slippy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Jammy fookers Still I'm out in the Burgundy Bullet tomorrow night Good luck biglad let us know the outcome and get soem pictures of any mumble girls when they hand you the trophy Top night I can't believe it's legal no major incidents bar a tree strike and a snapped exhaust bracket after we got the Burgundy Bullet air born over a bridge. This was the only pic I got although the organisers took a couple, one of which is me conked out after entering a ford with a shade to much enthusiasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 jockhill was superb 350 miles all told (140 miles each way plus 70 miles on track). can highly recommend the trip, day was very well run and standard of driving was good. great fun track. Did it stay dry for you Mike? Any bonny pics/vid? Totalled up my mileage yesterday, 287miles. That's about 140 on track. Used £70 of fuel, rough mpg must be about 16 to the gallon average for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yuk Yuk, there were 25 cars in total and most were 205 gti's with a couple of Nova's and civics thrown in. That mini was fooking quick down the lanes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid life crisis Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Well at least you and the car got back in one piece not easy averaging 30 mph is it. When I used to do it the field was full of Escorts, Talbot Sunbeams, Avengers and the occasional Godfrey Davis hire car . When is your next event Mike.

Mid life crisis Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 The VK in Derbyshire I think but it's a long old way to drive a 1400 astra Think I have been spoilt Why not trailer it on Friday night and do a B & B with SWMBO and make a weekend of it.

slippy Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Not a bad idea but SWMBO thinks I'm mental as it is Trailering is frowned upon in the Road Rallying world I'm skint Our trailer is only '7' size and the astra dwarfs the poor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oioi Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 jockhill was superb 350 miles all told (140 miles each way plus 70 miles on track). can highly recommend the trip, day was very well run and standard of driving was good. great fun track. Did it stay dry for you Mike? Any bonny pics/vid? Totalled up my mileage yesterday, 287miles. That's about 140 on track. Used £70 of fuel, rough mpg must be about 16 to the gallon average for the day. 70 miles was about right as it was only 9-1. track was very greasy to begin with but dried up nicely within an hour. started raining about 12:30, but i had run out of fuel by then, so called it a day as i knew i had to drive back home and had been "ahem" pushing my luck a tad at times. didnt bother taking a camera. fortunately others did lots of photos here and here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul M Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Was not so impressed with the Willwood smart pads, need to change them for something better. What was pedal feel/stoppig power like with the wilwood's ? What didn't you like about the pads ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
