Well i had a great day - it was excellent fun Everyone behaved on track which helped make it the best fun i've had in a car for a while. Sign me up for the next session please



Who was driving the red MR2? I came across that pointing the wrong way a couple of times


Mervil - gutted for you. If there is anything i can do to help just shout. Just think she will be bigger and better soon!

Well done boys, a cracking day on track

Weather spoilt things a bit, 1st light shower then ok then **** down.
But it did make for some interesting driving skills

Dyl4n do you know any way but flat out

Some mentally quick cars like the little starlet and the L plated Lancer,**** they were quick.

Mervil,totally gutted for you mate,,If nobody knows it was just before lunch,raining a bit when yellow flags are waved.Mervil ,who had done a few sessions allready gets towed in.
Oil all over the windscreen washer bottle area. Engine was knocking ,does'nt look good.

If i can be any help pm me mate .Hope you get things sorted ok.
A nice 2.5 would fit very well indeed.

Had a great day despite the rain! Big thanks to The Moose and Dylan for my co-drives, loved every second of them. You boys were flying fair play, don't think i'd have kept up! Time to ring out my trousers and jacket now, damn that rain!!

Gutted for Merv, been there myself and it's not nice to say the least.
Still i'm sure she'll be back better than ever Merv!

Thanks to Calvin, everyone in the club, and all at Llandow for a great day. Looking forward to Ellis' photo's now.

Had a great day out with the Scooby boys Thanks for making my son Dave (Starlet) and I (Evo two) welcome. My car, was breathing heavy still goes well though she will be getting a set of E9 pistons and rods soon then I can crank up the boost Think the rain may have been a blessing in disguise as She was is still ok. Boy that Starlet goes for a 1300 Some great cars too, and nice to meet the few of you. Good track manners today as well and that always makes for a better day. Sorry to hear of Mervs mishap hope you get it back together soon mate.

Yes as said a great day out.... shame about the rain but it did not spoil the day, well done Calvin

Gutted for you Merv 2.1 is the way for me, that's if you don't do a strong 2.0 build

Some closet drivers about.... I think the Taxi driver impressed me the most today

Thats the attitude you need! Good boy Merv, don't let it get you down. Those 2.1 engine tuner stroker kits do look the biz. Don't rush though, take a week to sit back and way up all the options and make the right decision.

Its been a great day guys. Thanks to Calv for organising this event, I didnt mind the rain, its just a way to test your skills.

Good to see some top driving from Dylan and for a standard STI RA, quality.

Roll on the next one I say and by then I should have my Suspension properly setup, I have way to much understeer.
