It's the taking part that counts Wendy and your E30 is bound to be quicker through the slow stuff. .. I'm sure I'll let you past if you step aside up Daewoo and pit straight.. Just no sneaky inside lines through Duffus into McIntyres.. eh? |

A good day and no mistake.. great fun in blowing away those Lotus hounds up the pit straight,, pity they're so bloody snappy at your heels on the slower stuff.. better brakes will sort some of that out and the M was going great guns... Be good to see how some of the 'old hands' do up here.. it's a quick circuiit to learn and a slow circuit to learn well... the blind chicane dip and crest through Glenvargil is one of my all time favourite bends...and Clark's can unsettle the reckless.. easy to take slow.. hard to take fast...the trick is to let the throttle steer you through the second bend... In general it's a forgiving track but very concentrated where you spend 80% in the braking zone.. Edited by M BLUR |

Hmm.. indeed.. perhaps all he's good for is writing cheap quips at his fellow compatriots..... Come on Wendy - get your monkey E30 on the black top more often.. if you need any tips.. don't ask me.. P.S: I didn't get the part in Village People..!! |

I think this will be a top event and one I'm really looking forward to.. for anyone wanting to develop their wet track skills then this one is THE event on the calendar.. good facilities.. really tight twisty track with plenty of compressions and camber changes for anyone not versed with this track.. I hope all the track loons add this to their diary for this and next year's event... be good to see you there and we can help find you accomodation contacts etc.. |

Gary...
I have just recalculated the planned usage and if I added the approx 1000 miles for Knockhill to the other planned and mostly paid for trips, I would only have 600 miles left and that has to last from the end of October until the end of Feb 2005. So it really is a case of finding a way to transport the car or do it next year. There used to be a railcar service from London to Glasgow or Edinburgh but I guess it must have closed down. A trailer is one way but I don't want to use the M5 to tow. The Nurburgring is about the same distance for me as Knockhill. Edited by kevin |

Dunc, u should take the 328i around if you haven't sold it by then.. a great way to send of the old girl.. I recall doing just that a few years ago before I sold my old GT6 to this guy who was watching as I cooked the brakes on Taylors.. Still got 30 large sheets mind.. |
