I'm going too. Leaving Starthclyde Park area just after 7am and heading over via Kincardine. Taking extra petrol cans with me as I went through a tank and two cans in 3 hours a few week ago.
Hope there is a good turnout. See you all there. Last chance for video this year so if you want on camera just move over to the right and I'll get you on my driver's side camera :-) Over the winter months will put together stuff from the video done at this year's Knockhill track days.

No probs with pax laps in the smartie. Bit different to a Scooby though, you might need to get out and give me a push up the pit straight :-)
John
Dry weather? You been sacrificing children again, glad you didn't get Skye on IOM then.

LMW, do we take that remark to mean you will not be coming up after all?
Dougster, you going to be passing my way? I'll be taking the westie through for spectating duties
Is Scoty going to make it?

Not going to make it this time Robbie,
I have to go to my Aunties over the weekend to help her move house.
Have a good one peeps, and give the KH instructors one from me if they are there

Will be home from DK 8.30pm Friday night ? (Heli flights and fixed wings flights all being on time...) and my dear wife will have the car at Jim King's tomorrow to have the Falkland supplied DS2500 pads fitted, both front and rear. Slicks are booked and all I need now is 2 x 20 ltr gerry cans for additional fuel.
John S: Inverurie Auto body only have 10 ltr gerry cans in stock so if you can pick up the 20 ltr ones we discussed, I'll square you up on Saturday. That way we can both have plenty of fun in the slick shod Sti7 with fresh pads. Who else will be at the Esso garage on Sat Morn? Young Keith, Toby, etc???

Jools,
I was really looking forward to this last trackday but the brakes are so bad now that I'm going to have to stop driving the car till they are sorted [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] The suspension also seems to have given up again too so I'll be putting the car off the road for a while
I'm still planning on going to Knockhill only it will be in the Peugeot if it makes it there, so no track fun for me!!!

Alasdair,
How about the Pug makes it to Inverurie from Huntley and us heading down in the Sti. Looks like John S will come with me and we'll be meeting a few others at the normal Esso garage first thing I'm sure anyway. 6.15am I think. (Long as I get home OK, but that should be no probs)
Don't forget Paul's P1 on the drive...and the Westy is tucked up in the garage! Fancy a open top drive to KN??? Maybe I should ask Arlene to get it down to Jim Kings as well and get it serviced and set up on the rolling road just in case? Imagine the fun we could have if it's dry!

That sounds good I'm sure the Pug should make it to Inverurie. My mobile phones not working at the moment either so I'll try and see if I can catch up with you when you get home on friday night.

Pity you didn't make it to IOM but have some photos which I will bring along on Saturday.
Crush
Photos, yes please. You can have some pax laps in return, but don't get as comfortable as you did in it at Kames :-)

hi there
the gear box is in bits just now, as the synchros needing replaced. it has been a problem for few months now, but i need it done to enjoy driving the car fast again.
the gearbox will arrive on friday morning ( hopefully) after that it will be in AWD's hands to finish it in time !!
it is a bit tight, but will see.

never really used any excuses
but it is not a big turbo, it is just a turbo from an evo 6 which has got a bigger exhuast housing with a roller bearing conversion done to it.
my original turbo had a really small exhuast housing. i was actually loosing power the more boost it ran over 1.5

Jools - will collect the Jerry cans for you as requested.
Robin - 01764 662897 for Wheels Around and speak to Ronnie. He'll get you sorted out with the sticky stuff!
See everyone there.
Who all else is meeting at 6:15am at the Esso in Portlethen ?

Would love to come up, are there any more planned for this year John?
Or am I going to miss out?

Got the new DS2500 fitted to the Sti today and had the brake fluid changed out to dot 5. Anyone know what was in the car from new?
Just when Arlene thought she had done enough, regarding helping me get ready for KN, I passed on that the Westfield is booked into West High Street Garage for a service tomorrow ready for the track. If it is dry I'm planning taking the Westfield and the Sti, but my dear lady don't want to drive yellow mellow down the street! So, calling Shaun, Keith or Chuck to help a damsel in distress if you can...
John, would your insurance cover you to take my Sti down if I do take the little car as well?
Looking forward to Sat and meeting Skyenet & co. Bad deal about not making the IOM, but ready for KN.
