Just back from a spot on day at Elvington for TOTB3.
Was brilliant to see so many quality cars on track. These guys know the crack when it comes to squeezing every last drop of power out the motors safely.

Andy F was on good form with his new toy and was amazing round the handling track but unfortunately he was just beaten. Might have been due to the weather conditions(Scorcher) in the last part of the day. But when you saw the guys he was up against he was really the winner as the other three guys he was up against looked like they had spent a shed load on the cars, but only just had a small edge.Says a lot for Andy's ability to tune a car in a short space of time. The others had been developing the cars forn a good while.
I'm sure there is more to come from the blue rocket in the next wee while.

Apart from the action today we had a crackin' night on Saturday. The Dougster was exellent crack after a few wines and stellas and kept us all entertained till the small hours........much to the disgust of the other (non TOTB) campers.
Was good to meet some of the southern Scoobyneters or is it nutters???Kept me an the missus entertained with events such as tent flatening, Anti lag cossies at dark o' clock, the art of draging a man round a campsite in his tent then striping him, drifting past inocent campers in the morning and many more.Most of which is remembered with the numbing effects of the demon drink

Anyway, off to bed to catch up on some shut eye soon.

Catch ya's later

P.s Thanks for the axe wound to my forehead Dougster,the pain is easing.....if you remember what I'm talkin about

jamie

 

evo's rule once again but the evo boys were impressed with a p1 at handling was it u kev

 

As far as I remember he was the only P1 unless they thought Andys was a P!????

 

sorry off topic

Moses do you know whos evo went pop pop bang today at k/h ??

Black 6??? with F*K IT on the back ??

 

Sound like he did as it said

 

no mate but a few of my mates have black evo's including craig i doubt he goes to kh though he aint into track

and yes i was told it was a fast p1 maybe it was andy, they said the guy was awesome at the handling

 

Yep....that MUST have been Andy. What a strugle it looked to put the power down on that car.

Wicked

 

any video footage ?

 

Nope...cant afford those luxurys. Even had to sleep in a tent this weekend.

 

Andys car is a V5 type R, not P1.

Was a crackin day...some awesome cars. Met a few new faces.
Funniest moment of the day had to be the CRD Scooby goin through the fence after the handling course.... Doh !!!!!

 

Funny but lucky. Could have just as easily bounced off the fence into the spectators I suppose. That could have been messy at the kind of speed he was doing !! Erse !!

Great day though, and my red scalp can verify that the sun was stronger than it felt !! Looking forward to next year, and am getting tempted to put a wee bit of money into the Skyline before the next one

Thanks for the company Steve and Johnny. Hope it didn't cost you too much more than the Tdi would have !?!

Dave

 

Course not...and the wee play on the way home was great fun..(except the curse of Sg72) Will explain later Steve.

 

That was fun. I think a few of the inside lane cars got a bit of a fright there !!! Quite possibly a few scorched bumpers as we scooted past them too
Will be checking out the price of AP's for the Skyline this week though !!

 

Yep Jamie, t'was fantastic!!

Can't remember much from the Saturday night but I do remember the next morning when your misus ran at me with the baddest water gun I ever saw!

Thooper time was had by all I think!!

 

Dont worry Chocalate, we remember it all.Got mental pics in out heads.
So have the campsite owners

Jamie

 

IS that what happened to crd@s scoob then, i missed that. I saw it later with the side all dented and couldn't think what he could have hit. I s'pose to people who don't really know scoobs andy's car could easily look like a P1 easpecially with the anthracite wheels

 

by the way it was andy the evo boys thought it was a p1

and they said he was an awesome driver
nice one andy and lol just checked your quarter mile time wtf 10.73 MAN HOW how much power and was that on a standard gearbox mighty impressive

 

he's the man moses !!!

ps am trying fir a discount

 

Johnny! What curse? Don't tell me you've sold your car to someone, who's gonna kick *** at TOTB IV .

Had a Great day out BTW.

 

lol mate whit discount

he tuning your car or something

 

 

Remember the hose you pointed to before we left yours ?? Guess what popped off on the way home !!??!!



Oops !

 

Doh!
Better not point to any other parts on Johnnies car then.

Curse indeed!
Sounds like you's had an interesting drive home

Cheers Dave.

 

Yep, drive home was lotsa fun...

Dave..any ideas who the blue scoobie was that we passed ? Think he got a fright.

Steve, at least your curse was a small one matey.. Luckily me screwdriver was handy, so got it back on ok.

 

No idea who that was J. Put a 'was it you' up but haven't had a reply. He caught me up by the time I passed Gladsmuir, as I slowed a bit to let things cool down . Followed me up till I got to the bypass turning, and he kept going straight into Edin. !! Didn't recognise the car at all

 

Ah well..

Oh..i've just found out i work with a friend of yours.... Martin McQueen (helps you at Hillend)

 

Cool !! He helps with the disabled ski club on Monday nights at Hillend - That's the ski club who are always looking for new volunteers (blatent plug !!!! ).

Just downloaded all my pics from sunday...i take the crappiest pics ever !!!

 

Most of the antics were by the cossie owners and nothing new. Happens most times when we camp, tbh they were far better behaved than usual
