DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Just getting my car washed now for this event, seeing as I won't get chance tomorrow morning. With any luck the rain will hold off between now and then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamscape36 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was contemplating doing that this afternoon but it looks like rain over night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Nooooo! Don't say THAT... Gonna just keep my fingers crossed and throw a bottle of quick detailer in the car! Edited June 14, 2013 by DaveR Typo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yup, of course. Having paid 15 quid earlier to have Suki cleaned inside and out and then spending another hour this afternoon giving her a final shine and treating all of the glass to a coat of RainX, there is now officially an 80% chance of rain overnight. Gutted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamscape36 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm so glad I didn't bother washing mine now lol. That sucks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I guess there's still a 20% chance of no rain, therefore... I'm gonna have to hope for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennK Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, I just finished washing and polishing mine and checking the fluids. All done and ready for tomorrow! And brought an umbrella just in case...I got your mobno from your text Dave. Will text you my location.

GlennK Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Having missed our club stand booking...I managed to convince the Organisers to give us a stand area just in front of the aircraft. So two of us are there now. The entrance stewards have been briefed to direct Supra MKIVs up to our area. See you later. And if we'd got our act together last month - we could have got track time too!! So next year then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty gutted about the latter part there too - I'm WELL UP for driving the Top Gear track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennK Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well, at least I got to be a passenger in the Lexus LFA for 3 laps. Amazing. And the only one in the UK. Gotta be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping there'd be an LFA there, actually. I just want to see one really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamscape36 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 A big thanks to Glenn for arranging this event and apologies to dave for not hanging around to wait for his arrival. After seeing everything 4 or 5 times and it started to rain quite heavily, I left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennK Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Guys for coming. I'll book a club stand and track time for next year. Then we can show those Italian Red and Green cars something... And here's a clip of the LFA I was a passenger in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveR Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'll book a club stand and track time for next year. Then we can show those Italian Red and Green cars something... Hell yes! It's a shame the weather wasn't more agreeable (read scorching!) to be honest - this would be a better event in the sun, I reckon. Anyway, I'm glad I went along and saw what had to be seen. Here are a few photos I took on the day. Supras: And some of the rest: Luuurrrvvve the "Big Wing Pack" on the Murcielago. I'm well up for driving the track next year, although I'm not sure I want some mutant sticky-fingered child throwing up in my passenger seat if I'm mandated to give out passenger rides...
