Anyone going to the track day this Sunday at Donington Park?
I wouldn't mind going if I can get the time off.
-
Me and Shaun (geordie56) are there, we have a garage :happy2:

Ah. Nice one, I wouldn't be on my own :-)
Neil, would it be possible to leave a jerry can in the garage and maybe a couple of other little bits and bobs? I wouldn't mind chipping in for the privilege. :happy2:
-
No problem mate, be good to see you.
Dont know the Garage number, you won't miss us :happy2:

Yeah, hope the weather is good to us. :happy2:

What time are people heading down? I'm not going on track but thinking of coming a ride over to watch and say hello :smiley:
-
I hope to be there for 8 at the latest.
-
I can lend Rich a Hero 3 but have no suction mount. Has any one got a suction mount he can borrow? :drinking:

Also Matt, do you want me to pass a US plug adapter to Rich? I don't think I can make it, got family visiting after returning from the sandpit

How did the track day go lads. :happy2:
-
Fantastic.
What a great group of lads to meet. :happy2:
Weather was great if a little cool. Plenty of track time, even though loads of incidents (from others might I add)
The full GP circuit is really good. Couldn't believe how fast the track is.
Donington was as good as I'd imagined :happy2:
-
Good stuff. :smiley: Donny is on my list to do this year. It is just a bit too expensive in the summer. I am hopefully going to do one of the evening sessions up their. :driver:
Did Neil M's boost pipes stay on for the whole day. :popcornsoda:

Ha. That's one of the reasons why I booked it. Full GP circuit. Always wanted to do Donington (done it on two wheels) good price and the weather forecast was good.
Yeah, he didn't have no probs with boost pipes. Ask him about a pheasant though.

Was good to meet you all yesterday. Sounds like you had a good day. I must say all your cars look and sound awesome :happy2:

Hi Lads, had a good day at Donington, even managed the whole day on one Cam Follower :wink: Although, I did take out a Pheasant coming out of McLean's, little F@#ker cracked my carbon bonnet!!
Some footage just about hanging onto the back of Shaun's epic motor, and getting caught up in The Italian Job, sorry Rich only got a bit of you at the end of the straight, sounds great though :happy2:
Neil
-
Great footage Neil :happy2:
Think I may have to get a go pro, the quality of video is really impressive.
-
Yep, had a cracking day good to see you again neil and meet you rich and matto. Hopefully see you next month! Ive just been on to daveb however as on inspection after the day my discs and pads are goosed so need to fork out for another set! Hmmm expensive before the year carrys on.

Blimey Shaun. Gotta pay to play though eh pal :signLOL:
Yours and Neil's cars looked stunning, sounded stunning and looked pretty damn fast.
Let me know which/when/where you book next will you?
If and when I can, I'll join you :happy2:
-
Thats a bummer Shaun, you going for the same set up?
Just ordered Millers CFS 10w50 NT change of Oil and new pads all round, and so it beings :happy2:
Got to take her for her 'special' MOT Monday, fingers crossed.
-
Cheers rich , thats it unfortunately having to pay is the killer! Think im going for same rotors neil as they have lasted a lot of abuse to be fair and been really good! Then im changing the pads to possibly go with project mu endurance which will be an excellent choice and last even longer. :happy2:

Are the Mu's a lot more expensive Shaun?
If you do try them out, I'd be interested to know your thoughts.
Although, I was very impressed with the Pagids on Sunday :happy2:
You any videos uploaded yet?

Heres a quick vid, need to fast forward it a bit from the start thouh as I haven't had chance to edit it. :happy2:

-
Yes pal it was mounted on the rollcage for footage. :happy2:
