You know what I mean.....

I'm in TSG just been a while since I checked it out. Just don't want any unwanted attention to the club, image is everything! Has to be said I really wasn't expecting the Rally School to be charging that much, I have a feeling they'll be mainly dealing with Corporate Bookings from execs at oil firms who bill it to the company credit card!

It's not exactly competitive pricing is it..... I spotted that, would have gone but had stuff on... The flags are in my garage ready for action, I'm sure we can manage something at some point next year. As long as its all legal obviously last thing we need is SIDC flags on display at some dodgy cruise and in the local rag.....

It's near Stonehaven Lewis. I heard back from them today, here's the email they sent..... A bit more expensive than I was expecting! Firstly Thank you for your inquiry. We have 4 Impreza’s here in group N format and would love to have you guys come visit for a real gravel Experience. Below are the Corporate Prices and 1 to 1 prices below, Please let me know if you would like any further clarification on anything. CORPORATE ENTERTAINMENT HALF DAY Half day Course ; (9.00-12.30, 1.00-4.30) Also included: Refreshments. Lunch is also available upon request. Group size: 6-12 and with a guaranteed maximum of six people per car with instructor. Larger groups can be catered for by prior arrangement Cost: £350 per person The details: Our introductory course is designed to teach pupils the basic skills of loose surface rally driving. As an action packed half day it provides maximum fun and excitement as well as all the basic techniques. You'll be amazed at what you can all do! Enjoy the thrill of handbrake turns, power slides, scandinavian flicks and also how to control a car in understeer and oversteer. You will also experience the ride of your life when your instructor takes you on a white knuckle passenger ride at the end of the day. Depending on the size of your group , teams will be split into a maximum of 6 people per car with an instructor and each person will be given 2 sessions firstly in the Front wheel drive ex RallyCross Suzuki Swifts followed by 1 or 2 sessions time depending on the groups speed in the Subaru Impreza 4wd Group N rally Cars. There will a timed lap later in the day for everyone and also a ‘hot’ lap with one of the instructors as mentioned above. After a brief induction in the morning everyone will be given an OMP Race suit and OMP Helmet with Intercom and the day will proceed from there. Coffee and Tea is provided. Lunch with snacks and drinks for the day can also be provided and there is various options on this at an extra charge of £15 per person, this would be a huge sandwich banquet with Soft drinks and Crisps etc from Symbiosis Catering in Aberdeen. Hot lunches can also be catered for by prior arrangement. Each driver stays with the same instructor for the duration of the course and benefits from the continuity and the high level of instruction. Itinerary for the day is as follows; The half day course is a great introduction to the world of rally driving and the special skills professionals use to make their rally cars slide magically from corner to corner. If you've done the Rally Thriller Experience and want a half-day's worth of adrenaline, this is for you too! On your first few laps you'll get used to how a real rally car feels on the slippery, twisty rally special stage. As you start to get quicker, the corners that come flying relentlessly towards you in the first session will slow down, as you control great power slides from one to the next. And then there's the elusive handbrake turn – co-ordinating six things in little more than a second is a tough task! There are plenty of chances to practice though and everybody completes at least one perfectly. When they do, for a fleeting moment, they feel like a World Rally Champion! Your MSA Licensed Rally Driving Instructor will really encourage you to explore your own limits as you scrabble for grip through over three hundred and fifty corners. It's a truly 'mind-blowing' experience that will make you sweat, make you shake and most importantly make you smile! 8.45/12.45 Drivers arrive at Rally Centre Meeting Point - Sign on, refreshments, helmet fitting 9.00/1.00 Briefing by your MSA Licensed Instructor 9.15/1.15 Demonstration laps 9.45/1.45 Rally Driving Sessions 1, 2 & 3 Power slide around 360 corners with 36 chances to perfect your handbrake turns! 12.15/4.15 Debrief, 10 point Driver Assessment and Driver of the Day Trophy 12.30/4.30 Drivers Depart Non Group Prices for the individual are below for reference; Rally thrill experience (passenger only in Impreza and Rage buggy) £125 Half day 1 to 1 rally course in Suzuki Swift Rally Cross car £650 Half day 1 to 1 rally course in Subaru Impreza Group N Rally car £950 Half day 1 to 1 rally course in both Suzuki Swift and Subaru Impreza Group N Rally car £800 There is usually three or four sessions on the track in each car depending on the individual with a little theory and a couple coffee breaks to reflect progress and discuss things like braking points and setting the car up sideways into the corner. If you would like we could scale it down to a morning or afternoon 1 to 1 session using both cars over the space of a condensed couple of hours we could do that for you at an introductory £600 we find this is quite a popular choice at the moment. We find Full day courses are too long for people to concentrate and use them mostly for large groups and corporate days but we do accommodate them sometimes with visitors from further afield who want to condense 2 half days into a day as they ve travelled far etc. Let me know what you think. We can do gift vouchers etc for Xmas presents too so you know in case its of interest. Please let me know if you would like any further detailed information. These Packages and more will be fully listed on our website in the next 10 days at www.aberdeenrallycentre.co.uk The half day course is a great introduction to the world of rally driving and the special skills professionals use to make their rally cars slide magically from corner to corner.

I've emailed the Aberdeen Rally Centre for prices of full and half days. Once I have them i'll let everyone know and see what interest we get, not that it's restricted to locals anyway but we can always put out a national call if we need numbers!

As usual the North East Camera Partnership have decided that notifying drivers of their camera locations is cheating so haven't updated the site for almost a month again. I'll keep an eye out but I think there's more chance of Taff not messing with his car a month than them publishing anything! So here's the details from the Northern Safety Camera Partnership. Northern Safety Camera Partnership deployment intentions w/c 4 November 2013Subject to operational exigencies, the Northern Safety Camera Partnership Mobile Camera Unit will be operating at the following locations during week commencing 4 November 2013: Badenoch, Strathspey & Nairnshire A9 - Cuaich, by Dalwhinnie A95 - Drumuillie, by Boat of Garden A9 - North of Dalwhinnie Junction A9 - Near Dalwhinnie A86 Kingussie to Newtonmore Lochaber A82 - Near White Corries, Rannoch Moor, Lochaber A82 - Kingshouse Hotel, Glencoe A86 near to Spean Bridge Primary School Caithness and Sutherland A9 - South of the Mound, by Golspie A949 Evelix Road, Dornoch Ross & Cromarty A835 - Inverlael Straight, near Ullapool A834 - Strathpeffer Road, Dingwall Inverness A82 - Invergarry Power Station A82 - Altsigh Youth Hostel, by Invermoriston A9 - Daviot, by Inverness A9 - Altnasleanach, by Inverness B9006 - Cantraybruich, East of Sunnyside, Culloden Additional Deployments A9 Dalwhinnie to Scrabster All our camera sites have a proven history of collisions and evidence of speeding vehicles.

Thought you would, I'll not know how much I'll be away until the new year, if they're any good over there I'll not be there much, unfortunately their track record isn't great... I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them! So I could be over there banging heeds together for a chunk of the year?

Looks like we can possibly add the Aderdeen Rally Centre to the to-do list.... Always good to have options

Hahaha 24/7 365.... Again!

Might need some help next year Taff. Looks like I'm getting a new role at work next year with my own project to lead, problem is I'm here in Aberdeen the muppets I'm managing are in Chandigarh in India so I could be racking up a few air miles. I'll organise what I can, might need the odd bit of assistance... Wonder if I can pick up any cheap Scooby parts in India?

Recaro - not bloody recall bloody iPad auto text...... Damn thee

Recall baby seat and off you go......

Thought he might be

Get Mr Shanks on the case, he has history in 'press ganging' fills into RO posts..... Allegedly

The more the merrier Lewis. The only time we usually see you is on the fling..

Look further ahead than usual and allow for the extra time needed to stop. · Always ensure windows, lights and mirrors are clear of dirt before setting off. “ All our camera sites have a proven history of collisions and evidence of speeding vehicles.

There's usually something organised down there for that. Stuff like Crail, knockers, etc are usually have tickets in the club shop or the local RO organises it. Nothing stopping the willing from up here tagging along though

Nothing from the North East yet so here's the information from the Northern Safety Camera Partnership NSCP deployment intentions w/c 21 October 2013Safety camera signs at the side of the road to inform you that there is a history of collisions and high speed on the route so you should reduce your speed and take particular care. During the week commencing Monday, 21 October 2013, mobile safety cameras will be deployed at the following locations: Badenoch, Strathspey & Nairnshire A9 - Near Dalwhinnie A9 - North of Dalwhinnie Junction A9 - Cuaich, by Dalwhinnie A96 - East Auldearn Junction, by Nairn B9090 Cawdor to Nairn A95 - Drumuillie, by Boat of Garden A95 - Congash Farm, by Grantown on Spey Lochaber A82 - Near White Corries, Rannoch Moor, Lochaber A82 - Kingshouse Hotel, Glencoe Caithness and Sutherland A99 - South of Wick at Hempriggs A99 at Mid Clyth A9 - South of the Mound, by Golspie A949 Evelix Road, Dornoch Ross & Cromarty A834 - Strathpeffer Road, Dingwall Inverness A82 - Invergarry Power Station A82 - Altsigh Youth Hostel, by Invermoriston B9006 - Cantraybruich, East of Sunnyside, Culloden A9 - Altnasleanach, by Inverness A9 - Daviot, by Inverness Additional Deployments A9 Skiach junction to Broomfield, Ross-shire A9 between Latheron and Thurso The aim of the mobile camera units is not to detect speeders but to remind drivers of the dangers of inappropriate speed and of the need to slow down. All safety camera sites covered by Partnership have a proven history of collisions and evidence of speeding vehicles. However, drivers may from time to time see mobile cameras at other sites where both vehicle and road users are at greater risk, such as road works. http://www.nscp.co.uk/news ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing from the North East Safety Camera Partnership yet but i'll keep an eye on it as usual.

That could have been the pills Lynne was dishing out though!

Sounds like a plan to me....

I wa thinking about some the cruise's for the drives out... 2 in 1. I didn't miss out the fling, I was only listing stuff in our area that I would organise or ideas for something else! The fling is our beloved deputy-chair dudes dominion. I'll keep a look out for a few other things

Bi-focals I was right....

I could be wrong, but my understanding of it is the up pipe is the bit that goes from the manifolds to the turbo. The downpipe comes out of the turbo to the cats - exhaust....

It's the bit before the down pipe! Up to the Turbo......
