The planets have aligned and I can finally make it to a drive day! However, as luck would have it, the mk1.5 isn't running as good as it should so fingers crossed I'll get it going properly by then.

That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing that car. Hope you get it sorted fairly easily.

I've got my new brakes on and have sorted the power issue so there's no more 'fingers crossed' about it. I'll be there! I'm really looking forward to this.

Have just noticed Bill has got his mobile number wrong !!

It should be 078 127 387 64 (as he has it in grey writing at the bottom of his postings)

Don't want anybody getting lost and then trying Bill on the wrong number !

As above really, an excellent day out. Rich, my passenger, took plenty of photos and videos so I'll edit the bunch and get some stuff up later tonight.
Many thanks to Bill for sorting yet another cracking day out and for providing some serious fun on that last thrash. It was very nice to meet some new people and we had some lovely motors out today.

Cheers all,

Ha! Yep, it's got a the rev2 turbo lump in it which is very handy on those roads. But even with the extra power, it took a fair bit of effort to keep up with Bill!

Scott Forster
20th April 2015, 08:54 AM
I was there or there abouts! Bill is pretty handy behind the wheel.

I think a brake upgrade is on the cards, which I noticed you mentioned something about Celica pots in one of your threads.

The going is not the problem, its the stopping!

chief44
20th April 2015, 09:19 AM
Yes indeed, you did well keeping up.
It was my first proper drive using my new st165 brakes and I'm glad I finally got round to doing it. It's a fairly simple swap and they provide decent stopping power.

Thanks to all that turn out for the run, also thanks to all of you for being patient, As I get quiet bossy to keep things running.
It was good of Gary to arrange a police escort for when he was in front, Nice one also it was lovely to see Cathy on the run, Lets see some more partner joining us.
It was a smashing day out but I was knackered and in bed for 9.00.
Hears to the Peak run, See you all soon,

Yes. I have a bluetooth stereo in my car so it doesn't get cluttered with tapes or cds. I was playing music all day from my phone, but my phone can't play music and record video at the same time. I'm glad though as I like to hear the engine noise in the video even more than the Thin Lizzy that was playing before and after!
