[Steve Saunders]

Bit of a trek for me really, so decided against it... Did look at it though, and would be a decent day...

Enjoy it guys.. :)

[vicky]

Matt is going to the BMW one the day before. :) Looks like fun!

[danvilla2]

Love brands hatch, never driven on track or anything just one of my favourite circiuts. Like steve, shame its miles away from me.

[Big Jazzle]

[rushy_23]

Ive booked up for this. Wont be many spaces left now as there was only 9 when I
rang earlier this week. Ive done a few tracks but this will be my first real trackday.

Should be good fun.

[Steve Saunders]

Nice one Rushy.!! Let us know how you get on mate.. :D

[rushy_23]

140 mile drive each way, so hopefully worth it :D

[rushy_23]

Was a great day guys! Didnt see your message Tom until now on the thread but was
really nice meeting you. Top bloke.
Got home safe, cars in one piece. Still a bit gutted about it chucking smoke but will get
it all checked up one asap.

Lot on next year when I can get the interior finished and get the engine up to standard!

[vicky]

Mhm.... removed because hes on here.

[rickyp-rpm]

looks like it was a good day, i wanted to do this but too far to travel there and back and with the added cost of staying over would have made it very expensive. gutted

[danvilla2]

Big jazzle on the RR (is he on here?) has put some great pics on the RR, theres one great shot or yours piglet

[piglet0073]

Whoop what a day and it turned out to be great weather i got some pics and a couple of Vids of mine, Was good to meet you Rushy hope your get ur motor sorted soon, she is clean as! I must admit Brands is very Addictive but i say that about most tracks. I asked that Garage about getting a Quaffie LSD see how they quote me hay.

Oh and i met James Gambles from PFC what a nice chap he is, I didnt know he lived local to me. I got Bedford next weekend with some of my track m8s anyone wants to stop by should be a laugh.

Tom

[rushy_23]

Same mate I didnt even realise that you were going. Saw the car and thought yea I know
that one for sure.

Very clean and tidy, looked great out on track too... Choking on my smoke lol.

[piglet0073]

LOL yeah was abit smokey down the straght there, ah well we are always learning from track days. My lesson was the diffrence of tyers lol. Got my track rims ready for saturday woo.

Have to do another track day togeather some time.

Tom

[rushy_23]

If the track rims are lighter then it will definatly transform the handling of the car mate.
Did you get the ECU light sorted btw?

Definatly want to get the car back on track when the engines been looked at. I the oil
used was jus running too thin. Excuse to get it all ripped apart and built from scratch
like you said lol.

[piglet0073]

Cam it and mapp it m8 lol Next time i will let you have a drive in mine so you will have no choice lol

Yeah when i got the cash i will go for some lighter rims. But got boring stuff like incurance and Tax coming up Doh!

[CherryGTI]

[rushy_23]

Would get that lock on soonish haha.
Yea shame we didnt get to chat but yea definatly need to get another event under our belt. Well then again it will be FCS2008 time before we know it.

Brands hatch was an awesome circuit, was loving Paddock hill lol, litterally a HILL! Madness.

[Big Jazzle]

yeah paddock hill is awesome, only ever been around as a passenger in an evo 4, that was lots of fun.

considering i lived literally 10 minutes from brands its shocking ive never taken 1 of my cars around, must need my head checking out lol.

just looked through nearly all the shots i took, and i dont think i actually have any of you:confused: whats your reg?

[piglet0073]

MMMMHMMMM dare i ask whats on your photoshop??

[rushy_23]

Man I travelled 160 miles to get there and couldnt get enough. Well litterally as I had
to come off as I thought my car was gonna die.

My reg is R77USH

But I doubt you prob got any snaps as I wasnt on the track much due to a few car
issues. :(

[piglet0073]

A friend of mine found this pic of mine on a VW web site
