Who's going to Dono this Sunday? It's fully booked, I know that!

 

Hi,

I went last Sunday and although there were only 20 or so cars on track it was great (to watch).

Couple of P1s were there and a Challenge 355 and a fantastic Lancia Stratos (replica?) - who care it looked superb.

I cannot make Donnon on Sunday as I am at the Curbourgh Sprint Circuit.

PS Have fun.

PPS It is always very cold and windy at Donno......

 

Will be there.

 

I didnt find it so cold there last Sunday and it was nice out on track not being overcrowded.

 

If anyone wants to go on track Sunday - sixspeed@btinternet.com has a place up for grabs

e mail him asap

I'll be there in me humble mk2 Golf

 

The little westi will be there.

I think Mr Oz will also pay a visit in the ring taxi

Ian.

 

and you will find me in the westie at some point in time.

 

John,

have you got any pics of your camera(s) yet ???

Yesterday was sooooo much fun. I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever actually get on with our XTR2 on track. I was convinced I'd never have the ability to drive the thing at any near reasonable pace - but at last - its finally coming together .

Yesterday was the best time I've spent at dono in ages - a great group of friendly happy people on track:

Me, Craig and Mr Felstead in the XTR2
Redkop in her black Escort Cossie
Andy in his Black RS 500
My brother in is part complete 205 stage car
Mellow turns up with a Westi Cossie Turbo just for fun.

Special thanks to Dingy for help out with prepping the car on Saturday (and welding his **** into the passenger seat for the start of the afternoon session - I think he was enjoying it ).

Big thanks to all the people who stopped by to say hello, Shaun, Jase and Chez, Matt 'ringtaxi' Oz, ScoobyLou and the rest of you. And many of my non-scoobynet chums who got strapped into the 'victim' seat for some time on the track.

Roll on Easter monday.



Ian.

Erm...Easter Monday.... ???

Pray tell

 

I think thats the next dono public day m8

you sorted that fuel reg out yet ???

Ian.

 

No worries Ian

We still need to finish it off



Loved the rides, more so with Si, my kinda driver

 

Damn, I didn't go as I thought it was going to rain!

****, I'll never scrub these new tyres at this rate

 

I got a good view of the XTR2 stationary on the grass (facing the wrong way) just after Mcleans as I went past... Apart from that it looked pretty impressive at times.
Anyone get any pics of me? Blue Scooby, standard spoiler on the back.

 

Hmmm,

Now I wonder who was driving at the time? Any ideas?

John? John?

 

I might have one of you outside pit garage - is this it?

 

What a fab day!

Ian, Craig - what a very cool car! I'm really glad I came up, I've never experienced anything like it... my ears are still ringing! I wonder what you guys will be up to this summer?! It was great to meet you both, I've read so many of your posts on here, fantastic to be able to pop up and say hi!

Matt - good to see you again too, what a beast (the M5) Maybe see you at the ring in May, although in returning to student life money may not permit!

John - eagerly awaiting your "few words", vids and pics!

Lou

 

I don't recall going on the grass either

 

Nope, not me - I've got one of the classic shapes. There were two dark blue ones out there on track. Mine was the one with the standard mid-level spoiler and 7-spoke wheels. And a 'normal' number plate (X***ERB)

 

No I don't recall going on the grass.

Saying that, I don't recall being run over - do you Ian?

Lou was nice to meet you too - sorry it was cut short

Good day though

 

*whistles*

I'll be back with a proper write up later.

 

John,

"Going on the grass" was the best bit, that took some real talent. Take no notice, they don't know what they're missing

 

yeh, it took 3 oposite lock pendulems on the exit of that corner to achieve that perfect positioning. LOL

 

Is that why you told us to paint it Flymo orange John?

 

LOL

CanAm McLaren Orange is my prefered colour, although i think Stealth mode looks awesome!

 

Bugger,

Now i know who most of you are, had a good wander up and down the pit lane ( when not thrashing around the track ) but didnt get to talk to many Scooby drivers

Did see the Carbon car on the track behind me a few times though.

Nigel

BTW I was in the Silver Classic Scooby J?? WRX

 

Ooooh John thats my car parked on the right Where did you you get to leaving The Paddock. I went everso slowly too Lou was with us....where did you go?

Oooops edited to say on the left

You were going slow! I thought those Cossie's are supposed to be fast?! I passed you on the M1 as I think you were just about to turn off, I waved but you didn't see me! John turned off just before that 7 mile A road to the M1. Thanks for taking it easy on the way out.

Hope the work on the car goes to plan, I look forward to seeing the raging monster when it's done!

Lou

 

Lou will be the first and last time you pass us was worried as to where you were....was killing me going that slow BTW was really nice meeting you!

 

It was good to meet you too!

Maybe after your conversion I'll be a converted Cossie driver... but, nah, I doubt it

 

Lynne it won't be the last time Lou passes you - she'll be in the Westie again soon
