lottiefox Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 A good day out! Great to meet some more TSNers... Pete I want your car....another one to dribble over at Windsor meets. It is just so cruel. I think it was a bit cruel parking the TT so close to the pits....maybe next time.......enjoyed the drive across Robin, that Vectra should invest in a RoadAngel instead of go faster stripes and bad attitude... Some lovely R32s and GTis there, very smart S4 Avant, Porsches to dribble over, and great to meet some new folks Pincher, Robin MarkII, Mook etc and always nice to see and hear Daz's throbbing beast. And Daz, thank you for the hat, my ears were about to drop off... Had a good spirited drive back to Warwick where we demolished sixteen tonnes of pasta after missing lunch and then the MX-5 went down the Fosse Way one way with JC in charge and back the other with me....oh and a McDonalds in Chippenham in the middle..... Now, I just need to count my pennies and make an offer on that Boxster.... Good day out folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lottiefox Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I guess it depends which of you lovely chaps is most flexible on negotiation...... I do like Pete's button that makes the car go up and down, but I do love DHA's colour too and as he was my first Boxster spin.... decisions....

robin09 Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Had a great time too. Track was good fun, and it was nice to put a face to a lot of names. Would certainly recommend it for a trackday, but I agree its not the best for a social Robin mk1, especially with that wind! Cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Cheers all - great to meet everyone new and to see some old faces again. I love Bedford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think the main thing is that when you have travelled any good distance (mine was exactly 425 miles round trip) you want sixteen tons of hot pasta - Especially if your name is John_Carter, lottiefox, or Shark_90! Mind you, if I had eaten before being a track passenger I might not have kept it all down! Is it normal to be car sick as passenger, or just me?

RedRobin Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Who did you feel sick with? Jay or Mook? [/ QUOTE ] ....Both! Worse with Jay, whose car surprisingly felt a much smoother ride - which could have been the problem. I get car sick as a passenger if I can't see out but I wasn't in the back of a van around Bedford! I just wondered if it was normal (if others get passenger sick on track).

Pincher Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hmmm, I went out with both Jay and Pete and was fine. Maybe it was the helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I guess it's me then. A pity cos it took me the rest of the day to feel good again. Not a very flattering helmet was it - but it was a freebie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lottiefox Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I didn't get car sick when I was a passenger at Castle Combe, but I usually only feel car sick if I am in the back of a car as a passenger. I reckon as the driver you'd be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Cheers, Lottie . I'm sure it's always better as a driver cos your body (meaning mine!) always naturally and subconsciously compensates for what your brain is instructing etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted March 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Great day out... sorry not to spend more time with everyone, but got the 'track bug' and spent a lot of time dodging the bitter wind, drinking hot choclate and steeling biscuits. I thought Bedford organisation and rulings were spot on, enough to be safe without being parent like. The Milltek passed without question, HOW DID THAT GT2 GWET PASSED THE NOISE TEST..... The S4 survived the day... so VERY impressed how well balanced the car is, considering the size and weight... the anti-role bars must be off a cement truck ! Brakes got a little hot, but always came trough with an extra prod. AG's scooby was fun to passenger in... god they're good value-to-grin factor, 220 bhp version is just lacking a bit of grunt, but the handling/feedback is spot on. PB's A3 3.2DSGQ was a larf too.... only on his second to last session the front disks warped... DOH ! Got through just over a tank of fuel, AGs scooby did nearly two tanks! MPG was a real surprise, guess I could short shift some of the time where the scooby and A3 were flat out all the way round. Average on-track fuel consumption: S4 Avant 4.2 V8 - 8.9mpg A3 3dr 3.2V6 - 8.3mpg Impreza 2.0T - ~6mpg (!) Glad we all had fun and went home in one piece. See you all on-track again soon... Paul.
