Llandow track day

[Paul L]

Dear All, what a great day!

As with this type of event there is always that doubt will the car be Ok, will the weather be good etc etc etc.

I loved it,

The 3200 auto held its own, although there were a few cars that i let past from a safety reasons you understand!

Cheers to Andy for bringing this together,

Well what next??

Just got back and wanted to add my vote of thanks to Andy for what was a lovely evening followed by a fabulous day of fun and boiled brake fluid. Thanks also to Chris for his tireless enthusiasm and tuition and also for ferrying us around last night. Hope we can do it again in the not too distant future.

 

[Andyk]

yep got home on the tyres and in good time, but was a much drier drive home thankfully.
I gave it all i could, nothing ventured, good to experience what the car could do.

You drove it like you stole it..the only way...

 

[aliquot]

think i may have the bug now

Great to meet you Miles and thanks for the laps in my time of need...........

Yep, once you have done this once there will be no stopping you..

Gutted for you Andy, didn't realise until later that your clutch had given up. Really hope you get it sorted without delving too deep into your wallet.

Top day out and got back to London in one (wet) piece. Great to see y'all again and meet a couple of new faces - top drive from Aliquot as well, really hammered it round

Hero of the day... Simon for driving all the way down in that weather

'Almost' hero of the day... Dom for 'almost' having his first drive!

Looking forward to the next one - are we doing a Goodwood day or is that more connected with the 'other' forum?

 

[Andyk]

Goodwood sounds great but may have left to too late for this year...Plus they are strict on noise and a few may not be able to come...But I will look into it.

Glad yougot home OK Lewis..

i think oulton park is worth a look, it has really good facilities and is a great track.

And very close to you Adam.........Willl check out prices.

 

[marcos]

Was Simon saying that Mallory Park is very lax on noise as well? No limits, or no drive for me

 

[Andyk]

If anyone wants another Llandow before the end of the track day session then I'm more than willing to go again....Only because it's bloody cheap. You can have 2 track days there for the price of Coombe/Goodwood etc.

 

[aliquot]

i would be up for some of that it was really good value.

 

[Andyk]

Would need 20 again to keep it to £79.....Lets see how many would like to have another go there in say Sept or Oct...If enough then I will check what dates available....If we could up the Maseratis then I will fill the rest......

Talking to Mad Chris he had a great time and would do a few things differently next time....I think I would also ask for a 20 min session with only Chris on track giving passenger rides where he could drift as much as you wanted him to....He did have to hold back a bit this time.

 

[SimonM]

Great day guys! Thanks to AndyK for organising - count me in for the next one, wherever it is! Yes, Mallory had a distinct absence of noise testing Lewis... the Marcos sounded suberb!

 

[Andyk]

No problem Simon..great to see you..Hero of the day..You have even got a mention on the Lotus forum Seloc for traveling from London without a roof....Take a look at the pic thread as just about to post a pic of you that just captures the moment.

 

[Emtee]

I'd be up for it Andy, and I can check with Graham and Alan also if we need to make up numbers. By the way, both Graham and Alan extend their thanks, they had a ball. Cheers, Miles.

 

[Andyk]

OK, so thats 5 of us........Shall I give them a ring and see what sort of dates they have left this year........
