So it might be up for sale :thumbs:

[s.mac]

booked and paid for, fingers crossed its drier than today! it was monsoon like.

Lawsy had me twitching a bit flying into corners with A048's on :whistle:

Lawsy I knew we were OK coming out of them sideways but I could just see the back end coming round on braking. Also not good when you cant see that much with the rain and I mean not much.They closed the track it was that bad....
Managed to see quite a few off's in the few laps we had :whistle:

Lawsy, car's looking mint and drives well too :thumbs:

[s.mac]

I only popped over to see Lawsy's wrap, I was there for a couple of hours and he took me for a spin, sorry passenger lap, he had his spin earlier ;)

no joke it was like a monsoon, I ended up saying, you can go in for me mate, if I couldn't see I'm sure he couldn't :hahaha: apart from the cars you could see spinning off... then the red flags and lights went on.... phew I think Lawsy would have just stayed out :whistle:

The wrap is good, I took a couple of pics on my iphone but wont post unless Shane gives me the nod :whistle: the car is a track weapon, brakes, wheels,tyres (more dry than wet tyres), seats & harnesses, it is looking well :thumbs:

I have however decided against a wrap for now, maybe later, its defo the way for a track car but I don't want to stand out too much when I'm just loitering round and about ;)
I still want to protect the paint so now I need to find a ventureshield installer in the north... plenty in the south :banghead:

[s.mac]

before Lawsy rips into me, the spin was due to oil on the track and plenty of it ;)

and it was a no drama spin just one for the cameras that were located on the bend :hahaha:

[glendog74]

booked and paid for

Awesome news Steve - get straight back on that horse ;)


Lawsy, car's looking mint and drives well too :thumbs:

Looking forward to seeing the Lawsy mobile in its latest incarnation :thumbs:

As steve says a few fine details finishes it off.

I had stickers made that I placed on the track seat side mounts, csl stickers for centre caps, all in the yellow. Just to tie everything in together. :thumbs:

[mattCSLnut]

Yellow calipers would have really made it stand out and look COOL :supz: IMHO. ;)
Dramatic change from the previous White wrap :whistle:

[shimmy]

I think FE only sell on the day!

[flatout]

Got back home not too long ago and still buzzing :) great track definately one to add to my annual list of track days.

Great to meet all yous again, really had a great time :beer: :beer:

As with s.mac I too had some educational laps with dontdobends albeit with 30 minutes left... cheers Steve for that :thumbs:

[s.mac]

funniest part of the day, flatout not thinking where he was, braked for a chicane didnt realise where he was and came back on himself on the closed smaller track, ended up on the grass turning round to go the right direction

going into Hisslops and went back into fosters :hahaha:

[s.mac]

I think FE only sell on the day!

:(

[shane@mbtech]

:beer::beer: Good to meet up again lads, had a good day,

Cheers John for showing me a few errors of my ways, felt like a right terwat with you in the car, was really nervous for some reason, and drove like a fookin plank. But put what you said into practice and it seemed to help. Bad habits are easy to keep when you have no guidance. So thanks:beer:

Highlight of the day for me was Piloting my mates Caterham r535 superlight, the best car I have ever driven by a long way. Cant wait to get my MK Indy on track now. :smokin:


Oh I had a great few laps with Alex in with me, some serious drift angles through cascades and most other corners too.

[3wheels3]

Don't listen to that dontdobends john bloke...he tells everyone the slow way at druids just so he can duff you up. You have been warned.

Wish I'd been there now.

[glendog74]

Great day - good to see some friendly faces and the weather was a lot better than planned :thumbs:

Thanks to Curly for giving me some superb instruction, thanks to Steve for letting me drive his CSL & thanks to Jim (northernjim) for making me look good :thumbs: :hahaha:
