Track day : Anglesey Wales : 22-01-2006 09:00 - 18:00

**mannyo** · 19-01-2006, 15:42

May well be popping along to see the BM in action, just trying to justify the 5hr each way drive.

Another possibility is driving up Saturday and back again Sunday.

Shifty · 19-01-2006, 16:19

So, who has the red octavia then? Listed for the trackday?

**mannyo** · 22-01-2006, 20:30

Just to let everyone know, I am back. A 586 mile round trip in one day.

What a fun day, even if the wind was a bit cold. I took some pics and I'll post them in another thread.

Hi Ian.

Fair old trip for you that then.

I was one of the drivers in the black BM, trying to learn the black art of RWD, untill we broke it. Been to anglesey a couple of times in the Octy as have some of the others. We all seem to like it up there anyway, must be the sea air

Good to see you Manny, you must wear a coat next time, you looked frozen a few times.

Was good to see Mike, I think you spoke to him Ian, his was the red Octy.

As it warms up I'm sure more people will venture out

good fun for all... nice to see shiftys car putting in some decent laps...

and biggg

to the 205 lift off oversteer man!

***Neo_VR*** · 22-01-2006, 21:32

I had a great day... Shiftys furby ARB + tracktyre equipped was proving quite a tool for upsetting the integra boys and that mental 205 driver... VERY sideways!

the BMW was putting in some impressive laps too even on road tyres.. no doubt itll be fettled with whilst its off the road and shall return better and faster

bring on the summer!

redbaron · 22-01-2006, 21:38

its not broken.... just the newness wearing off

big hammer and some tlc will fix the oil cooler... and im sure i will find a nut to secure a wayward damper.... can heartly recommend KU31 as a great road tyre that will take some hammer on track... but im still trying to work out if i can get my 245/35/18s on the E30.......

Sounds like you had fun.

Is one out playing tomorrow, as I am in Manchester again.

Glider · 22-01-2006, 21:47

Now can we arrange one for the first week in July, I'll be in in Wales that week, what rubber was Shiffty running.

CupraR-Rog · 22-01-2006, 21:48

Only just seen this thread... if I'd spotted it earlier, Sarah and I might well have popped up with the camera!!

ianhg · 22-01-2006, 22:08

hehe! didn't look too healthy from where I was stood!

I had a good day, other than feeling slightly queasy before lunch! (thanks dave!

) I didn't dare go on the track until the afternoon, and I was pretty scared! I got a little bit better after a few laps, but I think I need alot more practice!!

Thanks to Col, John and Nicola for standing and supporting me from the sidelines (even though I didn't see you!) and for taking pics of me! and obviously thanks for taking me dave!

couple of pics of dave (havent got any of me yet! hehe!)...

ianhg · 23-01-2006, 17:31
