Oulton Park 10/02/2010 £129

Ill be on track if l can sneek on for free lol

I've just booked this, I was going to reserve a garage but £25 seems a bit steep to me - it's first come first served for unreserved garages on the day and being feb I don't think it'll be busy - but if anyone does want to book one and split the costs I'd be up for that.

oh and if anyone is looking at booking a hotel for the night before let me know & I'll see if I can get a corporate rate

double or twin room for £40 the night before if anyone is interested.

hmmm might be tempted to go up the night before, i'll see what the garages are like on the day...atleast they are better than the allotment shed we had at mallory.

i still resent having paid for that

if you're going up the night before I'll give you the details of where we'll be staying but you'll have to get in quick, as it's only a small place

lmao I still can't see how they can warrant charging for them

Yeh but lets be honest for the amount of time you spent in them you both got your moneys worth lol

You just carried on covering the track in coolant no wonder they started fetching water out of the lake they hadn't got enough to wash it all away

Funny thing was l can remember laughing like fudge when behind that chaved up calibra when it starting pissing coolant down the front strait. Must have being a pipe that blew off remember seeing him out again later. Little did l know l was probably leeking coolant myself lol

lmfao!! was that the guy that went pop just after I overtook him?

Yeh you was lucky the bastard covered my car in crap lol. Was still on my windscreen on the way home the wipers just made things worse.

Just booked my place!!!

roll on the 10th

know if you're driving up the morning or stopping over?

Ant - Look forward to you being there! more pictures


I went to a trackday today at oulton park, looks awesome! the hills and crests look to make it interesting. Pit garages are like brands i.e not an alotment shed

also did some whoring, aswell so hopefully a few of them will join up over the next few days.

For anybody using the M6 Northbound, add an extra 15-20mins to your journey to what your satnav says, they are doing 4-5 points of Average speed roadworks all the way from m6 jct 8 to j18(oulton)

Deffo cant make it. Race car going in for rolling road and suspension setup the weekend after.

So its a week too early unfortunatley

Someone will have to get plenty of photo's

Cant you drive up to mine/woz's and come up in our cars to cut your fuel bill? + l was hoping to borrow a helmet lol. Im taking mine anyway because l might do a taster session and l want transport back home incase woz runs out of oil

aye aye, i've got an engine full of oil (atm) plus i'm taking 6 litres plus that moleslip that you owe me...not that i'm concerned or anything

think i'm going to bring the same sort of stuff i did last time, will have spare oil, brake fluid & coolant, think I've got some gear box oil too. tool kit, axle stands & a jack. anything else?

A hammer?

Gaffer tape!

wasn't that all that was in the tool box last time

did oulton yet again on the 6th, one of my favourite tracks, have fun

cheers mate, looks a good track I was there spectating a couple of weeks back

i stress this to everyone i go with and it catches everyone of them out, watch out for druids, it looks fast and in perfect conditions it can be, the slightest bit of damp there can send you off

there was a 106 on boddies had only been out for 20 mins and he came in after completly ripping his beam off at druids.

So, tomorrow is the 10th.

Who is going?

Who is travelling on the day?

Are there any meeting points being arranged, or not?

we're going up tonight and stopping at a hotel, welcome to join us 1st thing tomorrow and go together from there?

Otherwise I think we're all just making our way in independently

Just woken up by a phonecall from Woz... Apparently alex hasn't made it...

All that are going, have fun and don't forget the pic's

well, I got 30 miles from oulton before one of my wheels came loose in the roadworks on the M6. Annoying as I thought I'd fixed it.

Ended up on the back of a recovery lorry at 11:30 tueday night getting recoverd to a mechanic. The hotel I booked took it upon themselves to decide they wouldnt let us in after midnight so no point even trying to stop there.

The mechanics tightened the wheel on as best they could but the AA couldnt be arsed to recover us until 6am the following morning. I decided that the best option was to hit the road homewards, and if it went again they'd have no choice but to come and get me.

about an hour from home something else gave up, pretty sure its the exhaust but I actually can't be arsed to find out at the minute. Finally got home at 4am.

Anyone want to buy a 106gti?

I have no brakes

Make that 2 gti's for sale

Got a tenner sat here???

I have also have dead brakes but im not selling lol.

Alex thanks loads for letting me use your track time. Even though l had major brake fade and had to take care of my tyres its was good fun and l defo want to do oulton again once the brakes etc are done.

Oh and l best get saving for fuel lol

Woz, split the 106... I'll take your cams
