Q539 JCP Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Glad you're all getting ready. Q539 is still in bits - I'm doing bit of a re-wire behind the dash - and that 4age I bought nearly 10 years ago is still sat on a pallet in my shed - so I'll be in the E36 which is what I really should be in at this event anyway! Some of you may have had an email from me - I'm going to try and organise a group shot and maybe a few words to send in to Westfield World Looking forward to meeting you all Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt nossiter Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This group shot is starting to become a tradition when theres a few of us about , we did the same at the Trackaction day last year ( or was it early this year ? ) at Oulton Park . I'm definatley up for it Nick , and if we're really getting desperate I might even be persuaded to do the write up as well ( but we will have to pretty desperate for me to do it ! ) Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCallMeMac Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 For what it's worth, here's an extremely brief clip of conditions at Silverstone Arena Circuit yesterday, with the BMW Car Club. I think I was one of the lucky ones who managed to at least 'sniff' the track, for a moment after the sighting laps as, after returning to the pits and after a succession of red flags, activity was suspended for an hour or so, before the decision was made to cancel the day, due to the difficult and persistant conditions. A pity but, taking everyone in to consideration, probably the right decision, as you can see the amount of water being shifted by my CR28's and all-round visability was a complete b'std, although the application of a little Rain X helped a tad. Regardless, it was good to see Steve H, Matt, Chris, Nathan, Adam and Justin (briefly), but the good news is that Silverstone Circuit agreed to give the club another day FOC, this side of Christmas, so we'll get to meet up again soon.

XTR2Turbo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Yes it was very very wet. A good decision. I think even though it dried out a bit later it would have been 3pm before the track was clear of standing water. I felt sorry for the chap that left his keys at home and headed off to collect them. My brother made a late call not to take the Westy and stayed up until 02:00 to get the Porsche ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Justin I have a friend that couldn't make this but will hopefully make it when rescheduled. So once we get a date, if you get probs attending let me know and I'm sure Nick would let us make a swap David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new date looks like it maybe Nov 8th - the day after our Snett trackday - nothing is set though. I'll know for sure later this week.
