.... BUT ...November...Knockhill...Good weather... Do those words do not seem to go together or is
it just me?
There is a track day at knockhill on the sat 13th november from 12.30 to 16.00 £47 for 3.5 hours anyone up for it??
Drew
I fancy it....
do you need to be a member of the Scottish kitcar club to go?
if so i better give em a call...
Dont think so its not a skkc track day ,its a ssc track day.
ok....
and who are they...?
I hope it is not Saxo Sportscar Club....
i'm there
presume its open to none members
well thats me booked my place - joined the ss-r club...now praying for dry weather.....who else is going?
I have a day off that day.. So I will be there....... BUT ...November...Knockhill...Good weather... Do those words do not seem to go together or is
it just me?
I agree Andy.....dreading the bad weather....I booked a couple of days ago..so its paid no matter how the weather goes...
you booked..? I joined the SS-R club so I could get going..on their site it said there was only 6 places left....
cheers
Colin
Not booked at the mo.. but will be up there all the same.. Ill look out for you
look out for the blue and silver Indy holding everybody up....and thats if it's dry - 1st proper blast in it...gotta try learn to drive it !
Will visit - without car probably.
The SS-R lot are a decent bunch. There's a load of elises going as well.
P.S. If you see an Elise with the reg
N1 TUT , get out of his way. He's mental and he's got a fairly monster Honda engine in the back.
He also drives barefoot....
i have emailed the club but have received no response yet does membership let you see if there are any places left!!??

I'll have a look...
there's 5 places left.....
want me to book one for you?
yes that would be brilliant
Thanks
Graham
It's done but not paid for.....about half of the bookings are not paid for though....assume you can pay on the day....
they are also doing a novice's track morning with instructors....saturday morning - its 55 quid though,
I did think about it...but it would mean being there for 8.30am - its bout 2 hours or so fae me
cheers
Colin
Nice one Thanks for that
Cant wait Double check that rear 140 mph wiggles have that effect on me......

It was a great day....I had a couple of problems though
lost a nyloc nut off my top ball joint - that nearly stopped my fun - despite us asking round we couldn't find one (odd thread on it - UNC?)
so what next?? - off to Mango's house to nick one off his kit!! - what a star!
next thing was the car was down on power...it wasn't scaring me anymore and most cars were passing me...
that was eventually traced to the throttle cable having slipped - I was only getting half throttle
so..back on track thanks to team locost - just to do 2 laps then spin it coming out of the hairpin...missed the porsche that was near me
though
so thanks fella's for all your help and good to meet you all.

thats a good bunch of pics mango...thanks
[Edited on 13/11/04 by colibriman]
What a meet. We had a camera in car that mac killed on the first lap! We think the G forces were just to much for it. My neck is sore from the
outing after the rumble strip trips.
Colin.. your cars a cracker. Good results on the shake down and glad to hear it was worth the wee excusion to MGW HQ to get the bits.
Thanks to Zilspeed , Phoenix, Athoirs, Seabass, Macspeedy senior, Colibriman and Macspeedy for making the last outing of the year a real blast. Enjoy
the pix lads.
Someone suggested a BBQ next season...................Suggested dates please... The mango BBQ is waiting ..........
nice going Paddy some really good shots

Well it's got big bad mad mental wide rear wheels ( at the moment ) and a catalysed R1 motor and a '54' reg.
Does that narrow it down a bit
and and go on tell us
Why Andy Athoirs of course
R1 motor??? thought it was a Fazer engine that was in it?????
Aye - you're right.....
See me - whit a fa**y
[Edited on 16/11/04 by zilspeed]
wondered for a mo if he'd sneaked a new engine in there when we weren't lookin!
Ah he has turned it in to a hovercraft........I can confirm. He has no need for them round rubber things we call wheels. He says that spinng should
now be a lot easier.
Thanks for the old engine mounts Andy.
Did the lift fan and skirt fit ok ! lol
[Edited on 19-11-04 by mangogrooveworkshop]
I remember, I remember !!!
He said it's a Thunderace engine which is like virtually the same as an R1 - sort of, probly.
I think.
