Poor show old boy

Whilst I'm working that weekend and whilst I could probably swap, I've got other commitments in November that have yet to be finalised (wedding suit fitting which involves weekend in London) so I'm really hampered to give any specific date availability for anything yet that month. Plus another track day at the start of the month - there are only so many weekends out there

Sorry guys - 1 more down against the non french side.

Blue french cars rule again.

Nevermind Trickle. Sounds like the track day would be a good laugh though.

Have fun without us

Hmmm, thinking on from that... are there any tracks near Manchester/Leeds?

Gilly · 23 Oct 2005 at 14:02

Tracks? Where we're going we don't need tracks

so where we going then?

agw_01 ill give you a lift in the 8 no problem*, you might need to brush your teeth first though

Also my brother is coming from Sheffield in the 9 so anyone wanting a lift or convoy he will happily help out.

*no smoking, my car = my music, back seat drivers get kicked out while on the motorway!!

Oulton Park is probably the nearest to here...

cymatty · 23 Oct 2005 at 18:01

Yes, Toyota never did a Turbo MK1. Only a supercharged one.

Some people do put the 3SGTE engine into the MK1 though. :eek:

Like high res shots?

So are you planning to do the trip in one day, or are you coming up the day before?

L0rdMike · 23 Oct 2005 at 18:10

My Turbo is ment to be good upto 165mph so wont take to long to get there.

Seriously I dunno, I'm comming up with Sam at the moment so I will have to talk to him but we may just do it all in one day. I've done it before, I can do it again

Went to Hull and back in one day, near 600 mile trip.

Nutter, well let us know if you change your mind, can organise something for the night before if you are coming up.

L0rdMike · 23 Oct 2005 at 18:14

Ha ha, has your car been modified or is it standard?

L0rdMike · 23 Oct 2005 at 18:21

Has a few little things but nothing major.

Sam · 23 Oct 2005 at 21:15

The only way i could possibly stay is if i come up the night before but we wouldent be able to leave till 8

Got work the day before and the day after. So TBH its not worth it and hey i dont mind the ride

( Packs PSP and pillow )

Sam

L0rdMike · 23 Oct 2005 at 21:29

I dont mind driving for hours on end.

agw_01 · 23 Oct 2005 at 21:42

Well if you guys did travel all of that way, you can expect a pint from me

We'll show you southeners how to do it properly
