New poster! (less than 10 posts)
im up for a meet in my let us no
My fives off the road at the min, an if im honest i couldn't afford the fuel to get to wrexham!! lol having no job/wage sucks!!:(
I should be up an running for the summer and if anythings going on i will take a look.
i can sort this our for every one but he will moan like a bitch if the cars dont keep going in the rollers so if people get there engine builds done ect ect i can go to him with a number of people interested
id say 10 minimum :sad:
other than that maybe a road trip to the sunny shores of wales gumball 3000 style :cooter:
im up for this, il bring the clio so we can actually see what the bhp figures are:p
always up for an rr day at pete's place :)
We planning to do a couple of RR days and few tests with civic before rtoc pod day, we may pop over anytime near or after then and also ill bring my 5 and a bottle full of Nos for a laugh..:)
northwest :scratch: to me this is 145 miles south :cry:
if its right time of the month for my pocket might be able to make first event :smokin:
I have been a bit slack arranging the old events of late I must admit!
Sooo is it a rolling road day at Pete's place that people fancy? I can always arrange this. As Russ mentioned - we would definately need a certain amount of cars going on the rollers as he wasn't too pleased last time.
Or...
How about a bit of Karting action in Deeside? I went with a few lads/lasses from work last year and I had a brilliant day. I'd have to look into the cost and how you'd have to pay etc but again I can arrange this if people are interested.
Let me know what you guy's fancy and I'll get on the case. :cool:
I remember years ago lomo doing a carting day, that was great. not done deeside so up for that too. I think we could have both if the organisation was split between a couple of guys - not fair to ask you to do both alex :)
I remember that day myself - excellent day out as you say Scoff! :cool:
To be fair It's not too bad getting the events arranged and organised etc, but if anyone else fancies giving me a hand I'd of course be grateful.
I'll make some enquiries with Pete and also look into the karting situation and post back...
:)
i'm up for doing another tour ;) might make it a bit shorter this time! LOL:ashamed:
i remember it was at warrington ,its £45 quid a head at warrington for the grand prix style race , its always good to meet at tweeks and then go petes , :)
I'm up for a meet
me an my m8 are up 4 a rollin rd day, he is buildin his engine up 2 go in this month anmine is jus sittin in the garage, let us no cheers
so what are people thinking then? is it to early for a rr as people need to get there engines finished and are that fed up with winter they would like to go carting and a rolling road later in the year?
The Circuit Deeside 2-4 hours £35.00 per driver open to public
SPEEDKARTING WARRINGTON 2 hours £339.57 +VAT for up to 20 drivers. or 11/2 hours £254.68 +VAT for up to 15 drivers private hire small group race events
the prices for warrington are the only ones i could find on there site as they dont have a price list that i can see
I'd be well up for that Russ :agree: As I mentioned The Deeside area was cool :cool:
sounds , good who wants to sort it ?? we need dates and deposits etc if thats the correct way to do it ??
I'd like to go go-karting. Show you all how to drive :agree:
unfortunately for you, I'll be in attendance ;)Quote:

I need to defend my title anyways! :devil: Defo need a meeting this way, been way to long...:)
I've just had a chat with The Circuit in Deeside and (as Russ posted) it's £35 per head for the Grand Prix. Each driver is guarenteed a minimum of 5 races and it's £35 deposit (which I can pay if we have enough numbers/people interested) The rest of the money is payable on the day.

Having been myself last summer I'd say it's well worth it
So what do we think?
:)
Right.. Totally confused!? :confused:Quote:

Then when you lot turn up you pay your £35 and that's it.
Aah right, sorry :laugh:
Yeh, I'm up for it :agree:
Get your names down peeps and we'll sort a date/time out ASAP:

Bric

I'm sure you'll be fine. We'll cram you in it somehow! :laugh:Quote:

Im up for a meet, that will give me chance to meet other R5 lovers in the area, ive only met Bric. ;)
Amen! Let's get this organised :)

I think I may be up for this.
depends upon date. :agree:
Right, June it is then.
Leave it with me guys and I'll get back to you...
:)
I've made a booking with "The Circuit" for Saturday 13th June starting at 13:00. Please see the events section.
Please can everyone who's going put your name down so I can let them know exactly how many we have coming.
:burnrubber:
Looks good. I'll be there.
Nice one alex, see if I can do better than 3rd from bottom this time :D
Just thought I'd bump this thread back up as it's only a month away now and to make sure everyone is aware of the event.
Anyone else going can you still put names down so we've got an idea of numbers etc.
I'm looking forward to it - the race is one to get my car fixed-up/MOT'd for the day!
:agree:
Can I bring a couple of mates? If they want to come that is.. :laugh:
Ditto!Quote:

It was a good day wasn't it!
I'll sort another one out for later this year - watch this space.
I think it would be even better if we could get a few more people to attend the next one, maybe even bring a Renault Turbo with them aswell! :laugh:
I nearly brought my red one, but some last minute problems meant I didn't want to risk it. But yeh - my mates were all like 'where are all the Renault 5's? :confused:'
:D
What about a RR day?
