Quote from peterules :

lol Maybe this one you might like better....

HAHAHAH! I saw krslim take that photo, just before you pulled away from me!

Quote from peterules :

The old guy is Jasons dad macker. I've tagged the 4 people in our team for the day.

Damn you! lol

Quote from Bob Smith :

..and the mechanics for the wonderful positioning of the fuel tank and the elbow bruises so many of us have as mementos.

Haha, yours was really bad! Luckly, I only had a small red mark..

The only pic you put up, and I've got my eyes closed.. lol

Quote from peterules :

hehe! How many times did we pass you on the way back? :P

Way too many times. When you pulled up next to me the second time, I thought..WTF?! How did he do that? Did you stop again or something? Lol

Just got home safely. What a great day! Have to say a big thank you to Jason for organising this event. Nice to meet a lot of you too!

Quote from peterules :

Coming from Docklands so probably at the start, i think it's near Heathrow.. Got Me, Krs and the Mrs coming so gonna set off at 6ish. Probably end up running late though.

Ah rite ok. I mite, just end up meeting you on the M4...I'll keep my eyes open

Quote from peterules :

Don't worry mate we're driving up saturday morning now too. Some change of plans means that i'm now taking the Micra lol so look out for plate ending with BDE then you will be either close or we are both lost. Might see you on the M4 too.

lol, ok mate. What time you leavin? and, What junction you gettin on at?

I'm driving up there on the saturday morning. What happeneds, when I get there. Do we meet outside, or are people waiting on track. I know no one by face, so Im gonna look lost constantly! lol..

Quote from franky500 :

there are requirements for anybody who does join in with me and bob..

1.) MUST be ugly.. anybody who looks better than Ben is a NO GO! (this is to ensure its fair for all 3 of us)

2.) MUST be slow.. If you are faster than me or ben, you WILL be stolen by another team due to your shear awesomeness.

3.) MUST be able to take it in ..... wait no.. .cancel that one

Lol, Can I join? Dean. Arnt you coming from somewhere near me? (Junction 6 M4)

I'm a little scared about this now lol. Ive never been proper karting in my life, and after just reading the schedule, I'm worried if I mess up, I'm gonna ruin the entire race...Am I just being paranoid...? Please tell me I'm not alone..lol.

Quote from Victor :

come again? Toll charge?

Yea, I have to pay to drive into wales, Cause theres a massive bridge I gotta cross on the M4..

Quote from boothy :

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=toll+charge+m4+wales :smash3d:

Haha! Thanks for that dude. So its £4.80 into wales, and free to come back. Sweet!

Anyone else driving on the M4 on the saturday morning that wants to convoy up there?

Anyone know how much the toll charge is on the M4 to cross to wales?

I have a new car

I'm really looking foward to this now. This weekend! This will be the first time Ive ever been propley go karting in my life haha!

I think its a good idea krammeh. Would save people a lot of hassle, and would check that the InSim relay is always connected.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Idk why. Like 8v engines produce more torque than 16v engines..idk why

SCREW YOU SEAN.

Marginly more at really low revs..so little infact its hardly worth bothing with. I like my little 8v..cant say ive ever really been a fan of the 16v vauxhall engine. 8v are really easy to maintain as a pose to the 16v...all different engines have there pros and cons tho...

A little thing I was told about the ECOTEC engines too...(Not that I believe it, just what I was told...)

Every
Component
Of
The
Engine's
Crap

Hehe!

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Huh? Why does it means it's more economical because it's got less valves?

I'm not sure it is tbh...I'm more for annoying Jamie at the moment LOL..having said that tho...the 1.6 16v is 99bhp and is an ECOTEC engine..mine is a 1.6 8v and isnt an ECOTEC engine, mine is only 82BHP...

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

You drive it funny! My Dad's 1.6 16valver MK4 with 112,000 on the clock would return 350+ to the tank normally.. you must THRASH it Sean.

Mine is different tho..mines an 8v...technically it should be more fuel economic but it isnt...

Sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but I have a question...

What do people think of the new Vauxhall Astra CDTi's? I currently have a 1.6 Astra mk4 and I seem to get on average about 280-300 miles to a tank, my brother on the other hand, who has a Astra mk5 SRi 1.7 CDTi (100). His car is faster then mine, while also being able to get double the milage to a tank..and has cheaper tax! The reason I ask peoples thoughts on them, as he is thinking bout selling it too me!

Quote from BreadC :

not something i brag about tho lol

LMAO....good point...

Quote from BreadC :

<--- id be coming from 6 :o if i came

Quote from BreadC :

Where abouts are you coming from then dude? I'm virtually the same route, Coming from slough (Junction 4 I belive) all the way to wales...
