Friday 15th North Manchester Meet

ah, but could you get the grip down in time to get up to max speed in the distance, that's the trick. Mind you, coming out of the second 90 degree right at about 100 (sometimes sideways by all accounts), don't suppose standing start grip has much to do with it

Next one will probably be April time - I'll let you know. Only thing is, as spaces are limited, Craig may give preference to regulars first, so get your name known on PH... Simon and Rick are already on. Testa and a Lambo would be a cool run.

They run just two cars at a time so there is plenty of room, but if someone was worried, single runs are no probs.

 

could get the grip down with no problems i would just leave it loaded

Yep, I'll be there for Vmax on the 31st.
Think this is the 6th one!

The record is 202 atm but there are 9 cars (i think) that are capable of the double ton including a 231mph ultima!

Should be very very interesting!

Are you heading down there in the 348 Al???

and I see a Murci has appeared on the Vmax list!!!

 

1 - Nope - going down with Rods in his 996TT

2 - yeah, s'funny that isn't it

Bags me a passenger ride please!

 

me first me first!!!

 

you'll have he pot boy following you's in the megane i guess, noony might peddle his bike after you's

 

It looks like I'm going to have to duck out of this one - got wife's family round Saturday night and then a very early start to get to V Max on Sunday morning.

Apologies.

Dave - will you be coming over again this year ?

Rick

 

I'll give next weekend a miss too - I'll be over regularly certainly, but not in gina ..... dry dock time (may buy her a noisy exhaust for xmas)

Stevef and i think a north xmas do will happen, if the north / south thingy doesn't get off the ground.

cheers for now ..... d

 

I'm certainlt still up for a Xmas do.

 

me too

 

.... but IF i come over next w/end, may i go to brunters on sunday as a specktater ?
kindest regards and best wishes to you all, david
ps .... is it at brunters ?

 

are we goin doon the toon as you return from maranello, or are you goin to make me sleep at judes' mothers', in shields ?

 

Dave - I think this years event is drivers and passengers only. (I believe in the past spectators were allowed too)

This is the event on Pistonheads :

"CraigW" has organised it - it might be worth e-mailing him to see if you're allowed as a spectator.

Let us know how you go on.

Rick

 

Pretty certain thats its drivers and passengers only.
I asked earlier about going to spectate and was told to find a driver!

 

i dont land till after ten and its half hour drive home, are you around all weekend?

 

yes .... given the history of judes' mother, would you be "around" ?

 

will be aroun sat/sun give me a call and we'll catch up mate

 

Rick - Any chance of getting Simon up early enough to come down with us lot? No route mentions but it's gonna be fun at that time in the morning


And unfortunately yes, that is the case - no spectators, just drivers and official passengers, hence why I am going down in Rob's Porsche. He has even threatened to throw the keys at me to have a go.... 530bhp of 4wd German missile :yikes:

 

I would have Al, but i'm driving back from Torquay on Sat so i'm going to be smashed, also means Rik getting up about 2.30am! Would have done had it been light, soz mate

 

No probs Simon - your exhaust would have probably alerted the Traffic plod three forces down the road anyway at that time of the morning

(or three forces back depending on velocity )

See you down there.

 

Any chance of getting to this if somebody drops out ????????

 

If you drop an email to craigw on pistonheads vmax section, he will be able to tell you more. But i think theres a waiting list all ready!

 

Steve - I've emailed Craig for you, waiting to hear back from him. Would be great to heard your motor at full throttle. What's its quoted top speed ?

Rick

 

dont ask him mate its all to do with power to weight and stevef aint light

 

weight doesn't affect top speed. I think its 195 or something?
