HaydnH Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Ooooo yeah. It's fine guys, following normal tradition so long as I don't put my roof down it will be glorious sunshine You and me pulling over on the hard shoulder again then Will? BTW, is anyone convoying up from anywhere? Or is it far too early in the morning for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 A bit more playful ha, well i didn't think taking it easy would last for long Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well that was fun, think I prefer the 350z on track to the tubby MR2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipouk Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 What a great day. Just made it back to my sister's in London, had an issue with my phone which I was using as sat nav but made it eventually. Think that was my favourite track day so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Having a bit of fun with a crazy frog made it worthwhile for me today... Glad he found his right foot in the last session - not often I say that about the quiet pedal mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Awesome day guys n gals. No I mean AWESOME day guys had a brilliant time, had some fun with a few guys in the passenger seat apart from me and papa being slowed down by that 911 turbo haha. As HaydnH said by the end of the day I had found the loud pedal and was using it the brakes need some work no servo they do stop but you have to press hard no heel and toe yet will look into that but it didn't stop me and Haydn having a right laugh taking it turns to chase each others cars round the track for the last 20 mins or so the go pro has got it all on film but due to our different braking styles I'm a bit far back for it to look really good. I'll edit it and post up the highlights when I get a chance Again all I can say is it was epic fun and I'm looking forwards to the next one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Epic day was epic. Brillo in a BMW is just a thing to behold, slidey slidey mental fun WEEEEEE Great to meet everyone today who I've not met before, and good to see old faces as always. Thanks for the laps Phil, very sorted car and even better with the harnesses I suspect. 911 held up pretty well, it's definitely not a track car as it's a bit too heavy but it sure as hell shifts down the straights! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Different braking styles? Mines the 'desperately trying to not go through the windscreen when tapping the pedal' style... Really happy with the Arts on track once they're warmed up... Not sure the pit Marshall was so keen on them though, 'Mate your brakes are smoking!'

brillomaster Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) yep, awesome day, 225 miles on track covered. Great to meet everyone, and thanks for the rides in the Porsche and 350z Dan and HaydnH. Also thanks Karl for the tuition! New beemer seemed to hold up alright... tyres, brakes and slidey leather seats aside! Edited August 23, 2014 by brillomaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 O yes we must not forget the ostrich leather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sorry it was so slow Brillo! I convinced myself I'd take it easy today being in the Z and all... You should've jumped in the passenger seat in the afternoon when that sensibility had obviously gone out of the soft top... To a safe extent anyway.

glrnet Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Had a great morning, thanks to Brillo (I can feel an Avatar name change coming on ) for a great few laps and Keyser for some interesting down shifts. And yes, that 911 driver needs to learn how NOT to brake Oh, and I now luuuuuuuurve green Here's a few pix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Mcgoo Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Sounds an awesome day as expected. Gutted I missed it, but will definitely try and make one of the others. I just hope it'll be a good turn out again. ** currently getting pi**ed on holiday! ** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Anyone fancy making it a yearly event? August bank holiday track day? Nothing stopping people doing it more often obviously, but could be a nice post Wales catch up. Would be good if we could get enough people to have the track to ourselves to avoid certain Lexus drivers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
