I can probably account for about 15 of the spaces - a friend of a friend mentioned this event, so a good number of people I know have booked on.

We have in our party a fairly random selection of cars, of which I think only 1 is a Ford at present.

Cars include:

Boxster
2 x MR2
2 x Primera (yes, really!)
Nissan S15
Audi RS3
Another Porsche - can't recall which model.
330ci
EP3 Type R
E36 325i
205 Mi16
Audi 1.8t engined kit-car
Escort RS Cosworth
Maybe 130i

See you there.

Don't know where you're getting that from. My calendar says a week and seven days.

Hope the weather's like last year, really looking forward to it either way.

Dont know of anymore now, seems to be quite a few people wanting one too

Mind you, current forecast for the day is light snow, so maybe some more people will sell, lol

Hi everybody.

I've booked with John's group above. Hopefully the weather will hold out. Getting mixed reports at the minute.

The car will hopefully be coming on a trailer. Had experience with pushing a broken car on a track day out the entrance to get lifted home!

Really looking forward to a good day. Learn the car as I need to learn how to drive it. Learned my lesson on thinking I could drive and control a 1.3 pop MK2 Escort back in the day. Any mk2's coming on this track day?

Will have some cameras attached so hopefully get some good video's and data logging to use with Racerender software.

But if weather is bad, no point in taking the car as it's no fun driving it in snow or heavy rain. Have a roof but still not fun. Will keep an eye on the weather next week.

Metcheck is now saying little bit of rain but nothing major, and temps up into double figures, so no chance of any snow issues now by the looks of it

Only ever had 1 year off organising this event in 9 years and that as Chip rightly said was due to track work/repairs in 2007 if memory serves me correctly

Feel for you filled mine up which you should never do with a cozzie s and now I have issues and the garage can't suss it out. So might have to use the back up vehicle.
