Who's going as I'm looking for passenger rides!

I'll be there in my Octavia vRS but I'm not tracking it as it will still be being run in.

Cheers

Steve

Not me. Although I treated my gearbox 'tenderly' the last couple of trackdays at Dono - it decided to let go on me totally there last Saturday

I don't give a ff for your opinion Craig so kindly butt out, you last saw me on track 6 months ago with a much slower car - so you aren't in a position to voice an opinion are you - eh?

I heard that you had turned into a really boring person Craig.... seems what I heard is right.

Please keep this thread on topic as per thread title - it would be a shame for Steve if it has to be locked.

Maybe Chris, it's the RSOC AGM at The Thistle Hotel @ East Midlands Airport the same day, so will try and get along to Dono depending on what time it finishes.

Sorry, I didn't get there last Friday..... too much work Would have liked to have seen your new beastie.

Are you booked on chris, will be popping over in the afternoon so wouldn't mind a look @ the mk 2.

Lynne is getting faster on track, everyone has to learn.....4x4 box's don't break from being a pussie with them.

Had the MK2 set up today after the engine loosened up since full rebuild....1st run as it was (i.e; how it was at Donnington last Friday ) 154bhp @ wheels...then after safely advancing (28 degrees) 7% fuelling near the top (7-8500 rpm's) further cam adjustment (Holbay 365 (bet very few have heard of that one ! ) to finish at 194bhp @ the wheels and although we weighted the rear down it was slipping in the rollers .....Cadwell on Saturday
