    I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and
    driving.

    As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the
    authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years.

    A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and I
    had a few too many glasses of wine. Knowing full well I may have been
    slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before .... I took
    a bus home. Sure enough I passed a police roadblock but as I was on a bus
    they waved me past.

    I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have
    never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it from!

    Dunlop claimed a couple of casualties on Tuesday, an EP3 Civic had to be lifted out, I think there were a couple of others in there too. An EVO X that was freshly imported ended up going off at Honda, poor chap also had gearbox troubles, it's an auto/flappy paddle and refused to shift. I was lacking top end grunt but with the right work my car can be quick around there. I did a few 69's but with tyres, power, more track time for me I could get it down to a 65 as a road car

    The first and only track day I did a CSL crashed at they tried to lift it with a fork lift but I don't think the forks would fit enough under the car to move it.

    I would have vomited if that was my car :eek:

    I wouldn't mind doing this Porsche day, any feedback on it?

    Don't really know much about it myself, one of the others might though

    TBH the Open track days used to have a bad name for messers but I find them the best now, the standard of driving is way better than on the club days.

    On a couple of previous club days I was on one car had no brake lights, another guy got out of his car and was looking under the bonnet just before Dunlop when I cam screaming towards him in my Integra (much much quicker car than the above civic)
    Another guy ran out of fuel going around turn 3. It seems the pendulum has swung and all the idiots seem to go to club/forum days now

    Are people thick?? No brake lights or petrol. I know a young lady who went out on track in her car with the oil light on.......


    Q big bang and new engine..... I dunno madness!!! I don't know much about the mechanical end of cars but I know how to fill it with oil and petrol and how to drive to the garage to get a bulb changed!



    Oh and it's officially summer the ice cream man just came into the estate!!!

    Yep, people really are that thick. At another trackday, I was in the paddock between laps and I heard 'could the person walking on the track please return to the pit lane' over the tannoy.

    Brake lights are hugely important out there because if you get into a bit of a dice you'll be up the jacksy of the car in front.


    We should organise a boards trackday, we'd need about 40 people to make it work
