[robbo86]

was cool to see you all there, anyone take any pictures....

cotty did your wheels drop off or did i not loosen the bolts enough

[Cotty]

I took about 3 before my camera died. But I saw lots of people taking pictures. I can't even get my 3 onto my PC until I recharge the 4 AA batteries it takes. I need a new camera

It was good to see so many new and old faces.

cotty did your wheels drop off or did i not loosen the bolts enough

You would be lucky to get them loose. I had a Russian weightlifter called Helga torque them up.

Perhaps I should soften up my suspension, I shook the tomtom off the screen on the way home.

[Cotty]

I always love the drive home after these meets. Cold dense air just adds a bit more power, not a lot but you notice it.

[Cotty]

Not worth starting a new thread for two pics

Its why us mere mortals pretend to be racing drivers and the real racing drivers do this



Watch from 0.40 seconds and then imagine doing it at night

[gareth]

scary!!!!
the right tool for the job though

[Cotty]

[DRIFTBOY]

Is that from 'In Car 956' with Derek Bell driving?

I love that video!


That Corvette though, I'm glad I wasn't in the passenger seat!!! ...

I belive so. I have the DVD but too drunk to check

[DRIFTBOY]

Me too!

[jam172]

would she not be german if she is called helga..... olga would be more russian no???

and as for the shatnav youve seen how high mine rides and it drops off the window all the bloody time, i think its just typically annoying

[gareth]

while we are completely off-topic. i was amazed that my (heavyish) tomtom XL didn't fall off the screen once on my trip the the ring, despite forgetting to soften my Leda coilovers from their buttock splitting setting and driving the whole way there and back like that!

[robbo86]

gareth, were you not slightly insulted that your passenger finds it neccesary to wear a helmet in your picture....

[gareth]

not at all! i would have been more insulted if he felt truly safe!
we only had the one helmet between us and felt it most responsible to have it on the only one who wasn't 'in control'! and he's a coward!!!!

I have an XL Tomtom, perhaps I just didn't stick it on properly

Although my suspension is a little stiff

[gareth]

compared to mine, they're girly!

if you fit the tomtom just right, you can probably rest the bottom on the dash to take some of the weight when you hit bumps

[Cotty]

compared to mine, they're girly!

Assuming you have replaced the shocks with solid poles you might be close. I bought a KW kit off a zoner years ago, I thought it was a fast road set up. It turns out it more like a track set up. With the H&R ARB's it corners flat

If I run over an empty crisp packet I can tell what flavour it is.

Ill take you out next time we meet.

[gareth]

hehe, a shock off!

i'll wind the adjusters on my Leda coilovers up another 16 clicks for the occasion

[robbo86]

the pissing up the wall contest begins..... my dads harder than yours.....no my shocks are harder then yours

my shatnav is just a garmin nuvi, not particularly heavy, but always bloody drops off, damn thing

[gareth]

[Steve-E30]

I wont be in a e30 at the next one but i aim not to disapoint

[Speedtouch]

How come you all left so early? I rolled up at around 9:50pm (admittedly a bit late, sorry) and all but one had left

Cotty, I spotted your Touring pulling up in Locksbottom near Orpington yesterday

[Cotty]

I was picking up my TV. I don't remember seeing another E30 though

[Speedtouch]

I was with my folks in their Passat estate - your stripes are very distinctive!

At the moment the diner closes at 10pm due to re-negotiation his opening hours i believe but he can stay open till 11pm if needed
