Ian Gratton Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Well, we had a nice successful day over at donington on sunday. The car ran all day in both of the sessioned groups without a single problem or failiure I can't link to some of the pictures on here so you will need to go visit the xtr2.net forums to see the rest. Anyway...here we go In the pit garage - we drove it there - took the plates off and adjusted the ride height. Plenty of folks take theres on trailers but wheres the fun in that The pit lane The pit straight On the way home The trackday trio - lynnes track escort cossie, Andy's 530bhp RS500, and our little car Mr Felstead popped along with his very very trick bullet cameras. Needless to say they were mounted on the car and we have a few short videos for you. Craig in the hot seat Me in the hot seat don't take the mickey about the speed - we are still learning to drive the car. We are MILES away from what it can do in the right hands (John managed 130+ through crainer and 140 down the back straight which is quite quick I guess).

Ian Gratton Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 We were going to do Oulton park this weekend - but I'm busy. Next one will probably be easter monday back at Donington again. Has anyone seen the new track that has just opened near Loughborough its in this months circuit driver. At present they are not doing public trackdays which is a shame. I'll get its name for you when I'm back home tonight. Maybe the club could try to book an event there Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananaman Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Ian Whats going on at Oulton this weekend? I live round the corner from the track (well 20 odd miles away) & will be around on Sat, any chance of a ride (oh please, go-on, go-on, go-on, go-on, go-on, go-on........................)

Ian Gratton Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 Public trackday at Oulton this weekend. We won't be there - but a few friends will be. Good friend Chris King will be there in POC's Zei Cossie westi (Paul sold the car last weekend) - I'm sure he will take you for a quick spin. As for the police... A few weeks ago we were out and about in the car and we bumped into craigs friend who has a 360 moderna. Whilst in convoy we passed 3 separate police cars and nobody blinked an eyelid. Craig has been pulled in the car before mind - but it didn't have a reg plate on the front (he was driving to get one at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Gratton Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 LOL !!!! we didn't use the mic whilst filming as the battery was flat. John sent me the videos and I figured they were without sound - I think he is havin' a laugh !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveF Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Just looked on Mellows website - and he's got the westie in the for sale section -but without a price Does this mean he's keeping it - or is Oulton Park a try befor eyou buy event? If that's the case I may go along and kick the tyres a bit Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Gratton Posted March 13, 2003 Author Share Posted March 13, 2003 You'd need to check with Chris...I think all of his cars are for sale if the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyAndy Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Has anyone seen the new track that has just opened near Loughborough its in this months circuit driver. At present they are not doing public trackdays which is a shame. Ian, I assume you mean Prestwold Hall ? We are running the first of, hopefully, many trackday there on Friday 4th April. Venue is fantastic with a lot of money being spent on facilities as well as the track surface. Only downside is that we have noise limited the day to 98db static -- Andy BookaTrack.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
