Na, 20 min sessioned, but there's a cracking mix of cars.
Me and Indykid will be there, but not in a kit.

No, dont need a garage, we've got a roof. Couple of other pals booked in too, Honda Intergra, and a 2lt Nova. Proper little tin top battle.
Hoping we dont have bother with the noise, cos the Civic sure sounds loud at full chat. Have an add on little Merlin silencer just in case.

I've got a feeling the groups will be re-shuffled, looking at the numbers. There are twice as many novices and intermediates as experts.
Will come and say hello.

The weather forecast is looking very FWD hatchback friendly. Shame, cos we wanted to see how the Civic goes in the dry..

was an absolutely brilliant day. between the weather changes we got some very slippy slidey and encouragingly grippy laps in. if only it wasn't
for that silly bloody astra binning it or breaking down on pat's laps, it'd've been perfect.
if you get round to looking through the footage andy, i know i'd be interested to see pat's tankslapper in the first session!
nice to put a face to a name and have a chat anyway. it's a rapid civic you've got yourself there!
hope you got back safe

Yep, echo those comments, cracking day. A lot drier than I was expecting.
Will try to get Pete to put together some MX5 footage, in the meantime there's a bit of video

Looks like he's quickly getting to grips with the civic now,and that little nova had some grunt in a straight line,although he looked a bit
unsteady in the corners,what size and type of tyres are you running on the civic?

Wer'e sure that Nova has Nos and it was running on slicks.
We could catch him in the corners.
And yep - Andy's Civic was flying.
I'll get my footage sorted for every time you flew past!

Yup, was double driving my son, Pete's Civic. Bet you were looking for a green Westy?

That was the first time we'd driven the car in the dry, was well chuffed with the road holding. Tyres are 195 50 15 Toyo 888s. The Nova has a
2lt red top fitted, with nos, but he swears he wasn't using the nos! It ended up with 888s on the front and slicks on the rear.
And a few pics from the day...

Sorry to miss you all, I was there from about 9.30 but not in the MNR Not quite ready yet but did a bit more when I got back. Just cycle wings and
coolant to go
Was hiding in the garage area due to the rain and cold at the beginning of the morning. Spoke to my mate Bob who had the blue Scooby and Darren Wake
turned up as well!
The Nova did look canny fast and it had a big NOS bottle in the back!
Have to say the most impressive car was that big BMW saloon. M3 was it? Super fast down the home straight and silent.
Keeping out the house cause she's not speaking still.

Bloody hell. Darren W there, and he didn't say hello! 
Think the BMW was a new M5, we were thinking it'd have all the electronics switched on and a sat nav saying, "brake, and turn in
now!"

The BMW i saw looked like new shape M3. Dark graphite grey colour. Very nice indeed. Also a nice Alpina B10 in car park (mid blue S-reg).

there was an m3 and an m5 there. the M3 was quick. the M5 was absolutely ballistic.
whether the m5 was driven by someone with a heap of skill or if it was just making it up on the straights, it was making maybe 4 or 5 seconds a lap on
everything else, every lap.
