106 Owners Club, National Day

[Fuzzy Orange]

Just been chatting to James and had a thought

Sometime in July/August - how about a National Day for everyone to come to

Somewhere central maybe santa pod or somewhere around there...?

Organise it a few months in advance so everyone can book time off, big gazebo with a bbq and free food and drinks. Track for some action for the track slags amongst us

Awards for best show car, best track car, best overall 106 .. stuff like that

Worth organising?

[106nick]

Definatley worth organising....... im only doing a few major events this year.... FCS and most likely USC (cant be fooked with pugfest) so a 106owners day will top the year off :)

[Fuzzy Orange]

USC will be awesome - was going to bring that up aswell

For those that dont know it aint much of a car show - more 3 days and 3 nights of alcohol, booze and women!

I'm going this year with a huge tent and wondered who else would. Bic & Batchy normally are up for it

I'd like to get to 4 or 5 big shows this year at least

[mat106]

A good idea, depending when it will be. July will be busy for most of us as most of the weekends are taken with shows, but august is less hectic.

[106nick]

Too right!! USC is the fooking nuts

yes it is full of chavs and i mean FULL

But it is a GREAT weekend. friday/saturday night is just one excuse for a huuuuuge piss up and party.

i can't wait :D

[Fuzzy Orange]

Maybe august time then or even september - do it as kind of an end of season day?

[106nick]

Yeah sounds like a plan...
plus the weather is usually pretty good in august/september still :)

[James.G]

yeah sounds really good mate. would be well up for that :)

[106XSi_Jay]

Id be up for that,
My bday in August another excuse to get pissed up :D

[Dan]

Ill come in the astra. :|

[Dargs]

count me in :D

[NikkiGTi]

I'll be up for it :D

[gazz]

Me too

[Dan C]

Great idea! Deffo up for that!

[Tim]

do it mate. i think should be a good turn out, if we have enough time to plan it, it can be a great sucess i reckon

[Rallye James]

Great stuff. I'd come along (I don't think its too far - damn I hate being in this unaccessable part of the country :( )

[Quiksilver_TR]

Yeah, id be up for that.

I have contacted the organisers of TRAX too.

[Luke]

Im up for that, if its late august/september time I have the chance I may have passed by then! :D

[leeds106]

hows about a track day trip out to a track somewhere around midlands?

is it cadwell thats in lincolshire or around about there?
could be the ideal meeting point for the majority maybe and a good little track



could set up a club stand to raise some interest in the club for anyone attending on that day and also a chance for people to go out on track if they wish


or if its permitted and its an open pit lane all day those that do go on track could always take a few of the non track wannabes out for a blast in the more track orientated cars
(if ya dont get scared easily ya can come in with me hehe)

[Fuzzy Orange]

Was meant to talk to you about that

Im organising a bit of a track day with some clio valver owners in may at cadwell if youre interested?

[leeds106]

**** yeah i am!

show these valvers who is boss hehe


when ya thinking about?

[mikey_b]

id be up for a national day, great idea!

[Fuzzy Orange]

**** yeah i am!

show these valvers who is boss hehe


when ya thinking about?

It will be sometime in May mate - gonna cost about £135 for a FULL DAY with open pit lane

So you can run as much or as little as you want and full use of the pit area for working on the car

Its gonna be my little spring treat - see if I can show clio's how real cars handle :D

I'll post a new thread about it when I get the date mate

Asked aidy but he was a big gay and said track days werent his thing, probably worried about scratching his graphics LOL

[leeds106]

see if aidy gets the bug once he has been round donington ya never know his view might have changed by then :)


but yeah £135 for a full day sounds good to me

think ill bring along a jerry can to top up cos FCS used a whole tank nearly in 4 hours lol

[106nick]

I'll pop along to cadwell (not go on track of course) i f*cking love that place!!

[Fuzzy Orange]

I'd be more worried about spare tyres - im gonna get some 15" steel wheels off a berlingo van or something daft and chuck some slicks on

[leeds106]

meh ill have to try and get some 888's on the steelies for it i guess :)

[Ste]

early august would be a good time for it

would definately be up for it anyway and possibly get my new car out on the track if its at a track and i've sold the saxo etc in time

[Fuzzy Orange]

Excellent - so I'll get toby to start looking for some locations around august where we could maybe get a track sessions aswell

[Ste]

i know its abit further up than the sort of area thats been mentioned allready but what about croft????

its abit less for the scottish members to drive but will be alot more for those right at the bottom of the country to travel

[Fuzzy Orange]

The problem is like with PGAC and other clubs - 90% of our members are in the midlands and the south

Northampton is about 3 or 4 hours for people like you and the same for the people down south...

If we move it any further north people from london and below just wont come

PGAC solved it with a midlands based national day (which turned into FCS) and a scottish national day

But I don think we have enough scottish members yer

[leeds106]

donington park is quite central and a damn good track too :)

either way give me a good 8 weeks notice and ill be there :)

no probs phil i was just thinking out loud

will be there where ever it is anyway so will shell

[Ste]

doh shell signed me out


donny park sounds like a cracker leeds 106

[leeds106]

oh it is mate

already got 2 sessions book for east bank hol weekend if ya going to donny show keep an eye out for the car :)

[vicky]

Might try and come along, depends when and where it is though. :)

[Fuzzy Orange]

Donington would be nice but VERY expensive

Reason I was thinking santa pod is its only a tenner to get in and theres plenty of space to get a bbq going and sit around chatting
And the 1/4mile run for anyone who likes that sort of stuff - but room for the show lads to wash and wax :)

[106XSi_Jay]

i know its abit further up than the sort of area thats been mentioned allready but what about croft????

its abit less for the scottish members to drive but will be alot more for those right at the bottom of the country to travel
TBH i think it would be a bit unfair having it way way up north that would be like a whole day travelling for me, I am quite happy to meet in the middle

[sexy_gt]

im up for a day at pod on the strip.

august is a busy month for me & i suppose will be for most show goers.

how about sept as said before - an end of season thing.

[sexy_gt]

Was meant to talk to you about that

Im organising a bit of a track day with some clio valver owners in may at cadwell if youre interested?

yyyyyeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhssssssssssssssssss

[Tony]

once us Scottish lot have enough members we will get a thrash day at Crail :)

[Steve Saunders]

I'll be attending everything again this year, so count me in Phil..!!!! Great idea mate... :D

[hugh_106]

In principle, a National Day would be great, but it obviously depends on when and where. Great idea Phil!!

[Shell]

i'm devo up for it phil and so is ste sounds ace 106 family together :D

[Freedo]

AIR FIELD TRACK DAY!

Reasons;

- Cheaper then normal Cadwell etc track day
- Place for every one to park together = more chatting/meeting new people
- bbq area
- low risk of smashing your car up

YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE! :cool:

[Fuzzy Orange]

All depends on cost mate - we dont have a lot of free club funds lol

[106nick]

Blyton airfield! ;)

[Freedo]

obviously the people that would want to go out on the air field track will pay...

[sexy_gt]

i think stick with cadwell.

its a smooth as a babys bum & you dont have to watch out for cones!!! lol

£135 approx for a full day at somewhere like cadwell is a bargain!!!

[Tuscan]

Sounds fucking awesome! Il definately be there guys! with the car in tip top condition! :) Its times like this i wish my car was fast :(

Im up for that, if its late august/september time I have the chance I may have passed by then! :D

Dude thas like another 5 months, you must have passed my then surely.

[leeds106]

i think stick with cadwell.

its a smooth as a babys bum & you dont have to watch out for cones!!! lol


you need to learn how to drive if ya hitting or having to avoid cones lmao

[sexy_gt]

what i mean is you have to watch out for cones!!!
as in, your not watching the layout of the road, you have to concentrate on little orange cones!!!

who is going to want to put their nice roadworthy car through all the potholes/gravel, etc on an airfield when you have beautiful tracks like cadwell?

when i go to york dragstrip its horrible on the drive up there along their rally airfield!!!!

[leeds106]

airfields are the perfect loctaion for a newbie to track days as they have a massive run off for when you spin out



tracks can be a little less forgiving depending on the gravel run off etc


personally ill do any kinda track day if the price is resonable

[gazz]

I'll av a go on a track, may not be much good but would be a laugh lol!

[yeovil-pug]

Yeh sounds like great idea -- and yeh makes sure room for us show car people to wash are cars lol.. :cool:

[rwd106]

usc.............. bring that the hell on, great show for a laff and entertainment all nite long, ill even roast ya all some marsh mallows from behind me car ha ha, or just burn the grass!! thats my fav show ive ever been to, love it!! bumper cars and fair ground rides for the not so faint at heart!!

but yeah a track day thing in september would be good, just dont clash with donny south cos thats like 20 mins from me if its still at chelmsford!!

i need ma car back and then bring the track days on!! only thing is ill run out of fuel every hour or so!!

ill be up for it!

[pugjim]

106 owners club day sounds like a great idea, if it's at cadwell, even better as i live a mile away from it so i'd deffinately be there!:)

[Ferg]

106 owners club day definately sounds like a good idea!!!

[leeds106]

get it sorted out so i can own you on track phil

[Joe_Quik]

Yer id be up for that! Sounds ace! Have to organise summat for the summer!

[nfishenden]

Yeah that sounds like a plan!!

[emtec69]

i would deffo be up for that! sounds like a plan batman :)


another thing, i am a newbie and just wondered what is ufc and where is it and ticket prices etc.

[scotty89]

sounds good :cool: would go to see all the cars and that

[Jaffa_pug]

national day sounds the b*ll*cks!!

[lees quicksilver]

National day sounds great good idea. :D

[N9KKC]

Dont talk about USC! I get to excited! :p Last year was mint! didnt really get to see the show just pissed most of the weekend then ran on the sunday. Also i acquired a little souverneir...... I was very drunk and don't normally do this!

http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c129/Conlon87/IMAG0113.jpg

I don't even buy fast car??

A good day out sounds good

[rich106quiksilver]

106owners event would be great.

[Quiksilver_TR]

Looking at getting something sorted, will post more details when we know.

Cheers

[Luke]

Dude thas like another 5 months, you must have passed my then surely.

My birthday isnt untill late July.:(

[sexy_gt]

kewl cant wait.
in PGTi mag this month theres the issue for another forum that had gone to cadwell :(
really want to get my ass round it.

just been looking on various trak sites to get a good deal on which day to go there at a good price. Javelin seems the best price.

be soooo good to see a load of pugs flying round. will have to get my camera rigged up. anyone know anywhere i can either get a sucker or something to attach the camera to the car??? dont want it falling off half way round though.

[Dan C]

I was looking at them earlier on ebay. Quite expensive!

[sexy_gt]

for cadwell, the cheapest was £160 and i think thats quite good, as cadwell is amazing. is sooo smooth & as they say, its the mini nurburg (i wish i could afford the £800+ to go there...)
that £160 is for a full day, for a 2.5hr session of an evening its £99 so if you look at it that way its a bargain!!!

but, if you compare it to RWYB prices, it is steep. but much more fun and enjoyable.
