Stephen 26-08-10 11:44 AM

Wish i was going guys ! Newcastle is awsome though, but if anyone wants to get me in newcastle feel free!:lovers:

BUCKYDEVIL 26-08-10 08:46 PM

Well the Rain stayed away and the sun even came out which was a big suprise to the southern visitors, Tracey and I had a great night and would like to thank Ross for taking us out on the track, I would love to have went out in the ZS VVC but the night was cut short when a fiesta met a tyre wall. Great to meet new people from the forum to put faces to the names.
The 110 sandwich.

Can only echo Marcus brilliant night great to meet Ross George and Alan not to mention jack goff who took me out in george's car and managed not to kill both us the occupants of the m3 the bloke who spun the caterham and georges mental vvc powered zs on the exit of the chicane amazing control and also good to catch up with some of our local members.

peterzs 26-08-10 09:10 PM

Feel quite left out, us poor southern lot, sounds like you had a lot of fun.

Pity about the Fiesta, no one wants to end up on the end of a tow rope. Looks like a few ???'s to get that straight.

:bow::bow::bow::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Smokey 26-08-10 09:34 PM

Yup was a great night tonight. Good catching up with familiar faces and nice to meet some new guys as well.

Cheers Ross for letting us go round the track with you, will get the vid up soon.

And thanks to everyone who attended.

KevG 26-08-10 09:50 PM

Good Pics Marcus, yeah it was a good night, just wish if I did actually think about it, I would have got my track wheels and go out on track too.

h8_2lose 26-08-10 10:29 PM

Was good to see the cars,maybe a ride along next time :thumbsup:
Alhough after watching the cars has just made me want a faster car. :hmmm:

MG6Turbo 27-08-10 10:08 AM

Hello.

Thanks to all those who attended, was a good night even though it was cut short by the fiesta.

Glad everyone enjoyed themselves.

For anyone down South, Ross, Jack Goff and I will be at Donington Park this sunday where Jack and Ross will be out in the Zs`s and I will be out in the M5

Cheers for the comments, and hope to see you all again soon.

George

just a couple of snaps i took

Supercharged_Z 27-08-10 06:37 PM

Howdo's guys. just got in

nice to meet you all yesterday, i had a good time despite the brake problems which diddnt really cause any problems on track.

I hope you enjoyed the passenger laps to those who i took out, sorry if the car was a bit noisy lol, i never really set it up as you saw, i just tweeked the suspension at the start to be a bit stiffer and left it... i certainly felt i got faster towards the end. the car performed faultlessly but i could feel the tyres going off after 2 or 3 laps

Again nice to meet you and thanks for comming by..

P.S sorry KEVG i felt really bad not being able to take you out, the car is far to low, i looked at the tyres this morning and there is a few signs of rubbing which im hoping to sort for donny on sunday :)

Ross

daveronimo 27-08-10 08:44 PM

You trying to say I'm a fat git........




Seriously though, No problem dude, I had a look at your seats and I thought I wouldnt get my ass in, next time put a normal seat in for me!!! :)

Smokey 27-08-10 09:17 PM

well when I get buckets, you'll need to check them out for comfort Kev.

Have to say Ross, those seats were a tight squeeze for me too!

Stephen 27-08-10 09:43 PM

Looked like it was a good time!

Sorry i missed it guys, wont miss the next one!

Also looked like XPG was out in force!!

GTMSpyder 27-08-10 10:08 PM

I thought you were quite rude TBH, I thought you might have came over and at least said "hello" before you helped you mate on his first track night, but hey that's just me!
