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 One seat in the back (sticky) and My seat (on the right) a little closer to the pedals:D |

Cheers Simon !!!Right, must get them wheels and suspension sorted!!! |

He needs the handbrake disconnecting so he can learn how to drift using balance instead of crude diff destroying methods. ;):D
No DV's :( PMSL at the heightist comments :D |
Ta Dave :)

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!!!

5 More names needed...
I need 5 more names (minimum) for the Karting at Selby... on Thursday 29th.
Details on the www.WYIOC.co.uk WYIOC Events Forum... C'mon guys... :D |
Al - can you do a round up of who's committed (er, I mean, who's agreed to go...)? :D
|
No probs mate.. we have..
AlCook Kev_Turbo & Mrs Turbo Steve Simon Dan David & Helen Chris & Kath (bit of a ladies team appearing here!) Mick (Tony Reserve) Sticky Gary Thursday 29th April. Selby indoor Kart track starting at 7pm. Arrive at 6:30 for breifings. This is for the 2 1/2 endurance with 3 people per team. MINIMUM of 6 Teams for the track to ourselves. Hence we need 18 names min. £100 per team. More names = Cheaper fun. 8 teams Max. 4 per team max (this cuts down on driving time if any more) |
Al - just a thought, but would it be worthwhile starting a fresh thread for this, under a new heading? That might drum up some more interest. ;)
|
That was my next step mate. :D
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.. ;) |
Nice one Al - military background coming to the fore.... ;)
Supposed to be working, but SN on in the background.... :D:D:D |
put me down provisionally, I'll have to check work dates first.
should know in a day or 2 Phil |
OK Mate.. Done. :D
Moi Kev_Turbo Mrs Turbo Steve Simon Dan Dave Helen Chris Kath (bit of a ladies team appearing here?) Mick Sticky Gary Phil (Tony Reserve) BTW.. I'm just downloading some Mpegs of John Felstead at 'the ring'.. Got me right in the mood :D and I am really looking forward to the trip :D :D I'll have them linked up when the Forum is BOL. I'll also have them burnt to disk for showing on Dave's Laptop for the next meet.. |
for showing on Dave's Laptop for the next meet Supposed to be working 'the ring'.. Got me right in the mood |
Hi All, Hi Al
Is "Steve" me or Maddy. If it's moi then I've got 2 family members wanting to go Karting. If it's Steve R then there's 3 of us :D |
Al
Those JF mpegs are superb, he really does know his Nurburgring circuit! Certainly does wet the appetite. Doesn't get me in the mood though.... ;) Si |
Si - you're on early Mate..... :D:D:D
Dave - I was working - honest..... ;) |
Al, have you watched IT yet ? Did you enjoy it ?
|
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.. :rolleyes:
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..! |
Al,
So if it's raining there'll be nothing like lapping a wet 'ring and it'll be easier on the rubber as well ;):D The position of the ' is important to save you taking it the wrong way :eek: |
Al
I have said that I will come over at WYIOC!! Gonna ask my mate if he wants to come too!! Cheers J4CK50N |
HB, always early.... ;)
Andy, there you go lowering the town again.... ;):D:D Si |
Blimey Al - that'll give CB something to analyse. As well as providing a script for the next Carry On film..... :D
|
Simon, or even the tone... :D

Phil/Steve, the WYIOC forum is in trouble again.
No web site is configured at this address. 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? |
