octav.ed · 01-06-2007, 06:23

have a great day lads.. don't forget.... plenty of photos..

WW_VRS · 01-06-2007, 07:14

Have a great day, shame I couldn't make it

Too much work on to let me have the day off again...

Looking forward to those pics

**tfboy** · 01-06-2007, 19:03

Just back.

Had a great day

Was a bit concerned about the weather forecast. But as it turned out, I should have packed the suncream instead of the waterproofs. I think Nick still beats us all on the lobster front though

I'll start sorting through my photos. Will find a way of hosting them. Colin mentioned that the gallery was bac up so will stick them there

Too much work ?!?!? Is that a metaphore? I hope so

If not,

Decron · 01-06-2007, 19:04

Think I broke a droplink

***ncarring*** · 01-06-2007, 19:08

Well twas indeed a lovely day. I was expecting rain, so left the track wheels, the sun hat, the sun cream, the parasol, the gazebo and the camera at home. So I got a bit pink, didn't take any pictures, but still had a good time. The instructors were good chaps and MotorSports Events ran a good tight event. Roll on the next one!

Great day guys, thoroughly enjoyed it

Hedge · 01-06-2007, 20:10

Good day out and a chance to put some more names to faces.

As soon as I get my films (yes films) developed onto CD then anyone is welcome to a copy for a couple of quid plus postage.

faboka vrs · 01-06-2007, 22:03

Well got back about 9pm. Like Steve says I thoroughly it. Top class event. Best track day I've done so far. But that could be down to a number of things. Better car setup, more experience etc.

Cheers for the help people gave for my little leaking

bpm · 01-06-2007, 22:20

Comon lads give us some pics!

Leeboy · 01-06-2007, 22:27

Good day out AND car survived in one piece, despite me trying to break the gearbox (2nd into 1st at 5000 rpm does work!). Face has gone a little red, not quite lobster though. Must say that I'm fairly well cream crackered now.

Nick, sorry didn't have time (or gas/oil) to fit you in a passenger ride, Steve (Makefish) sorry if it looked like I was leaving without saying goodbye - I thought you were out on track! Many thanks for organising this one.

Oh and BPM, check out the MSE pics in one of the above links!

That's a link to the organisers official photographs, Xav and a few others were taking pictures throughout the day and I'm sure they will be uploaded but if they feel like I do now then they'll be knackered!

Octavia5 · 02-06-2007, 17:40

Great Day - learned alot about the car and the included lesson was very helpful. I now know why the F1 drivers keep so fit, once the adrenalin fades the tiredness takes over. I am too tired to sort my pics today but hope to post some soon

Makefish · 02-06-2007, 21:48

Come on guys where are these pictures??

***ncarring*** · 02-06-2007, 21:55

Got the usual "helmet headache" today - paid for all the passenger rides I took

That's thanks to Paul (the Clio V6 owner), Col, Steve M, and anybody else I've forgotten.

Quinten · 02-06-2007, 23:33

I've only just switched my computer back on. I arrived home at 8pm or so after my sat nav refused to work and I therefore had to find my own way back

. The whole day was without incident but on the way back my car didn't sound quite right whenever I eased of the accelerator. I have yet to find out what it is/was, but I suspect it's going to be something expensive again

Apart from that, it was a fantastic day, and with the instruction included a well worth day as well. I've learned so much more than I would ever have done from just following others

Thanks Steve for the organisation and the rest for the company. Oh, and that little hairdressers car of Mark was fab

Quinten · 02-06-2007, 23:34

Oh, and I haven't even touched my camera or camcorder since I came home... too tired

Octavia5 · 03-06-2007, 11:48

A series of pics follow - all shot with slow shutter to give a feel I like - you may not - will try the photos again as they have vanished
