It all starts with a large patch of grass. Its missing something, besides the large van full of beer in the distance

Its back again for another year.

Looking good

Depending on your demo, I can't see me leaving without either the 4-channel or 8-channel, so please take whatever you need. I'll also be looking for the carbon plate and the decals.

Thanks again to @Stuart Faulkner - Shows & Events Coordinator for his time assisting with the marquee set up, and ensuring all the beer and equipment are there on Saturday ready for set up. The weekend would not run as smoothly without all this activity before the weekend. Buy him a beer..if you can't do that (well it's free), you can join the team organising Stoneleigh next year... every little bit helps (you don't need to be full time )

Based on the lousy traffic/tractors/loose chippings etc experienced on my way there last night, meeting up earlier would probably mean starting out on Wed

Most enjoyable if all to brief run out last night, thanks guys! Anyone fancy something longer for June - could perhaps do the Buxton chippy run if we could meet up a bit earlier?

says the gentleman who put his r1r's on backwards lol

Well I've made it, car is all back together had running on the drive and the water temperature sat steady at 98deg so just waiting until midnight to tax it . straight to the garage and fill with fuel in the morning and I'm hitting the road for stoneleigh , see you all there

Yeah you're right with all the rushing around I've got it confused with insurance .never mind at least it saves me staying up tonight lol See you there

Close to the beer, short walk to the loos.

I'm meeting @Kevin (Mr T) - Essex AO for breakfast at 7.30 in Boreham McD so that he can buy me a McMuffin. That means we should arrive at Flamstead Esso filling station (NOT the truck stop next door) around 9.30-9.45, @jjhlawson. We'll grab a coffee and then head up the A5 to arrive before lunch.

Great news! Nice weather to pick up a new toy too!

GDPR summarised: 'Hi guys, anyone know a GDPR expert?' 'Yeah I've got a good one.' 'Oh sweet, can you give me his email address?' 'No.'

It's getting better.

No - I'm going on the Monday

Excellent, @Bagpuss & @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretaryusing headsets, would be a good trial.

I showed that vid to my Mrs this morning.. first thing she said was I wonder if you can get a gopro mount in Jack Russell size? Here's Louie and son this morning taking a dip.

Out of all the slicks I've used, the Hankook ones seem to be the best. I used to use various Michelin sizes a few years ago .. ex F Renault I think, and it was a bit hit and miss whether you got a good set. If you go for Hankook, the c92 compound is the one to go for. There are c72 ones about, they're OK but a bit harder imo. And yes, the 180s seem to be 200mm wide. I have the slicks on 8" rims, and the wets on 7". I originally used the slicks on 7" rims too, they were OK, but just feel a bit sharper on 8"

Andrews session above from my pov. Skip to 4:00 to see the difference between a good driver on race slicks and a crap driver on road legal trackday tyres... ...and I've got 40bhp more!!

Sounds like a great plan. I hope to have my car working well by then..... Thanks to Ian for the lift and Andy for my pending lift to stoneleigh on Sunday

My FreeWheel setup will be there too, available for demo’s!

See you at Stafford services circa 9am, I'll be waiting here: Though my car might be slightly more noticeable this year and I won't be stood in @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary shadow as you should have collected him earlier at Sandbach with @greenstreak and @westyjord87

Hi Nigel, I'll have a demo kit with me plus one 8 and one 4 channel kit. Let me know if you'd like one of those, otherwise I'll be giving free postage for any show orders.

7 Westfields and a Lotus 7 at May’s meeting, everything finalised for Sunday’s run to Stoneleigh. The car park will be coned off next month so we can all park together.

The cars fine - But the driver!!!!!!

Massive thanks Marcus. Eight minutes from posting to getting a response, don't you just love this club As posted above, if anyone fancied a drive out all be it 60% motorway then why not. Back in time for the beer.

If you don't have any luck down your way and you can do me a sketch of what you want I can make it for you but I'm in the midlands
