Morning all. I was planning a little get together for some of the local southern Kent area cars for a Sunday drive/meet up. (Subject to the fine British weather of course) I’ve met a few owners in the Ashford, Folkestone and Deal areas in recent months. It would be great to see a few new faces and with enough interest maybe start a regular monthly thing. I know it’s a bit of an effort at the end of the summer season but it will possibly still be nice in October 🤞🏼 ☀️ Please add your names if your interested below 👇🏻 Route and meet point to follow dependant on interest. Will update In next week or so Ben

Mid week run up to glenshee she will parked for winter at the end of the month few more runs weather permitting. What a picture the best ones are never planed

Crickey - who are we going to moderate now then 🤣🤣

See you all on Sunday ☺️

Good luck Ben, let's hope you get plenty of interest and we can potentially start a new area for the club. Have fun!

Deposit taken on this, thanks for the memories.

Now the cash is (almost) in the bank for the Westfield to go to pastures new, my membership expires at the end of the month so that'll be me taking my leave and maybe doing some work or something. Ten years in the club and I've made loads of great friends along the way and upset an equal number of people who don't have a sense of humour. Its the people that really make the club, so thanks to everyone for giving me the opportunity to take the p*** out of them. Keep smiling, embrace new blood and new ideas and don't take yourselves to seriously.

I'm sure @HB46443 has bought some lovely brand new 'ditch finder' specials. Just send him out to dry the track out.............what could possibly go wrong................ 😉 Have a great day folks!

it does, we will just have a nice green track, not that I think we'll notice.

I can thoroughly recommend Don Palmer- I did a full day 'wetter, the better' at MIRA in 2000. I don't think they let the public in any more, but it looks like he's got other venues. http://www.donpalmer.co.uk/press/driving-ambition.html Money spent on driver training is always much better value than go faster parts!

Did Castle Coombe skid pan about four years ago and had a really good experience. All training was in their cars, an E36 BMW and Ford Focus so you could learn the impact of RWD vs FWD. They cover the pan in some super slippy liquid. If reviews are saying the cars are beat-up old sheds, then that's true, but they're good enough for the speeds you'll do on the pan before losing traction/control. Deeper question - do you want/need skid pan training which is more about how to keep control in adverse conditions albeit at low speeds or do you really need a drift/performance driving day so you learn to handle putting down "too much" power in a good grip situation. I've not done the latter training but I'm thinking the skills required are slightly different and the speeds that things happen is definitely going to be different.

I bought one of those camouflage bins once, but I can't find it...
