Mako Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 As it was such a nice day today, I got up early and took the bike for a wee run. Decided to head up to Knockhill and see what was going on. Turned out there was a private track day.[] Arrived and guess who was there???[] That's right, a certain Mr Mac[] He also brought along some very tasty machinery with him Rhindpiece's WRX. Very very nice Still looks the dog's Apparently breathing in Methanol fumes had an adverse effect on Scooby[] Fastest thing up there[][] This thing was mental nice Evo Was only there for a wee while but the standard of driving and the machinery on track was very high Craig, great to see ya again bud, sorry I didn't manage to catch you on track but I had to get back down the road. Cheers for the coffee, (he took pity on a daft cold biker) and hope your monkfish was good[] Russ

dan_jess Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Cheers, but im not in a position to buy a car at the mo. How much is it going for as i no sum1 looking for a new car? Thats cool bout GT4! []
craig mac Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Hey Mako You were freezing as were we all, But your Borat and Avid impressions were enough to warm me up. You should be on the stage man, Thought i was going to pi55 myself.[] "That Jade Goody" WICKED! Pity you never stayed too long, However there were a few offs, and a few BANGS as well, Track time was pretty limited and i cleared off about half one. I am told, maybe wrong, but i thing Rog AKA The Admiral went off at the hairpin in that MENTAL Skyline, If this is true Roger, i hope you are ok and the car is not too bad mate[].
STi_Bandit Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Good photos rus, looks like the weather held off just niceley for you all, dad managed to get his bike out yesterday too, before packing it up for winter. Bandit
craig mac Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Quote Great pics and what was Mr Mac doing there? Mr Mac was there scrubbing some more tread of the tyres[]
sheep Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Craig i heard about roger's off. I hope its not as bad as first thought there is a small mention on the mlr and it talks about the car getting scrapped!
craig mac Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 As long as he is ok that is all that matters Car is a bit of a mess though, But that just shows us all, Roger is a very confident,good experianced driver, and the conditions were pretty good too. So lets this be a wee warning to us all, It really can happen to anyone so please be careful out there on track[]
fai17 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Ouch[:'(]sorry to see that...did his brakes failed or something?
The Admiral Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Thanks for the condolences guys... Yip - brake failure at 120mph on Railway -> hit tyres at 60-70mph at Taylor [:'(] At least I got my P.B. lap times of 58s and under before the crash... http://www.lancerregister.com/attachment.p...;postid=1231109 Will post up some in-car vids later, although didn't have camera or data logger on for final session as was running the wideband to try to diagnose a misfire... Car's not repairable, so will be broken for spares... At least Russ and I are relatively unhurt... Rog
sheep Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Rog sorry to hear that, glad that you and russ are unhurt and as has been said before the car can be replaced.
st3ph3n Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Rog, gutted for you mate. Glad you're both alright.
The Admiral Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Cheers Guys [] Yeah - I'm pretty gutted after all the trouble I've had with this car... Here's a vid of the day, with a few Scoobs and EVOs in it - despite a misfire and running low boost, we still had 50+ laps of fun on our last outing... Vid 100MB - Right Click & Save As Please Bye Bye Ciao Ciao [:'(] [:'(] [:'(] Rog
Mako Posted October 31, 2006 Author Posted October 31, 2006 Jeez, just in from work and saw this. I was admiring your skyline on Sunday. As said at least you guys are ok. Craig..........Thank you pleashe Russ
