speaking to guys at spa today !

seems mr gung-ho-too-slow ! has been a naughty boy !

has been ram raiding spa instructors and has been unable to catch an old m3 without spinning ! Gordon - i think you need the lead weight again, could be the near side rear shock needing compensation for weight distribution ? [:)] (although i do expect some behaviour like this at oulton !)

gordon promises the REAL story next Tue !

so thats free booze from Mr Barnard and Tall stories from Gung Ho [;)][;)][;)] not to be missed !


see you all soon !

scottie.
 
Should be a good night then...... on the news tonight Superfast ferries are pulling out of Rosyth in September ,so looks like a drive to Hull from now on unless another operator is found
 
Like I've said before priced themselves way too high for weekend tourist market I can save £450 by using the Hull ferry for this summers holiday!

So spiil the beans someone what happened to Gordon?
 
Nothing new then. Causing problems due to worn shocks. Deja vu!

Might come along to hear the excuses!
 
Yes, might come too. I guess my suggested major surgery on Gordon's right foot did not work [:D][:D][:D]

  ... back to pits  to adj anti roll bar  nearly full hard .. car was much better ...  which led to me  being chased by a CUP car  for 3 laps  and at one point was accused of  flashing my lights at a very SLOW   Exige   to avoid a collision  at a fast corner

Gordon glad to hear that you mis-behaved again [;)]

Are you serious with your roll bar settings? How is your front roll bar? Car should be lively, especially at the bottom of Eau-Rouge... I found it much faster there with a medium setting at the back.

PS: As discussed, your voucher for a free day of tuition is still available [:D][:D][:D]
 
Phil never adj fronts ...as it was dry /wet/ dry but would have liked to try full hard front/rear as Spa is so smooth ... but then at the Ring the car was fantastic even with same setting from Spa ... going to K/Hill on tues eve (private invite) so should be able to compare to Old shocks & set up .... will see G ps maybe go back to SPA in Oct any dates for your guys track events around then ????
 
Why will it put you off coming?

I know you don't like being passed........

but if you do spin off you can expect some abuse!

Yes we are going. Dijon on the 15th which would be nice too.
