Getting up at 5:30...I will be already driving by then. Feel sorry for the Northerners (Newcastle/Scotland) if they're travelling on the day...they would be leaving well before crack of dawn!!!

 

[Addicted]

More fool them for not staying the night before then! ;D

But yeah, it is dedication

It will be one of those things that only YOU will notice. If you hadnt said anything...we would probably have been none the wiser.

***I am going to try and run a relatively smooth convoy...steady run all the way if I can help it. Looking to leave Hopwood at 6:30 on the dot. If people are not there, we wont hang around, just in case. Anyone who doesnt have my number, pm me and I will let you know it. Any issues then...let me know on the day.

 

[Cerrone]

[Thrust-Rated]

See you lot tomorrow. I will be convoying with Martin and davo etc. so see you lot at the gates sipping on a whiskey now to knock me out for tonight

 

[MartinR]

mines clean clean and more clean and shall clean again in the morning

 

[Thrust-Rated]

No way! Your mad. I'm up at 5:45 tomorrow. No time to give it another rinse. If I wanted to display my car "clean" I would have camped the night before so I wouldn't have had to drive far.

 

[Cerrone]

Iv left mine in its rain coat will clean it when we are there

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Sad sad boy. Lol

What a brill day out! Just got back Sorting through photos now, gotta say most of mine are drift-related due to having more interest than most of the chavvy cars there, but none the less a good day out!


Drift Rides by matthew-evans, on Flickr

I decided to have a go as a passenger in the drift taxi's, and got the Supra - good choice, however it didn't turn out as planned:





It's safe to say it scared the crap outta me, didn't expect that to happen, but as a bonus got another ride and this time in an RX-7

More to come.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Great day. Best part was going round the track in the 265 trophy. Brilliant. Was so scary though when the driver started to drift it around the corners

 

[littleand]

Glad to see you were ok addicted, saw the Supra come off but couldnt see the damage, awsome bonus for an extra turn

 

[Don]

Thanks everyone for making it a good day. Sorry to Ad (madgit) for him not giving me his mobile so I couldnt let him know.

Was good day and once afternoon kicked in...I've ended up with bright red face due to sunburn!!

Will organise something soon....bear with me

 

[Habitual]

Good day. Shame we didn't do more as a group, got to be honest.

Loved the drift taxis.

Also quite liked the AutoSol demo given by their newest rep:

If you lads knew Kyle and James from a fair few years ago...even Chris would look small compared to those 2...

 

[Thrust-Rated]

No way! It's weird when someone walks past me who is taller. I get a draft over my head. And it makes me feel well small.

 

[Renault Wolverhampton]

[Thrust-Rated]
