New Thread for lack of clutter.

ONLY post in this thread to say you are going, DO NOT use this for conversation about the meet. I will be asking dons to delete any chatting posts as it makes my life a living hell to sift through 20 pages of posts come the week before the meet to see who is actually coming.

OCUK Rolling Road Day 4

Date - July 1st 2006
Venue - Powerstation - see their site here
Arrival Time - 8:30-9am arrival for runners @ powerstation, First car on the rollers shortly after.
Plan - Lots of pro OCUK cars do power runs, we all go deaf, then drive to the pub for food. Expect to be finished at powerstation by 11-11:30 ish then a 30 minute drive to the pub.

Costs -

All runners need to pay £30 for a power run, In honesty, I think the bank account option at this time is too much like hard work, so please ensure YOU BRING THE EXACT MONEY IN CASH to the venue, ta
All people who do a power run will be bought a drink at the pub by myself from my own money as a way of saying thanks.(no bottles of vodka mind !)

Location Map -

The plan is to do a video of how to get to powerstation from both the north and southbound carridgeway as well as a map so that everyone can familiarise themselves with the route. I'll also be bringing detailed instructions on how to get from powerstation to the pub, as we lost a few last time. I'll have my mobile number on this sheet on the day so people can call me if they get lost.

CONVOY !

Wanting to attend ?

Simple, Reply below with your Name, Car, and if you are running or not. so .. for example

Drexel, RX7, Yes
Fox, BMW 5 Series, Yes
Conanius, Ford Puma, Yes
Simon, Rover 220 Turbo Yes

or

R220, Prelude, No

If Your Running .. what do I need to do?-

Please e-mail me at my blueyonder address kore@ blue yonder.co.uk (no spaces) with your mobile number so I can contact you on the day if your running late to see what the situation is. Saves me a lot of hassle also.

Running Order -

Nearer the time I will be organsiing the running order so that all the same wheelbase cars run back to back, this saves powerstation a fair amount of time, and they have requested it again this time.

My Requests -

I know everyone is out to have a good time, so please on arrival to powerstation, keep lunacy to a minium, leave it for the trip to the pub/pub car park please. No random wheelspings or handbrakes turns eh Dave n Mike ;)

Camera Men ! -

rG-Tom is now the official camera man for this, alongside AustinPowers. FIngers crossed we shoudl get some good pics of the cars, as well as all the run videos. Other people are more than welcome to bring along cameras.

When I get there....

ONLY park inside the Powerstation carpark if you are doing a power run, this makes like much easier for me when trying to tick off who has arrived. Anyone who parks inside the compound area and who is not doing a power run will be asked to move the car outside of the fenced area

Any Questions ?

Please e-mail me at my blueyonder address as above

As stated above, please only post in this thread to say you are going...

Here come the runner excuses eh sam ;)

Watch that list over 20+ runners drop to 7 confirmed by 30th June!

It never changes mate, ive already discussed the current list of runners with a coupleof people, and theres about 14 that I definately know will be there, the rest could well be a bit of a lottery !!!

obviously I want everyone to turn up, but in reality I need to realised that the polarisation of the earth is about to change and that some of the cars will vanish into the ether.... or whatever... :P

Eidolon definately wins most committed, I think he had to go searching for battery terminal bits on THE DAY of the RR event to make sure he could make it !
 
Simon said:
I would disagree ;)

I finished putting my engine on the night before last time, ran the car in at 7am in the morning up and down the bypass and then went to get it tracked when the garage opened before leaving on a full rebuild, with no testing, hoping that I hadn't made any mistakes :p
Click to expand...

that is quite true actually, id totally forgotten you mapped your car on the road to the RR :p
 
Scottland said:
I quite fancy attending but I won't be running. I won't know if I can attend until nearer the time though, is that a problem?
Click to expand...

not at all, im not that bothered about spectators in honesty, my only real concern is ensuring we have enough runners
 
eidolon said:
I missed the actual rolling road bit though, only managed to get to the pub part afterwards.

I won't go messing with anything beforehand this time, I promise!
Click to expand...

yeah, you went cruising in Gloucester didnt you !!!

L0rdMike said:
Wow 30 people running, wonder how many will actually turn up though.
Click to expand...

see my comment further up ;)
 
how absurd is this... I might not be able to make it !

well, thats a blatent lie, but its gonna cost me a train ticket to do so!

Im now being told for the 2 weeks before the RR day ill be in London working, so potentially if things dont go to plan ill have to stay on an extra week.. if this happens, Ill have to get the train home on friday night to be there !

now, if im gonna do this, NO ONE has an excuse !!!
 
Siliconslave said:
if i can actually make it i'll be able to offer you a lift there from guildford (about 45 min train from waterloo, no changes....) on the sat morning if you don't mind an early start

Bear said:
I live near London well in Bucks at the end of a tube line so I can give you a lift if needed.

edit: Doh didnt read the post above :o
Click to expand...

Cheers for the offers, but ill just get work to send me back on the train, I get a guarenteed train seat if im needed to get home for any reason, so ill just ensure they are happy with that when its all finalised

Will Gill said:

oohh the suspense

I think you'll find I spoke to dave many months ago.. infact probably before this thread was posted confirming a ride in the DB9.. so if the 360 comes instead, i'll transfer it over with a quick 'RELOAD' !

:cool: ;)
 
Gibbo said:
Hi there

Is there anybody going from around the North West Midlands area who I can meet up with and follow as I am useless when it comes to finding places so need to follow somebody.

Anyway I wish to go and put my car on the rollers.

Gibbo - Ford Mustang GT - Running! :D

you genuinely cant go wrong mate...

M6, southbound, keep going till you get to the M5 Junction *RAC building on the left just before the exit, the massive Gasometers(sp) on the right a bit further back up the m6 ... get on the m5, then get off at juntion 9.. as you get to the top of the sliproad, turn left (first exit) and then follow the road, you'll see a BP garage on your right (sells ultimate if needed) and a set of traffic lights just ahead of you, take a left at the lights, over the mini roundabout, over the traffic light controlled hump back bridge, turn left, and whoosh, powerstation is on your left.. jobs a goodun.

as I said earlier tho, ill sort some better directions with a video or something
 
eidolon said:
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it, I checked my diary and that's literally the only week I'll have chance to go on holiday until mid Sept due to work commitments :(
Click to expand...

boo..... however IIRC isnt that also when your wanting to sort the elise seats?
 
eidolon said:
Yeah, the Elise seats will go ahead whatever happens, I'll just drop them off while I'm on hols and pick em up on my return. (they're booked in for 3rd July)
Click to expand...

is it at the place at staverton airport? didnt see the result of the thread
 
eidolon said:
Nahhh, they didn't want to do the Elise seats even though they're the same as the VX.

I'm getting them done at Krych Trimming which is literally 5 mins from where I work. They're a bit more expensive but I've seen the quality of their work before and they only need the car for 3-4 days whereas Lotus wanted a month to retrim the seats.
Click to expand...

a month !? jeez.

ah well mate, make sure you enjoy the holiday :)
 
Trickle said:
Trickle, 200sx, running (or reserve/spectator as I see 31 listed already)
Click to expand...

trust me, of all that have signed up to attend, ill be genuinely amazed if 20 turn up... its always the case.. come the week before people start to drop out like flies, right up to the point when you thought they were just running late on the day
