Right then, just got off the phone after speaking with David, the course secretary - helpful chap, he's happy for this to go ahead. The hire charge until the end of 2014 is £600 a day. It's a pretty 'open' affair, a case of pick the key up in the morning and take it back in the evening, leave the place as you found it, sort out your own problems if anyone crashes or gets injured! He said the cost may increase a little in 2015, but when I kinda plucked £650 out of the air as an 'example' he said he didn't think it would be as much as that. There is a catering company he uses who can supply a full day package (snacks, lunch, drinks all day) for about £12 a head on top if we want. He would prefer a weekday since the weekends are busy with car club events and other things such as cycle races. I have put forward an estimated date of mid-late Feb to early March and he was happy with that (sprint season / testing doesn't start til mid March) - but hasn't got a 2015 diary just yet so ask me to call back in a couple of weeks. He mentioned the maximum number of cars suitable for the 'top' loop was around 10, and you could possibly have 15 if you used the full loop (but IMO that doesn't add a lot of benefit, in fact all it adds is one flat out corner and the temptation to rag the shit out of the car from a standing start). I also think the day would run a lot better with someone organising this - informal timing is allowed so we could run a leaderboard which would give people an idea of their progress throughout the day - and I'd be up for doing it if nobody objects. In return I'd like to pikey a lap or two in a few people's cars cos I find it great fun driving different cars Also happy to do some informal instruction if there's someone else who would 'take the reigns' and do timing / organising for a bit. All sound good still? More info / rules below: CURFORM7B ORGANISED TRACK DAY.doc

About 3 years ago?

I nearly commented too, haha, but can see a difference between the bulbs. However, how often do you get out of your car with the headlights on and look at it?

Both of the above!

Appropriate.

That's interesting, I've never heard / done that - but it does make sense! Got me wondering now, haha.

Yep, sticky slider. You should be able to open the brake master reservoir and push the piston back, rather than opening the bleed nipple.

Could always put the standard spoiler back on, at least that will match (and look loads better too )

Funny how they wouldn't when it actually had some sort of impact on anything...

Trialtech will be fine, that amount of variation in chainline doesn't matter at all.

And there's no 'the'! Just spent about an hour playing Road Rash, awesome

Haha. It is a very nice thing to do, can't deny that

You mean she's got an internet connection?

I see what you mean. My brain doesn't have enough power currently to explain what I'm trying to think, I'll try again later.

Quite like the double points idea but I think it should be used in a higher number of races, so if you have a mechanical / end up somewhere near Maldonado you still have a few chances to beast the points.

Can I have my 5 mins back please?

It'll either be... - Bolts are too tight (undo then and just nip them up VERY gently, it doesn't have to seal under pressure, only gravity) - Excess fluid, wipe off and away you go

Had a positive reply with a number to call to discuss. Will get onto that asap

That's cos you're a dick though, nothing to do with fixing their car

It does genuinely work. The amount of cars my father in law used to 'fix' by doing it is unreal! Granted that was 20-30 years ago but it still applies...

Good thinking - Italian tune-up time

If you spend most of your time and money cleaning it, you're wasting time and money you could be spent maintaining it mechanically, which is the important bit A car is a mechanical device which has a purpose, it's not a cosmetic accessory (IMO!).

Ditto! And I'd never touch a car that's been detailed to within an inch of its life.
