Anyone coming? I shall not be running but it would be cool to meet anyone from the board who wanted to come along. There's a very good pub nearby, too :cool:

[eyefi]

i'd like to do that, cos my car should b ready then, but i cant guarantee it will b, so cant put my name down.

it doesnt get hired out much, does it?

Calling IanC, Calling IanC - there is no timing gear there! You are safe to go there....and after all it is only 10miles down the road...

You too Brian Duff its too close to not sign up for! I'll race u in Kate's 206 1.1! :D

Go on Ian. You know you want to. And the pub serves that "proper food" you like so much. Not a drizzle of jus in sight :cool:

Plus we can see whether Angie can whup you round corners, too...

NO CAMERAS ! ! !

What super-secret prototypes will be there then ? ? :conf:

[Digsy]

We don't allow cameras on site at any time, except by special arrangement with Security. Even camera-phones are a no-no. Probably nothing exciting on display, but its a blanket policy.

Think of it as Norfolk's Area 51. :cool:

I've heard about 1 or 2 down there....but it will cost ya!! ;)

[Ian C]

Argh, I was just filling in the form and I had a reality check. Do I want to pay out money to murder my car? Not really :( Tyres, brakes, blowing the engine up, some div driving into the back of me, all that sounds like no fun to me.

Nope, I'm just going to have to build a locost to track and race, I don't want to wreck the Supra.

-Ian

[Digsy]

We could still go to the pub though.

[Ian C]

Sold. Who else is joining me and Darren at the pub (whatever it's called) on the 13th? Darren will name the time as well.

-Ian

[Digsy]

The pub is called the Bird in Hand. The time is currently 16:25, but that's subject to change. :innocent:

I see, just one mention of IanC having to race against Angie again and he's off!

You big girls' blouse!!!:baa: :baa: :baa:

I'll join you for a drink Darren. Angie will have to race round the test track on her own!

Babycham for you then Ian?

[Digsy]

I believe Ian is paintballing that day now (the excuses he comes up with, honestly). I'm planning to get very drunk one night around then - possibly the preceding Friday night - so I'm trying to keep Saturday free at the moment. I'll try to be less girly and undecided nearer to the date. Would be cool to see you and Angie again, one way or another, and Mr. Holdroyd if he's about.

[Soop Dogg]

OK then. Lunch at the Bird in hand anyone???

Let's make a mini meet out of it.:)
