The biggest problem I can see would be the hammer the car would get if 8 people were thrapping it round a track constantly. Obviously with our own cars last time they had plenty of opportunity to recover from the three/four/five laps after every session. If you've got one car coming in then going straight out again things could get very hot / worn very quickly.
I could buy one myself and rent it out to you guys
what would you be willing to pay for a guaranteed hour or two of killing someone else's motor? Just a thought.
CG... Noooooooooooooo.
Try this little experiment in the scooby, using a stopwatch...
Put the car in first gear and set off using just the clutch, no accellerator...
Dip the clutch
start the stopwatch
slot her into second
wait until the stopwatch reaches around 12 seconds
quickly release the clutch in a very uncomfortable lurch...
Repeat until bored
Then cancel the order for the rollerskate

Ok, in light of the busy year ahead, I am inclined to agree that a trip to somewhere like the Nurburgring would be better suited to next year. A few reasons why:

!!!Right, must get them wheels and suspension sorted!!!
Bl00dy hell, 3 pages in 12 hours...
Ok, in light of the busy year ahead, I am inclined to agree that a trip to somewhere like the Nurburgring would be better suited to next year. A few reasons why:
- Al will have time to convince his wife that a T25 should be their next car
- Gives many people (me included) this year to sort wheels/suspension/brakes, etc.
- Planning for a sizeable group to do a run like this probably does require about 12 months to plan anyway. Let's get it right!
- We seem to have plenty to be getting on with this year anyway!
- These monthly meets seem to come round so fast, spring/summer next year will fly by
- Plenty of time to extract track information from a few Nurburgring video files I have and compile some pace notes
It is nice to know where to brake from 155mhp, into a slow corner. Well pointed out Phil!
Cheers
Simon

any of you guys at well lane when the tyne tees club had their rolling road day? looking at some of your pics from your last meet... noticed some cars that i had seen there that day! new age black & silver imprezas with all the rally art work done on them are obviously something else - who are the owners? blue is the most 'common' colour of the new imprezas - they all look the same!!! BUT everyone knows... CLASSICS RULE!!!

That was my next step mate.
I wanted to get the WYIOC members in first, so I was going to wait until tommorrow evening when a few more would have seen it.
If I still haven't got the names, I'll post a wider thread..

Oops.. I didn't take into consideration the 'depraved' thoughts coming from some 'Old leather Pickers'. A person can't even write a perfectly sensible line without the Fnarr, Fnarr's.. deary me.. 
Well i'm feeling quite gay on this lovely sunny morning and I'm going to put one up the missus by talking about my ring fascination. She'll be on all fours again crying as I push forward my point that this ring visit will the most fun I've had since I showed her that video of my last ring fascination.
Steve. That's you. As for Maddy Steve, I haven't got any confirmation... yet..
Unless everybody pulls out ( ) then I'll be booking the track and geting the names over the next few weeks.. shouldn't be aproblem..
So class the event as booked' and on..
Si.. I'll be downloading the others to checking out the track a bit more... it won't help of course, but they are good to watch..!

Phil/Steve, the WYIOC forum is in trouble again.
Can't get there with either link from WYIOC or direct bookmark?
Al, I think we're due an April meet thread. Unusual one though with the karting bit. I suppose we're all gonna tank it back to Fenay after the race for the last pint and a nod to the non-karters if there's time?
