Let me know when you've found one and I'll nick the keys

Paul Newns · 2 Nov 2007, 11:23 (Ref:2057631)

Keys! What kind of a scouser needs keys to start a car?

Hepatic · 2 Nov 2007, 13:17 (Ref:2057773)

one in exile?

yer, you wanna get summat from a scrappy and thrash it for the day, it'd be fine by me

rescue dude · 3 Nov 2007, 09:29 (Ref:2058484)

I think the Dude exchequer can afford a whizz round Oulton.

Be rude not to. Thanks Steve.

MacGWC · 3 Nov 2007, 13:20 (Ref:2058568)

B****r! I have just booked to be away for all those dates!!!

mmm_five · 3 Nov 2007, 14:09 (Ref:2058591)

I'm bringing the old uberbarge - not done any trak days in it yet, although it's younger sister did about 20!

The STIG · 4 Nov 2007, 12:04 (Ref:2059241)

Okay, what do you do if you have neither BMMC or MSA registered number?

Have you ever marshalled an MSV event?

The STIG · 4 Nov 2007, 16:02 (Ref:2059356)

no - although I ask the question on behalf of my mate. who hasn't either.

PaulPerkins · 4 Nov 2007, 18:35 (Ref:2059441)

Yay! Thanks, Stephen - and all at MSV!

Now booked at Oulton (though used my numberplate in all the excitement!).

that's one less Range Rover then

**Stephen Green** · 5 Nov 2007, 13:42 (Ref:2060178)

Stig, if you/your mate are both marshals and are waiting for an MSA number, then may I suggest you give them a call to see when it will be issued?

We have to have some way of ensuring people who attend are bona fide marshals and BMMC number or MSA licence number are the only two safe ways.

**Stephen Green** · 5 Nov 2007, 13:43 (Ref:2060181)

I should add that the track days are really intended to thank those marshals who have helped MSV through the year, although it is not mandatory.

Stephen, any confirmation yet on the availability of helmets at Oulton?Thanks

**Stephen Green** · 6 Nov 2007, 12:34 (Ref:2061123)

Afraid not (confirmation that is) as I am busy at work and haven't had the time to check yet.

No, I don't think so! I keep a BMW M5 for high days and holidays - and track days for as long as the brakes will hold out. Brakes are generally good for about three laps then you have to come in to cool them, a common fault with M5's. A friend I do track days in Europe with has just fitted a new set of Brembo type brakes; we will have to see how they perform!

My wife has just taken on a new Golf R32 but hides the keys the minute track days are mentioned!

Best wishes for another excellent series of track days for those able to attend.

Sensible woman - obviously seen your driving

Wearing out the brakes on a BMW M5 in 3 laps indeed - pah!

Honest!!

I'm reminded of an old Mounting Biking Tee i used to wear.... it said on the back: 'To Brake is to Admit Defeat'

I tried that, unintentionally, at Oulton once.

Unfortunately I found out that the gravel stops an M5 quite quickly, and it's much harder to extricate a 2-tonne barge than a 500kg Caterham

danccooke · 7 Nov 2007, 12:28 (Ref:2062056)

Dee and I will be at the Brands Day, if it is anything like last year then it will be fab (and cold) Will do my best to have the mini there but at the moment looking like it will be the GTI instead, who knows if i pull my finger out might be both.

Aardvaark · 7 Nov 2007, 20:06 (Ref:2062398)

No Oulton for me - I'll be in Egypt checking out dead fairies and triangular pointy things. Damn, that probably means I've visited the curse of Da Mummy thing on me - Oops!

Have a great time guys - but I'll be a lot warmer than you!

The STIG · 7 Nov 2007, 21:23 (Ref:2062447)

Looks like I won't be joining you after all - Have a good time those who are going and thanks to all those involved in setting it up, I'll join you sometime!

Red_08 · 7 Nov 2007, 21:40 (Ref:2062460)

Wow. Thanks to all those involved in organising this.
I'm going to check I can get the day off work and then hopefully the SX will be able to spread it's legs on track (Oulton). May even turn the boost up if I'm brave enough.

vw_nut · 11 Nov 2007, 21:45 (Ref:2065197)

well my new to me lupo will be at brands and oulton racing if a 1.7 can ever be called that arund to watch sorry i hold you all up not as quick as my bug was i'm afraid
