Guess they preferred to go shopping with the missuse

Hope you get it sorted.
Good stuff so I should be driving then ...

Phil, the 9th is saturday mate. Even TV types get saturdays off, they just film it on a friday and make us believe it's saturday Clever effects 'n that

Apologies for my inattendance over on your site. I don't get on the web as much since we moved, as I have to go up to one of the bedrooms instead of just perching the lappy on the edge of the sofa whilst ignoring Emmernation Street I tend to just visit my CP on here, a quick troll through Gen & NSR and then have to rejoin my loved one (if CG isn't in ). As a special favour though, I'll go now and make a few posts

Hope you can make it Phil

Oops !

Was just in a store and rummaged in my jacket pocket for something, and what came out with the something.....only the bl00dy cheque for the deposit on the track

Phoned Howard to apologise and confirm the date was still secure, and all is fine, phew !

Howard will be there on the day, so if anyone was considering tuition, he's da man Can't recommend him highly enough :

Well, someone had to do it, and there's no sign of Dazza. (I think he's still strapped to that Saturn V in the Abbey ad )

BTTT.

Come on guys, still some places left. Much better than spending the day being dragged around a shopping centre by the missuse

Cool

OK, let's sort some final details out.

Getting there

As before, we will travel down in a convoy. This time we will set off from The Trading Post (WYIOC monthly meet venue) at 7.30am The route takes us along the M62 east to J35, M18 south to J5, M180 east to J3 then right onto the A18, right onto the A159 and down to the Optimax station. Then straight down to Blyton and left onto the B1205. We should be there by 8.30, so allowing for the briefing and final payment, we should be on track no later than 9.30am.

Tuition

As yet no-one has signed up for tuition Howard himself will be there on the day to offer his 35+ years of international rallying experience, and I'm sure those who've done it before will confess that it is an eye opener how bad many of us drive, and how quickly you improve under expert guidance. The cost is £150, equally split between those who'd like to try.

Just come across this thread while surfing the Net at work.... Dont tell
the boss

Would there possibly be room for a midlands outsider on this trackday?

I know I've left it a bit on the late side but I only just stumbled across
this thread.

If its to late I'll have to catch the next one.

Cheers Shimy.

Shimy. Not too late mate, I'll pop you down as unconfirmed. It's a bit late maybe for sending a deposit, so pay in full on the day. Feel free to bring any Midlands Scooby's along, or perhaps just any friends or family to spectate.

No, I've got to ask.. Sorry mate, no offence at all.. It'll bug me for days..No, weeks.

Did you do a typo when typing in Shiny Type R? And felt it looked good after you noticed and kept it?

If we could get 5 for the tuition (So a measly £30 each), then I will be up for being taught how to driver proper-loike once again!

What? You forgotten already?

Mind you, after Dave's comments about Howard's driving skills, I'm tempted myself, just for the opportunity to watch the guy in action.

Dazza could do with some tuition too, methinks

Oh, and Jon C...

I can't see there being a problem with turning up a bit later. Looks like there'll be a space or two free still.

Unhappy

My car is still at Scoobyclinic being repaired. If they manage to get it finished I might be able to get down during the week but it will wipe out half a day (getting train down) and work commitments at the moment will probably prevent this.

So at this moment in time it is looking very doubtful at the moment.

Damian.
