Donington 3rd Decemer

[Davenotouring]

Hello Chaps,

I'm doing a track day with www.track-action.co.uk on the 3rd of December at Donington.

Just though I'd post up and see if anyone else was interested in coming along!

I might stay in a hotel the night before so that I don't have to get up tooooo early.

Anyone?!!

[Russ]

Not interested in the track day, but a meet in the pub would be good (if you stay in a hotel that is)

[Andy335Touring]

I can't afford to do the track day but i will pop up and see you, if my dosh is looking better in the new year i hope to do a day at dony end of jan or in feb.

[Davenotouring]

Russ, 'not interested in the track day'

You big girl!

Get your car on track!

I will be up for a 'pub meet', I think I'll book that Friday off!

Andy, shame you can't do the track day, I am making the most of not having a mortgage at the moment!

Anyone else interested?!

[JCB]

i am making the most of being married to a doctor !!! so might be going to that one. I am off to cadwell on nov 19th with easy track. looing at oulton with track action on dec 10th or dec 17th (only Ԛ£110 for oulton!!). i only live 50 miles from donnington so know it quiet well so will possibly be tempted.

you could always put a tent on my garden to avoid hotel costs !!!

~ Im deffo up for this, just need to get a job!

[Davenotouring]

Come on people!

This is Donny, a decent surface and a legendary track!

All you M3 boys, get them out and show us how quick you are!

This is cheap for Donny, I will even buy you a pint after!

[GavinJ]

I've booked up, i'll be in the mg though - I wasn't planning to do another trackday until i did the V8 convesion but i couldn't resist at that price as its an excellent price for an open day at Donny.

Like Dave said it's a superb track and this will be 4th time there - one thing to bear in mind is that its very slippy in the wet so take it easy at first, as its likely to be wet at that time of year

Plus you'll get the opportunity to buy some proffesional pic's of your car on the track - this was taken at Donny,


I've convinced my mate to go in Mk2 Golf Gti and it's his first time on a track but its an ideal day for your first time - free instruction (usually costs about Ԛ£25!)

[Davenotouring]

Brilliant stuff Gavin.

I'm probably going to be staying at the MelbourneView hotel the night before so that I don't have to get up at 4am that day!

Can't wait.

Hoping it's not wet, at least some of the time.

[Andy335Touring]

Which car are you using Dave, the Honda ?

[Davenotouring]

Yeah, using the Civic.

It's more of a track car than the touring by a long way. I've sorted some 15" wheels now, so can use decent rubber.

I am tempted to build a 325i Track car also. But this would start to get very expensive!

Hope you can make it down at some point!?

[Andy335Touring]

I will be there mate

[Davenotouring]

Good stuff mate.

I am looking forward to it immensely!

[billgatese30]

i might pop down to this...especially if its turing into a mini meet.

not going round like but would be happy to spectate and take any pics for people if they like...not that they'll be up to craigs standards or anyhting, but piccys all the same

[M3Imy]

I might be up for this. Need to do a track day before this year is up!

[Andy335Touring]

What car have you got now Imy ?

Have you still got the Z3M coupe ?

[billgatese30]

i think he got an RX8 Andy.

[Andy335Touring]

i think he got an RX8 Andy.

cool

[M3Imy]

Andy

Still have the ZM Coupe. Rags got the rx8. Will have the brakes upgraded by then hopefully.

[Davenotouring]

Imy,

Perfect opportunity to go out on track, free ARDS instruction on this date!!

That's the first thing I'll be doing!!

[Lloydie38]

I'd love to come but there's a track day on here on the Isle of Man
so I'm going to that and then I don't have to get on a ferry in a rough December Sea

[325CAB]

How much is it an where do you sign up? Silly question but does ypur car
have to be fully road legal to take it on the track?

[Lloydie38]

Ԛ£80 for the day or Ԛ£40 ish for the half day (4 hours)

It doesn't have to be road legal, many cars arrive on trailers. if you go to www.duketrackdays.com/ you can see the info there.

The map of the IoM track is on my site (see www below) There's also a Kart track right next to it which can be hired for the day / party etc

Track day for 2006.....????

I'll look in costs of the Ferry crossing, overnight stay and a track day and post it back on the site in another post.

Cheers

[M3Imy]

Imy,

Perfect opportunity to go out on track, free ARDS instruction on this date!!

That's the first thing I'll be doing!!

Cool. Will try my best to sort things out so i can get there.

[Lloydie38]

Sorry, no intension to hyjack the subject, I thought M3Imy was asking me a question re the IoM track day but I can see now that M3Imy was not asking me at all..

Oh I'll shut up and go back to sleep ...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[DawieM3]

I will be going in my E30 track car. Lets hope its dry.

Look for the stripy M3 No 69. Will also have lots of cardboard around the airbox though, as I suffer from induction noise.

Come and sam hello.

Regards,

Dave

[Demlotcrew]

Ill be over to have a look dave!

Andrew

[Jhonno]

[Davenotouring]

You may as well blow up the old (G-) Unit!

[Jhonno]

(lol)

[Davenotouring]

(lol)

So is it just me, GavinJ, and Dawie who are going from here?

And only Dawie going to be in an E30?

Poor show chaps! There are seven CRX's and Civics going from the Honda forum!

[magoose]

[Andy335Touring]

is there a meet in december, if there is you can count me in to

This is on the 3rd of December, pop up as it will be a nice mini meet as well as a track day.

Where are you from ?

[Davenotouring]

It's not a meet as such, it's a track day...

You are more than welcome to come and watch.

Have a look in the meets section for proper meets!

[magoose]

what time is best to pop up because i will be traveling up from near cardiff and i dont want to miss it and need to compensate time to keep adjusting my carbs as they are at the end of their days
