¼ Mile At Pod - Saturday October 19th

[MartinR]

Doesn't matter what you bring Lee i will destroy it

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Easy

Clutch down, select 1st, stamp on go pedal till the limiter kicks in then let the clutch out..

Jobs a good un.

it's Auto, I think it goes, Traction control off, Sport mode on, S-tronic box into "S" , Left foot on brake, floor the right foot...

Trouble is if you press anything in the wrong order it doesn't work. Also you're supposed to do 15 (iirc) launch controls before things gets fucked, I did more than that in the first week of ownership. last time i tried it got into 3rd gear then wouldn't let me select up or down.

Got the keys to my house last week and I want to decorate the entire upstairs before I move in. Even with putting in 24hrs at the weekend and going for 4 hours per night (after work), I'm stretched and need all the time I can get to meet my deadline.

Sounds like you need to brush up on your decorating skills

And if you need any plumbing/heating works Tom just give me a shout and I can help

Well unfortunately, I spoken to Ben today about it and he's down for work on that Saturday. And how things are going at work I think I'll be working that Saturday too.

Can't turn down work

 

[DaveDreads]

Life's so expensive atm that no one can afford turn down work.

At this particular moment in time I can't afford to go anywhere,
however I know i'm getting some invoices paid before then so I should be fine for a days blasting.

 

[cs_dave]

What's the plans for saterday guys. What sort of time we meeting? If after 12 I will go to work

 

[MartinR]
