Hope you all had a good time guys :nod:
Sorry about my 20 minute visit, I didn't expect to be discovering even more problems when I got to wales :( :annoyed:
Well, it seems that the cause of the smoke is most likely the tubby :cry:
On the bright side though, I now have a metal HG and the water leak should be fixed :wack:
I don't think I even managed to say hello to everyone. so, sorry for that :o
looking forward to the pics :thumbs:
Tim
Tim, you didn't miss much, it was pants....
Nah, it was an absolutely blindingly brilliant day. Had the most fun I've ever had in my 200 :notworthy Everyone was very sideways when it was wet, then extremely sideways when it dried out :D
We had shredded tyres, spins, trips up the embankment..... and something else which I think Nicely should post about when he has the pictures. Suffice to say Algie is never going to live it down :D :D
Just in case I haven't made myself clear, I had an absolutely storming day and am still grinning. :D

Well what can I say?
Absolutely top meet, got to be my best yet :nod:
Can't wait to see all the pics and vids of all the thrills and spills :thumbs:
Thanks Nicely :notworthy
Oh My God!!!
What a cracking day out. I had a brilliant time, I don't think I can express what a laugh I had (apart from a slight technical faux pas!!!).
A MASSIVE thanks to Nicely for sorting this out :notworthy
It was worth three times what we paid to do it.
I've downloaded all my piccies and video to my Dad's PC and they've come out really well.
Once I get home and photoshop out all the number plates I'll post them on here (my mate Scott got some cracking action shots of just about everyone who went on track)
Nicely,
I'm desperate to see THAT picture on a big screen get it on the BB asap mate :thumbs:
I obviously only did it to act as a lesson in what NOT to do on track for everyone else (talk about a school boy error!!!)
The rain cleared up early and the ground dried up..........then a big splosh. :thumbs:
I think its already been said....fantastic day......just looking forward to the pics and video (if any one took any!!!!)... :thumbs: :wack:
I think I've got some pics and video of just about everyone who was on track today (including the new King of turf, Andy - Jez lost the title not long aftyer he left!!!)
Bart,
I've got a couple og cracking shots of you tackling the entry/exit corner!

I can't believe how lucky i was to escape with the S13 in one piece. :o
Thanks to everyone who lifted me off the bank :D
Fantastic day out.
Cheers Nicely!!
I will have some pics up in about 20 mins.
Watch this space!
Hi all i briefly made an appearance (BLACK CIVIC) but turned up at the wrong time really u were all heading off 4 lunch.
The only action i saw was jez loosing it on a bend which way quite entertaining, hope 2 meet u all properly at Jap Fest should have my valve fixed by then. :thumbs:
Yep, cracking day out, even though I was just a passenger :D
Thanks very much to Nicely for organising it, it was a right laugh! :thumbs:
Jeff - good driving mate, I was impressed :)
Jez - shoulda stayed until the track got properly dry ;)
Andy - hope you sort it soon :)
Algie - YOU'RE A NUTTER :D :notworthy
Big thanks to everyone who took me out for a spin, it was fun!

Thanks to everyone, it was a pleasure to assist you all with the event.
Memories of cars beached, spinning, missing fuels caps, mud flaps, power slides will be with me for a while I am sure!
Welcome back any time!
What a great day. Been watching my in-car footage and pissing myself laughing.
I made a special exception to rush this photo through.
Remember boys and girls: when you fill up with petrol, always, ALWAYS remember to put the filler cap back on. :nod: :p

FAO Nicely, Pops and anyone else filming today,
If you've got any footage on a digital format can I grab it from you via MSN or similar as I'm trying to put together a montage of the best bits from the day.

Good morning to you all, a huge thank you to the sxoc lads for letting myself & Simon come along to check the cars and such out for the day. And another big thankyou to Algie & Nicely for the shotgun rides to see what these babies can do :D
Would have got this up last night but came home and passed out due to being up for 27 hours straight by the time I got back :sleep:
Here's the photo's we managed to snap (including some of the Haynes cars as we wandered through there after). There's small avi files there too which the quality of isn't brilliant as they are off the camera :indiff:
Camera work is dire as I'm a bit of a muppet when it comes to them :D Hope you enjoy what we managed to capture, and now it's off to scrape some more cash together for my soon to be new toy.

Why didn't I take my camera?? :rolleyes:
Pinch away Algie, they were taken for everyones enjoyment not just mine :) You were on the track yesterday so we didn't get to thank again for the thrill ride in your motor :thumbs:
Have to say you're a contender for nutter of the day for sure :notworthy
Just quickly edited one of the shots on the webspace as I noticed I stupidly left a plate visible in the background - silly me :rolleyes:

I remember pushing the big top corner a bit harder with each lap- then she stepped out bigtime, and i tried powering out of it. :rolleyes:
i am not even sure if i went onto the grass frontwards or backwards.
Still..A quick trip down to the jet wash and i was back on the track again. :D
The back end slid out on the tarmac, went on to the grass, then swung you right round backwards over that ditch. :notworthy

Started downloading this file. Thought 'why has he taken a picture of some rust' :cry:
Needless to say, I don't see my car from that angle very often :wack:
Ahhh that would be the tyre ripping experience :D Had to get a shot of how badly shagged your rubber was m8.
Great piccie and vid, Wolfe. :thumbs:

Sure its 36, mate? That's one of Algie...
Nice vid, Algie. :thumbs: Shame its got a clip of me doing a :ghey: lap...
Apologies for the poor quality of the video,
My camera is not great quality to start with and having done a bit of editing, then re-saving as a media file the quality took another dip.
It's only my second effort at putting a video together. I hope you like it (Dave, I know the ending is a bit abrupt. For some reason it keeps cutting the last minute off when I try to save it as a media file!!!)
Jez, Many thanks for hosting it :thumbs:
Tom, I wouldn't expect any less from you mate :rolleyes: :p :D
Alg :nod:
Which address did you send it to mate?
I can't find it!
Alg :nod:Sent it to the BT address you've got in your profile.
Most of the crap video is from the Fujis :rolleyes:
Sent it to the BT address you've got in your profile.
D'oh! :annoyed:

Can you send it to my algie@sxoc.com address?

I was quite pleased with it, seeing as I'm using the Windows movie maker that came with the computer to do it. It can probably do loads more than I used it to (I wanted to do some hi-speed bits and audio/video fade) but didn't have the know how get it to work :annoyed:

In all honesty I was trying to get the whole drift thing together, it is WAY more difficult than it looks :eek:

Agreed :nod:
That's what I was trying when I was there previously, After the entire day I think I must have managed to actually drift about 2 corners aswell :rolleyes:
Powerslides and normal sideways is easy on track, drifting is fooking hard as :wack:
Won't stop me from trying again next time though :smash:
