Looks stunning in white terry

Much prefer the white than black. Still looked great black mind! :smokin:

Im only 15 min from Donny so not sure ill get away with that one.... :whistle:


.........saying that you know what split arse are like....maybe I could drive round for a while and just tell her Donny is 200 mile away. :smokin:

You'd make a good politician Lawsy :smokin:

Car looks sweet Terry - be good to see you again mate :thumbs:

No problem :thumbs:

agreed , stunning :smokin:

Ditto

But the car desperate for a cornerweight :whistle:

Terry's lost weight since that picture.......:smt055

Shimmy, just heard from Gareth you are looking after him tomorrow, fantastic touch. Had great personnel service once again from Garth/Elms this morning.

Everyone have a ball tomorrow.

See everyone in morning )

Thanks for a great day enjoyed my first passenger ride on track and first crash all in 1 go / thanks Ken for that . Thanks to Shimmy for the invite and the trip round the track without the crashing part :thumbs:.

Steve

Which one were you :bigcry:

Great day :thumbs:

Craners is difficult

Drinking and talking sense is difficult (for me)

Gareth glad you enjoyed it:thumbs:

Terry cheers for the pax:thumbs:

Curly thanks for the pointers :smt055

Pictures would be nice :whistle:

+1 on all of these for me as well and cheers to Shane for the pax in the bullet and Shimmy Shumacher for sorting the digs out.

Good to see everyone - role on Silly :thumbs:

yep

Your welcome Ian. :beer:

Even though our day was cut short, I had a great day.

Good to see everyone again.

Black M3 garage 10,

Had good day finding limits of 888's 1st time in car on that set up (big thanks to Julian at Simpsons for set up)

Everyone looked like they enjoyed themselves )

With the f.o. Big rear wing?

Yep that's the one!!!

Does it work?

Didnt take many mate ...here is a couple.

Oh no Shim you are going to look a right james blunt with one of them ;)
yeah it was a good day at Donny yesterday sorry to hear about Lawsy getting turfed off, I was hoping for a passenger lap late on in the afternoon you were flying mate the cars a beast:thumbs: good to see the rest of the guys and CSL's were flying and I've got to say the big fella Shimmy was peaking :smokin:

Barry and Yanto did fantastic considering it was their first visit to Donny and the old warhorse wheels was flying the last hour, the shopper struggled a bit in the dry and the scalp bag was pretty light ;)

had a great day. nice to see/meet everyone.

no pics but took a couple of videos, will have a look later and post them if any good

looking forward to the next one, unfortunately cant make silverstone but will try and get to the next on :thumbs:

cheers

What a glorious day.....not a cloud, cool but sunny. Perfect.

So we had a night out on the Saturday in Melbourn. Beers and Curry with TerryB, Curly, Yanto, oNeill and his poor lady:bigcry:

ONeill drunk 2 beers which was one too many and didn't stop talking until 12 midnight, non stop. But luckily he only mentioned S2000s twice. Things are looking up.

Curly kept to his side of the bedroom which was unexpected but a relief, and luckily unlike NorthernJim he wears something in bed so no need for me to hide under the covers.

Sunday morning was cloudless and stayed so all day. Superb and made me ver y happy. There must have been 30 cars and 40 people there from CSLREGISTER, PureGT and OPL. About 8 CSLs, 5 m3, two RaceM3, 6 ShimmyRacing mx5, 964, Clio, mr2, GT3, GTR, Fiesta, EvoVIii, 6RS, Skoda Shopper etc etc. Great Turn out.

My day however didn't go to plan totally. Vibration on the way to Donny turned out to be a dodgy wishbone ball joint, heavy vibration under braking and knocking when turning. I decided to scale back the laps for the day but by 3pm id forgotten that rule and was putting in the miles.

Oneill was certainly quick on the pace. Managed to have a couple of sessions on track nose to tail with which was good fun. I think I only did 6 sessions on track. All 6 I had passengers however for the last one I dropped them off and went out for 5 laps 'empty' which was fun.

Giraffe and Tom turned up about 9am which was excellent. I told them to bully their way into any car they could and Giraffe managed to share with Ken in a 964 (not his car) which was duly stuck in the gravel and damaged by the recovery truck.

As for my laps, I have to say that pretty quickly the lap times were down to my best ever which was good. Then in the afternoon a few 1m20s came into view which was my target for the day. I never really had a perfect lap but was pleased its the day. I played with the Nitrons a little and NorthnJim and me had an episode on CRANERS where the back stepped out which we had to decipher. Popped into the pits adjusted the rear shocks and back out and all ok. (see Nitron thread for update).

I think overall I have improved on Old Hairpin to Coppice and maybe Redgate but was slower on Hollywood and CRANERS and maybe not as fast as I could be on Goddards.

So car survived, well didn't fall off, Nitrons learnt a bit more, lap times improved, Skodas and Mx5s spanked. Need to get two new wishbones and bushes me thinks.


Well done everybody, great day and role on Silverstone GP on Easter Monday 9th April (see members section for discount).

looked to be going pretty well when it came past me :whistle:

So no one missed me .....:bigcry: I can see where this is going , you fookers will book CD as much as you can now ! :birdman:, at least a couple of my spacers sneaked onto track without mr Hoey knowing !:hahaha:

I missed you.

I wont miss the video commentary.:smokin:

The spacers kept a low profile but we did clean them and wire wok them as they were encrusted with grit and grime in the copper grease.:supz:

In combination with front ironing board yes eliminates all under steer and oversteer really enjoyed chucking it everywhere even when 888's had gone off after couple of laps just need to be stickered up ready for timeattack )

Did you note your lap times at Donny?:whistle:

did you? come on scores on the doors:beer:



Sorry who are you???????????????:birdman::hahaha:

My best was 1m 20.67s last session. I didn't record the afternoon sessions other than this one for some reason but I remember a best at 2pm being 1m 20.8s so I don't think I bettered it.

Theoretical best 1m19.5 :smt055

My best in the Datsun.

1.19,07 that was before lunch- shame I didnt get out after lunch, I would have brought the lap times down a bit.

Not bad for out the box. I reckon there is a 1.16 in standard form.

If I fit rear roll bar and 285 tyres on front I reckon in the 1.15-1.16 area.

The thing was fucking epic- but fuck me does it like a drink on track:whistle:

1:20.8 was with me wasn't it? :thumbs: going well you were:beer:

:thumbs:1:20.8 was when we were pushing/pulling one and other along and you had big Jim in. My best was 1:21.27 following you, but the data is suspect.

Big Jim and those specs gotta be worth half a second :)

:birdman:

should have heard curly on the pit wall - he's got no sympathy for anyone...



"........general chit chat about all things tight and northern......" then a csl goes past


Curly's ears twitch " He's coasting, wasting time, he's not got it.....anyway back to all things dibnahesque........."



I'm not saying it was you of course:whistle:

!!
 

hes a nasty man!:smokin:

:hahaha: Nice one jimbo,i was talking about Alex coasting to the cafe:whistle::smokin:

I didn't have anything that day........................:smt089:smt089
