Mallory, next Wed. 31st of January - Page 3

Carrie · 15 Feb 2001, 19:44 (Ref:64932)

I seem to be under orders by a certain webmaster to get some photos of the Clios, so at some point, people are going to have to pose with the cars for some paddock photos

I suppose I might be able to get round to taking some photos of the Min as well

What's happening with Silverstone, are people still heading there on Wednesday as well?

Lorna · 15 Feb 2001, 21:30 (Ref:64950)

I will also be armed with camera - not as nice as Carrie's though but I'll be taking piccies all the same.

We *know* it's a just test day, Rick, but we haven't all been trackside for a while now and we entertain ourselves if there isn't much going on the track. Some people go to Alton Towers or the seaside for a day out - we go to race circuits

Sorry, Carrie, I can't make Silverstone now. Way, way, way too much going on at work. I'll have to work late Wednesday to catch up on alot of work that won't get done on Tuesday. It's not the most desirable situation at the moment with so much going on with office moves, system upgrades, limited headcount, holidays and sickness... (yawn!).

Will definitely organise another one when I am sure that I can get the day off.

***Chris Y*** · 16 Feb 2001, 00:01 (Ref:64984)

Well, if it's passenger rides you're looking for - I may be able to swing some at Mallory on the 1st of March if anyone can make it down?

1st of March is a tuesday, and it's the MGOC official test-day, but it's also a track day, so passengers should be allowed, and you don't need a racing licence to drive on the track

Depending on whether I can get a trailer or 2, and if I can get it fixed up on time, I may also bring my MG Maestro 1600 for a little track time

Lorna · 16 Feb 2001, 22:00 (Ref:65131)

Aw shucks! No way I can get that day off. That's the first day of the new software going live. (And we've got to log calls on it! Help!). I am more than gutted now Chris

plomax · 16 Feb 2001, 23:46 (Ref:65156)

Rickster!!!
"I am not known for my patience??????????? Did I push anyone off at the Charity day? I think not."

I think you'd make a good politician, *technically* no you did not "push anyone off". However, I'm still paying the therapy bills for the three traumatised members of my family who had rides with you a Snett! Two of whom hold racing licences themselves! ;-) (don't worry buddy just kidding!!)

Funny thing was that both of us tried to frighten the other and screwed it up big time! ...well that's show offs for you!

... BTW nice one Chris! Look forward to seeing you on track at Donny.
If ever you get a chance, ask Rick about our testing day at Mallory a couple of years ago in our 5 Turbos when we had great fun "frightening the locals"!
Seriously though Chris the best thing you can be doing is to get out on the track and just keep going round and round and round. If you think how many laps you get in on a testing day vs. the laps you do in a race day and the costs for both, you'll quickly see that within a few test days you can get in a season's racing!

Looking forward to being back in the belts and out on the black stuff again. Also looking forward to seeing y'all again!

cheers
Paul

Lorna · 17 Feb 2001, 13:45 (Ref:65230)

I can honestly say that Paul was very well behaved when he took me round the track.

(you could try scaring me next time and try and prove to people that I don't have nerves of steel when on the 'black stuff'

)

See ya Tuesday, Paul.

Les · 17 Feb 2001, 20:53 (Ref:65276)

I keep thinking 'I wish I was going' then I think of the weather, the 5 hours of travelling and realise that waiting until Snetterton would be a whole load more sensible.

Have fun.....

Lorna · 18 Feb 2001, 20:26 (Ref:65428)

As long as my bacon sarnie is ready by 5pm Les

Don't worry - There will be photos flying around and tales to tell afterwards. We will make you think you were there

THR · 18 Feb 2001, 20:41 (Ref:65431)

tell me if im wrong
but hasnt the 31st jan been and gone?

cant u start a new thread!?!

Les · 18 Feb 2001, 21:29 (Ref:65442)

Dear THR,
I think the same. Everytime this thread comes up I think mallory?? Jan 31st?? what the .....

Then I twig it really means Donny Feb 20th.

At this rate this topic will still be going in December.

Have fun on Tuesday one and all - and what's this about bacon sarnies Lorn??? You come down for Snett testing and there will be sarnies galour but at 7pm not 5pm!!

WoodyTJ · 19 Feb 2001, 23:34 (Ref:65639)

Lorna replying on Woody's ID. Snetterton testing? Bacon sarnies? What date was that?

Sparky · 20 Feb 2001, 20:35 (Ref:65760)

OK. For those of you without a time machine, the Donington Test session can be continued here!

Craig, Tim, Les, THR... all those who couldn't make it - You were missed.

(But we still had a great day!

)

Carrie · 24 Feb 2001, 21:09 (Ref:66512)

This photo was one of the first I took at Donington on Tuesday. As I'd already seen Rick sat in the garage in the V6, I'd assumed that I was photographing Paul out on the track. Now I've got the photos back and that looks like someone wearing a white helmet in the car. Who's driving?

Carrie · 24 Feb 2001, 21:12 (Ref:66515)

Also, do we know yet who was driving the red Clio or the March?

cool_runnings8 · 25 Feb 2001, 10:18 (Ref:66557)

Carrie, the red Clio was from the Mardi Gras garage. Think it was Stuart Clarke? Nice piccy of the Clio

RickP:Clio51 · 25 Feb 2001, 12:18 (Ref:66568)

The red clio was Mardi Gras' car. THeir new driver was onboard, it was not Clarky doing those times!
Good spot on the bloke with the white helmet... he is a potential Fish driver for 2001 and will remain nameless for now...
Rick

redshoes · 25 Feb 2001, 13:13 (Ref:66582)

Ex-Fiesta driver by any chance ?
