why not just send £75 to a charity of your choice, then watch the coverage when that idiot Toff Needle goes and spouts forth in his anoying up and down dramatist way, why he should be driving and nobody else, on that tv channel nobody can recieve yet! (CH5, well maybe we can all recieve it I just dont know anybody who tried!)

 

[killerm5]

Umm ok.. Thats one option I agree.. :roll: :-?

 

[turnipsock]

Aktually SLinKY, Toff will be hard pushed to do his tyre wasting slides and talking to camera bit at this event.


There was a Top Gear thing a while back where they put six cars in a big drag race, the result was a bit surprising.

 

[SLinKyjoe]

there was...didnt a cerbera win it........


toff went to the event last year on rode as a passenger in that Ruf 911.


maybes we should get ourselves orgainsed and go. could be an opportunity for a meet?

all we need is someone to find a Brabus SLR for us to enter and show them. Or maybes we could ask McLaren Intertnational for a an MP4/17. They must have one lying around somewhere. they could rig up the transimisson for top speed and sort of low profile wings.....and it has a Mercedes engine so it counts too.

wonder if we can find someone who would ask. Imaging the chav's faces when we drop one of them out the back of a truck and fire it up.....my word....


did you see the BAR with Button do a drag race with a MotoGP and a F1 inshore powerboat? The f1 car pounded the oppositon.

Soemthing else made me laugh a few years back. The CART series in yankland went to the Canadian GP venue in Montreal. It was around 6 weeks after F1 had visited. Jacques said it would be interesting to compare the speeds af them yank things....

their fastest lap for pole position was 6 seconds slower then the slowest racing lap of an F1 car...which meant the Minardi's would have locked out the front row and lapped everybody 12times if they had been in the race.

Slinky, Any chance you could borrow one of those big car things from work - you know the ones with the jet engines and the big aerofoil each side of the body...

 

[SLinKyjoe]

as it happens..............no

So we still have no MBs entered..
(one guy from the AMG board has offered to bring his SL65... waiting to hear about that!! ;-) )

The list above was as of 26-04, and we've not been an emptied the p.o. box since then.. so could be quite a few additions. and maybe 1-2 MB's will check and post back later today!

[SLinKyjoe]

me thinks a bit of explaination required...

chavs will be in huge numbers watching, not competing. unless a clapped out capri turns up.

and we have a member getting an S 65. lets see if we can twist his arm to turn up......


i notice this BMW owner has infiltrated our site....at least he is asking about getting a proper car there.....if we did do you think he would buy on and pass the Beemer on?



and is anybody thinking about going?

come on lets find out!

 

[pascal]

Would your standard 'Eagle star' cover you in the event of a mishap. I presume the organizers have a huge public liability premuim.

 

[killerm5]

Your normal insurance will almost certainly NOT cover you for trackdays, but that's something you would have to check.

The organisers provide no insurance cover that would cover your car, but we may be adding some personal accident insurance as an additional benefit.

Understand your point about the chavs, slinky. Trying to vet the audience too but it may be hard, maybe we can make it a burberry free zone!! :lol:

ill race you for £500 (as long as i dont have to win lol)

 

[killerm5]

Nope you can't pay on the day, its ticket sales in advance only.. (or thats the plan at the minute!) You just download the normal form, fill in the basics, ignoring the car stuff and attach a cheque for the relevant amount and send it off.. !! you'll get a confirm by return, which you use as your ticket on the day!

Easy really...... oh and you might wanna bring some earplugs!!!

Cheers
David

 

[SLinKyjoe]

are the ear plugs for the howls of derision when the scenic and 200e race....


am looking for a 2cv....if i get one i will turn up and make sure i am by far the slowest.....no point trying to win and coming second...go in as you mean to be, last and slow..then you will have lived totaly up to your expectations...

 

[SLinKyjoe]

and for those going...post some piccies when you get back...might encourage more for the next time....could be a meeting place type thing....where i can stand with me flag......

 

[peterchurch]

Where's Nick and his SL60 when you need him?

 

[killerm5]

As Homer said

"If at first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried !" :mrgreen:

 

[killerm5]

2 more Dodge Viper Venoms signed up. .

1 GTO with a 12.1 quarter mile under his belt at Santa Pod (this month) and a dodgy boost solenoid at the time!!! Going to be stupidly quick when working properly..


Come on Guys, don't let them have all the fun!!!!
