Where you out on track?

04 plate sg?

[SpineOnABap]

I meant to pop over but have been playing poker instead - was on a good run and didn't want to interrupt it :thumbs:

[windy]

Well I had a hilarious day in the wet! Span off twice, black-flagged once, but ended up driving much smoother by the end of the day (thanks to my Kumho passenger)

Apologies for holding up the CSL... didn't spot you till you'd tried to climb into my boot.

It was me in the sg csl with black wheels, S 14WSY. The one armed monkey:thumbs:

Ha, SORRY, I did come up on you very very quickly.

Did you catch my slide on camera towards the end? I thought i saw you filming next to your car?

[windy]

Yeah mate, funny story actually. We were up there on the off chance of seeing someone lose it, and one of the silver Evo's went sideways, then you, but nothing major, so we went straight out and did a pirouette. If only we'd chucked a camera inside.. the two of us were in stitches!

Knew I should have left Ant up there with the camera!

So yeah, I got some sideways shots of ya!

Will load 'em up when I get home tomorrow mate.

I thought you had a camera, i was showing off a bit ya see, in the hope that your were snapping away on my cool down lap.

Your m3 looked tidy, you were going ok too,

I was amazed that i didnt lose it once. Had a few nice slides, few little bottom twitching moments through druids, but tbh it took it all in its stride, it was my first time out in the csl and when it started drying out my setup was simply awesome.

Roll on the next one.

You should have come say hello.:thumbs:

[windy]

I only did the afternoon, so didn't have much downtime. Headed over once but you guys seemed a bit busy.

Wasn't as bad as I thought, though turning DSC off was a laugh! Wish I had that bloody M button!

Had a nosey at some of the track photos of my car and you could park a bus under my wheelarches with the amount of roll I was getting!

Must sort my suspension at some point. Oh, and my seats are officially pants!

[Jaw_F430]

Where you out on track?

04 plate sg?


No I didn't go on track today just popped up to watch but didn't stay too long. I parked next to the 04/54 plate CSL

I was going to come over to say hello but your garage was full of people.

[shane@mbtech]

No I didn't go on track today just popped up to watch but didn't stay too long. I parked next to the 04/54 plate CSL

Ha, yeh, my girlfriends family came for the day, quite a few of my family turned up, my brothers mates turned up, my business partners family were there. And a lot our friends. And all of their kids. Think we had a bigger pit crew than most f1 teams.:hahaha:
My misses made sandwiches/drinks etc for us all, thats why my c class estate was parked in the garage, more like a mobile sandwich van;)

You should of come over, and grabbed a bite to eat and say hello, there was enough food to feed 5000.:thumbs:

[windy]

Haha! Yeah, noticed the crew with ya!

Anyway, at least you were out there giving it some unlike the other 2 CSLs... pair of girls :hahaha:

Gotta say, there's always more CSLs parked up than being tracked when I've been to Oulton...

[shane@mbtech]

:birdman::hahaha: . . . . . the other CSL (04/54) did go out on track, just mine that was show "n" shine:blalalala::gayfight:

He was going very slowly though;)

[glendog74]

Who was the other CSL? :whistle:

[shane@mbtech]

Who was the other CSL? :whistle:

Not sure, he did not say hello,

Im not mocking him, could have been his first time out etc etc.
And it was very wet, not very confidence inspiring tbh, a few very slippy parts in the wet esp druids

I was on a048 which in the wet i could get no heat in at all, but was still doing ok.

Dontdobends said hello, was nice chatting to you:thumbs:

[glendog74]

Not sure, he did not say hello,

[glendog74]

Did not time myself tbh, it was that wet i was not bothered.

Although, got 1 or 2 flying dry laps at the very end whilst taking a can of whopass to a caterham 7.
I'll be well below 2 mins (1.55-1.57 ish) no probs on an all dry day.

Very very impressed with my csl, The grip in the dry with my setup was awesome. My big brake kit were superb all day. Clubsports were awesome.

[windy]

Managed to get some shots fired off while we had a coffee break... didn't take the camcorder this time though.

I think you guys would be faster on a048 m/h compound than the cups.

Would be good to do a back to back test.:thumbs:

I might pop along to the csl trackday at oulton see how the a048 compare to the cups.

[Curly]

Lol - nothing at all - just know that you and Curly associate! ;)

Lawsy mentioned the speed of the other CSL :whistle:

lawsy are you thinking about going on BMW Car Club day at Donny? Glen-snoopdog's going, it'll be a good day & a laugh, hopefully dontdobends if he dares to step out wit' csl'ers :thumbs: , shimmy aswell.

Have you got info on ao48's, sizes and prices? How many days would you reckon etc. Am interested in running something different to cups which are a lot of dosh.

[Radders]

fantastic day, sorry i didnt have time to come and chat to everyone as we had company in the form of some professional tuition and wanted to get value for money.

Lawsy can drive the nuts off his CSL and credit to him :beer: (Sorry didnt know anyone else was there)

the rain made the day very interesting and i eventually found some grip from the 888's we were using by applying some new driving techniques.

off again in a few days and at cadwell this saturday :supz:

[Curly]

whooooo pocket rocket ;) I've got a big enough target on my back with that Glen snoop doggy shit!! trying to have a dig :whistle: he's the first on the list for getting the shoulin treatment at Donny :hahaha:

[windy]

Shame whoever brought the Lambo left it parked up in the garage in the afternoon.

I did notice you were a bit swifter in the afternoon, i would have played more, but we had a queue of passengers to take out, my mum included:shock:

Was a really good day, It was a learning curve for me as well,. first time out in the csl. It was awesome.

[shane@mbtech]

Ahhh sorry did i upset you............ :gayfight:

It was only on your arse until you moved outa my way...

These slow m3's eh:birdman::birdman:

My mum was in the passenger seat at the time, she was asking why that m3 was going so slow compared to mine, she asked if it was broke.:whistle::whistle:

Ha only joking:beer:, you were going well mate, you were certainly a lot faster than most out there. You were also quite a bit quicker than the 04 plate csl out earlier in the day..

Besides its all about fun, You enjoyed yourself?, because i know i did:supz::beer:

Whatever. That's the lap that my mum was driving. Surprised it took you a whole lap to catch up :gayfight:

Yeah mate, had a top day. I had my mate along (Kumho racer) to show me the lines, end eventually egg me on to try and drift every bend... pity I can't drift at speed, hence the field ploughing and black flags (2 of 'em, and a stern finger-pointing off one of the marshals)

Radders, was that you who got lost then? Just after we watched Lawsey lose it trying to catch up with that Volvo :hahaha: we saw a black 4-door go straight on (bottle it?...:whistle:) at the chicane... twice. There was a yellow caterham thing playing follow-my-leader as he went straight on too!

Ha, Ha

That volvo was class, he was not that fast but the flat cap on the rear parcel shelf was a great touch.

I seen a few people doing this, I done it on my cool down laps to keep out of peoples way flying through the chicane.

You looked like you were enjoying it anyhooo.

Im thinking of booking on later in the month on a weekday, 18th i think, anyone up for it??

Cheers for the pics windy:beer:

[windy]

No worries mate... I may be contacting you with a business proposition shortly... :beer:

Just picked these up off PH. They show what lovely weather we had!
