMSL @ Dave, yeah theres 1 place you could hit something

Dont you know your way about your own neck of the woods?

Clare says it might be one junction out of your way tho?Are you driving the sierra?cos there are 2 of us?Im sure i could stick my mate on the bare floor if you dint mind

Its colas im going to if anyone knows where that is and can describe to Clare/Lee?

It'd be a massive bonus if we could sort it out because id love to go and catch up with a few people i havent seen for a wee while

So back to old Q...where everyone staying the thu night?

And i checked the website which says you can only get 1 pit pass per car so how the hell could i blag one for me and my mate?

Chop, I know where Colas is Unfortunately it's not really near either motorway. I imagine some of the guys are staying at the Pub Lee mentioned earlier on Thursday night, there is no camping at Bedford.

With regard to Friday, if no one is staying over at Bedford on Friday night for a piss up then im happy to run you and your mate over to Colas, it will be on the proviso that my Fiesta doesn't break during the day on track tho as im also a seat short in my other car.

Hi John

Thanks for the offer and i really do appricate it , but i don't think the 16" will fit over my brakes

I have 17" slicks myself but i'll tell you what the problem i have got

firstly i use a saff anti roll bar which has then been moved further foward by about 10mm to allow alot more castor and this it what is causing me the problem

it's not the width of the slicks or the profile it's just a b*****d with the front bumper

i spaced out my front bumper about 2" from the front grill and it looks stupid not only that it's so far forward i can't locate the rubber cromets into the wing

so what i have done i have bought a fiber class Rs500 bumper which i can locate it the right place and then cut fook out of it .lol..

So after this track day i'm going to get some wrc centric top mounts so i can adjust the castor properly , i'll remove the top flich cup and weld in the wrc ones fook it ,i'm sick of all this shite always have to do something to make something else work properly

why didn't i just buy a fooking grp a/n trackcar in the first place LOL

No probs about Luton tmoz, where are you staying? I have one spare bedroom, but unless you want to share with an 18 stone lorry driver, I dont have a 2nd spare bed

With regards Friday getting to Watford, i'll sort it one way or another, if the Fiesta breaks i'll just get AA home then use one of my Parents cars to get to Watford.

Blimey, and there was everyone at work saying im in a bad mood today!

With regards pit pass, cant help you as I booked my track pass ages ago and you have to do it at the same time I think.

Well of course I'd have to check with the man of the house but I'm sure it'll be all good Claer. Think you are looking at floor space though

(PS: Nag Pon )

Oh Clare, I know it's only the night after so prob not but we're having a girls one in Watford town on Saturday too if you fancy.
