I dont know Oxford but if I could pick you up somewhere along the main road through (A34??) like a sevices or garage then that'd be do-able.
I go M5 onto M4 east bound. get off M4 @ J13 IIRC (Oxford) & head North on A34 & then M11 is it for 1 junction & the A43 into Northampton.
Thats all from memory so I reserve the right to rename major roads & junctions for my own pleasure.
I maybe there, not with the Nova though.

Im hoping for a lift myself. However if that fails. It may be worth my while taking lifts and still going. Could you get to mine in the morning or are you totaly without transport?
I also noticed someone on MIG wanting a lift from Bristol as well.
im tryijng to blag a lift aswell
kronk10 off here sounds my best bet as he's only in derby lol

I've got transport in the form of a Nova TD that badly needs a service.
Its Coolamasta that needs a lift from MIG.
Just leave a reply here & PM me a mobile phone no if you are interested & I'll get in touch. Would be sound if its a goer.
Thanks

i will be down both days:) 24\25th :) hehe gotta take me nova on the 1\4 mile :) its about 3hrs from me hehe but i dont mind driving
we're going the 21st tho ???

19-01-07, 04:08 PM
LOL yeah.
I dont mind driving 9 hours, its just my main car isnt on the road & the TD really does need a service as I havent got a foggiest who did it last.
If I felt better about the TD then I'd be there like a shot & offer a lift to anyone that wants one. I'll still contemplate it worse comes to worst.

EDIT: If you noticed a small bloke who looked like a Ninja (You could just see the eyes) that was mehttp://msn.mess.be/data/thumbnails/41/a_ninja_smiley.jpg
I feel the cold!!
ANDYRACER
21-01-07, 07:32 PM
Ahh i did see you then Dar lol
And i couldnt get any power down at all, it just spun on the line. Was so slippy. And this was in a flipping diesel aswell so god knows how the quick cars were doing! :mad:
well most of the 4x4 boys were just going sideways which was fun to watch but not very good for times - really hope i can get mine done next week and set some times
Yup it was very slippy out there. Not the best time to try of a PB :D
Although my mates cars both around 300bhp had tramping problems. This is not hobos trying to camp in the boot for those who are thinking along those lines.
It looked slippy once you broke traction, but that glue seemed to grip well once you got it back again. So the surface looked like it either gripped or didn't. Not that variable like on normal tarmac. Mind you that glue stuff smells like sweeties, yum!

To be fair to the old girl, it killed the fiesta xr2 1800 off the lights :Dlol
kronk10 got a PB best tho - 16.54 with full road trim (1.4 with t40s)
well done john - and thanks for the lift
Fair play Kronk10!! Get up there in the summer and you should beat that again. Must have launched it well..not easy in todays conditions.
yeah he did, he ran a few high 17s then pulled that out the bag
just read another thread and was you with the red wide-arched fiesta and blue scooby dar ???
kronk10
21-01-07, 08:03 PM
Thanks guys i dont jnow how i managed to pull that time it just happened either luck or practise. Dont thank me draper it was a pleasure i would have been bored stiff otherwise, everyone was nice and freindly and always with a smile on their face even when things werent going to welllol And i thought the track was better than it was last year in october it was dreadfull then. looking forward to go to anouther one:thumb:

They were the boys I was with. I was passenger in the Fiesta. We have to have a look at it some time soon to see whats wrong with the rear. Fast little thing. Although neither cars ran anywhere near what they should have. It was their first time and I think their last. Both enjoyed the journey home more:wtf:
Both enjoyed the journey home more:wtf:
never good when someone says that about a day out is it ?? its only an hour from us so if its crap we can go home easily enough lol

Cold i agree, i ended up running a 16.4 myself so i cant wait to get the omex fitted next month. good to see some of you.
Yeah, and when i launched an almighty bang came from the passenger side hub, i thought id done a CV or something.. coasted in 2nd, and then booted it in third. Got a 16.5 ish, and Mark Watts thought it was hilarious and suddenly im a legend who cant drive 1/4 miles LMAO
My PB is 14.3 in th blue car and that was without a diff on cold tyres = wheelspin halfd way through 3rd gear, so not all bad. Might take the green one up next summer and try to clear my name lol
Anyway, i did see a white SR that sounded like it was on carbs pootling through the pits, other than that, spent most of the day in the van getting warm lol
kronk10
21-01-07, 09:37 PM
i cant wait till you get the management sorted out it will be very fast once sorted.
And bt you were nice and warm while most of us were freezing ''how vary dare you'' and i wasnt pootling i was dootlinglol
Green16v
21-01-07, 09:49 PM
