Hello people.

First off, sory for you not getting the oportunity to have a run in my car at donington, turbo blew big style......

I picked up a brand new turbo yesterday so will be back up and running very soon. God i'm skint

I will be doing a track day at Brands Hatch on Wednesday 29th November (my birthday, hint, hint ) so if any of you who wanted a run at donington can make that day, you are more than welcome.

I am going to be away from thursday morning till monday, so dont expect a reply during that time.

Hope to see you there.

john

Hey John,
Nice to see you have managed to sort the problems out.
Just out of interest, who is organising BH?

Damn! I'll be sailing round the British Virgin Islands then, so I'll miss the chance.

Can't make it to Brands.
Maybe another time?

Yet again, I find myself with the problem of whether I can trust my driver to perform to the high standard required on the forest stages. If he is too scared to ride in a little rollerskate on a wide open bit of tarmac, surely he is far too weak to drive flat out around blind bends in forest ?

John,
Glad to hear things are back up and running. Any further work done on chargecooling side of things ? I won't make Brands (pressure of work etc.) but no doubt catch up soon for a blat.

Cheers

Ian

I'm glad the Westfield is running again John.

Brands Hatch is a bit far for me to travel but I'll see you again soon no doubt.

Have a great birthday.




Andrew.

bugger! Brands is my nearest track and I'm probably going to be in manchester on the 29th, would have loved to have a ride after hearing so much about your wee beastie.

BTW - 29th is my brothers birthday as well, so he won't be too impressed if I'm not around

I think John is trying to set a new record for number of replies to a post

Wish I could take you up on that offer.

Brothers birthday is part 2 of the excuse, first part is that I'll probably be in rochdale, gotta run a training course up there for two days, and guess when one of the days is, yup, 29th!

Plus I doubt work would be too happy about me taking the 29th off anyway, we;ve got a new product due for release on 30th so things are, umm, hectic, to say the least.

Jon,

I'm thinking of taking the scoob to Brands on the 29th, but while I'm there it would be great to be properly scared by you.
Any restrictions, as I'm 6ft3 and only have an open face lid, so I may be a bit of a wind break in a westie?

I'll be travelling down on tuesday Chris, staying in London.

Size isnt a problem, it's amazing what you can get to fit inside a westfield.

Open Faced Helmet, hmmmmm, do you like nose bleeds?? LOL
