  5. From the other thread, cast in order of appearance on the other thread. Saturday 7th October Wasso Keyser SuperStu Beb Sunday 22nd October nissanman312 grumpyoldjanner GeorgeB MarkSt If we can get to 8 there is the possibility of two dates, dependent on Millbrook's availability. Please do put your names down if you're keen.
  6. This is a thread to line up potential members for a Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling day. I'll follow the same system as last time and float up spaces and if you have preferred dates, please post them up, if you can do either please do indicate that too. As with last time, it'll be first to get their name down gets first refusal. If the slots are all full, please register your interest all the same. Drifting & Over Grip Limit Handling Learn the secrets of over limit handling using your car and our Caterham 7. A five and a half hour experience for 4 owners covering the building blocks of vehicle control at grip limit. A fast-moving sideways experience. Designed to build on the skills learnt on the Performance and Cornering Masterclass club days or as an introduction to the techniques of over grip limit driving for the novice, our instructors will tailor the training to your level of experience. Understand and practice the building blocks of over grip limit driving. It is not just nailing the accelerator and relying on instinct. A drift is the culmination of many core skills polarized into one extreme exercise. All explained and demonstrated by your instructor and practiced by you. Enjoy the challenge of our very sideways Caterham, and experience the dynamic characteristics and capability of your own car as it realises its true potential at grip limit. Invaluable information for those owners wanting to maximise its potential and enjoyment of their car on track. Your training session will include presentations on: - Understeer - Oversteer - Lift Off Oversteer - Roll Oversteer - Weight Transfer at Turn In - Tyre Grip Trade Off - Identifying Grip Limit - Breaking Traction Your training will include an experience of a wetted as well as a dry surface on the Steering Pad at the Millbrook Proving Ground.

  7. I was going to write a seperate review for any members who saw these days appear on the forum, but for whatever reason decided not to attend or missed the opportunity to do so. However, I banged on for so long in my trustpilot review I'm too tired to type it all out again, so this is a copy paste, with some minor edits. Firstly, the organisation and communication to get the day arranged was extremely friendly and very professional. In terms of they Day itself, just getting to use the facilities at Millbrook is special. That initial drive in, with the low morning sun lighting up the alpine route, put a smile on my face which stayed there all day. But, the day is so much more than testing your car on a variety of tarmac challenges. The hands-on learning sessions behind the wheel were exactly what I'd hoped for, insights into my personal driving style and precise information as to what I personally could do to improve. This was also supported by pre and post session briefings, setting me up for what I was about to learn, then discussing what I would take away, dealing with all the questions that pop up. Naturally, talking through the techniques and engineering is a bit less fun than being behind the wheel, however, the theory side of the training is not just relevant and enjoyable, it gives you a real sense that there's engineering principles behind the disciplines you learn. Not to mention a welcome breather and opportunity for things to sink in. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CAT to anyone serious about improving thier driving. Best of all, unlike nearly of the modifications we do, this mod is one which can be transferred to any new vehicle you own. I can't think of a pound for pound mod which would have a more dramatic improvement on lap times. Stu "Way down on power in the BRZ"
  8. Whatever date it is, I'm in. Things like weddings/births/christenings can always be moved out the way or simply skipped.
  9. Personally, at 5 metres viewing distance I'd go bigger. BUT, I'd probably buy the better telly and sit closer! http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Article/How-Far-Should-I-Sit.php
  10. How big is the room, or, more importantly what's your normal viewing distance?
  11. Having just got back home from one of these today, I can assure you I'll be doing my very best to make sure there are.
  12. You sure they didn't take a ball?!?
  13. Sounds like perfect boxer noise What's with the pink wheels?
  14. Unlucky! So, PM a Team Member if you need to be removed people.
  15. So when I check the check box I get a pop up with a trash can at the bottom (this is on iPad)
  16. Glad it's not just me, I tried a few after I GPS'd myself. Not quite sure how, but I navigated to here and I could delete there. Can non admin/mods use that link?
  17. Anyone deleted a marker, on any platform?
  18. I tried to manually key in a nearby location on mobile and desktop safari, the Save button was there but did not respond at all. Anyone tried deleting a location yet? That took me a few minutes
  19. I think it's a suppressor for alternator noise. http://itstillworks.com/install-noise-suppressors-alternators-7525591.html
  20. With less than a month to the Gameweek 1 deadline, it's time to get organised for season 2018/19. If you don't get involved soon you'll have to put up with all the whining about how capitalism is only bad when it comes to footballers' wages; brought to you by the underpaid workers in film, music, reality TV, MPs, the tabloid press and all those other sports that are so deserving but no one seems to bother watching - all without being a part of the never ending machine.

Yes I'm running the same promotional trailer as last year, no, not because I'm lazy, but because it's brilliant.
  21. Something tells me that if you play second fiddle on the wedding day, you're never gonna be number 1.
  22. Morning Gang Now that we're getting somewhat comfortable with the new forum, may I ask that if you've got avatars or signatures which are still dependent on the evil money grabbing swine at PhotoBucket (or are broken for other reasons), please give me a shout and I'll do what I can to help you to fix them. These generic placeholders look rubbs. amongst all the new shininess. If you also have guides that suffer from PBs assault on the internet community, and you still have access to the original images, do get in touch. Thanks.
