northwest drive out 16

Oulton Park on the 28th - to view only.

 

Richard,

Is that an FOC day at Oulton Park ?

I am not a member but would like to go along and meet some fellow fchatters.

I am not sure if its an open invite.

I would also only be there to view.

Had enough playing with yourself ? ....fancy Oulton on the 28th ?.....i may just fly in and beg a lift from Manchester or L'pool airport.....put me down for a ticket please rick......simon, remember i owe you £16
cheers, d

 

What's happened to messrs saul and scholes.....ed and mr wilcox ????

 

messrs scholes is here.......28th is good for me.

 

and mr holland, and justin from sunny lincolnshire ??

 

Yup... name the day and I`ll be there matey! Haven`t heard from Ed in a while though. Justin... you playing?

 

Rick originally suggested the track day at oulton park on wednesday 28th of July, just to have a drive out, and suss things out......rick seems to be, quite rightly, busy with the new baby, so i don't mind trying to gell a few things together......Four of us felt it would be useful to have a ride along and just have a look, see what's going on etc, before maybe having a go, next time.......not sure if it is an FOC event or not - can anybody confirm ?
cheers, d

 

......and steve328GTS.

 

was gonna fly, but if there's a good turn out, we shall sail on the tuesday

 

COUNT ME IN.
I believe stratstone will be attending with a few cars,so i would like to talk to them about a 360 or even a 430(according to EVO)

Been busy recently ......

It is a FOC day but I'm sure you'll be allowed to turn up and spectate. I'll leave it in Dave's capable hands to organise - just count me in.

PS Simon's in Italy doing the Ferrari and Lambo tours but his car should be ready for the 28th too.

 

Well am back from the land of the pasta eaters. Had a good time actually, stayed at a hotel in Maranello, 5 mins walk from the factory. Not the best of towns Maranello though, nothing there apart from the factory,its just a big industrial estate. If anybody is planning a trip I learnt a lot of where not to stay and eat etc so let me know if you are. Did'nt have a tour arranged at Ferrari but sis speaks Italian and she managed to blag 2 extra additions with a tour party from Japan so tagged along with them. Quite mechanised inside the factory,was a lot of areas we could'nt go.Saw 2 Enzos out on the surrounding roads,could'nt even tell the colour cos they were completley covered in black tape. Lambo factory was great too, had a personal tour with an English PR girl.She took us everywhere on the shop floor,introducing me to the guys that build the gearboxs, roadtest the Murcialago etc. I'm not just saying this but there was a lot more components handbuilt there,but that may not be a good thing,but it seemed a lot more relaxed. The press were there in force including a couple of journalists from UK mags all being shown the new Murcie roadster etc.
Anyway, 28th is fine,picking 355 up from the painters tommorrow.See ya all there.

 

I am still here! Apparently I have been a little busy! The car is still in one piece although needs a re-spray at the front, and a new driving light. A collision with a wading bird in Morrocco! I have just moved house, got engaged, started a new business and bought a cat! The bad news is that the F355 may be on the way out. I am intending to order a CS. So that will cushion the blow somewhat. I have to keep the ladyfriend happy! I have told her that I am going to sell the 355 and buy another Lotus. She won't find out about the CS till it arrives! Hurrah for trusting women! Little do they know!

Guys,

Sorry to intrude.....But I'm moving to Leeds sometime soon and wondered if I might tag along to get the lay of the land, I know some of the area but not a great deal ?

I'll check if I'm on shift today and let you know if I can get there, If it's OK with you lot ?

Guys,

I will be there on the 28th at Oulton Park as a spectator not on the track.

I was there a couple of years ago when trying to get to know the cars before buying one.


How will I be able to spot you, or are you meeting locally somewhere else or is it straight there.
