06/09/2008 20:49:24 Martin C Well what a soggy day! The famous MGs-on-track weather God finally deserted us yesterday :eek: , but I don't think that was such a bad thing on this particular day. You all quickly learnt the limits of your car or your abilities and it was fun to watch your confidences grow, along with the speed as you all took on Andy's expert advice. The photo's from the day have been uploaded and will be available for all to see once approved by a committee member. They are not some of the best images I've ever taken for two reasons really, one the obvious liquid sunshine. The other was my desire to try and put more "action" into my shots, so I was experimenting with camera settings. Admitedly I could have chosen a better day, but like you I learnt some valuable lessons;) . You should be able to see what I mean by the photos that are crystal clear and look like posed Dinky toys, perfect crisp wheels etc. As usual if anybody wants any copies then PM me with the reference from under the picture and your e-mail address and I'll get high resolution copies sent back. Just don't expect next day service :D Cheers, Martin

06/09/2008 22:27:29 Tim Guy Well done Martin :) Always enjoy looking at your photos.

Actually, it's your only bet - until 2009 - as everything else is booked up - unless you fancy diving straight in and picking up one of the two places that have come free at Castle Combe on Monday (last minute cancellations). Regards, Dave

06/09/2008 23:22:22 Dave [quote=Baracus].... but i still love the tight twisty ciruit :rolleyes:[/quote]That's Brands Hatch Indy alright :D

07/09/2008 08:34:59 Baracus [quote=Dave]That's Brands Hatch Indy alright :D[/quote] still not as tight and twisty as nw though right? I think the closest one for me is prob Oulton Park though? i know it's sold out though

I think the closest one for me is prob Oulton Park though? i know it's sold out though[/quote]I can put you on the reserve list if you like. There are always some cancellations due to work commitments or car problems as we get nearer the event.

07/09/2008 09:18:28 Dave [quote=Baracus]hmmm, go on then why not :rolleyes: :) now i'm nervous :confused: :eek:[/quote]LOL - no problem - if you are lucky enough to get a place you'll have a whale of a time. With two NW events under your belt it will be a doddle. Most of us dive in the deep end :D I've added you to the reserve list and will be in touch if there's any news. It could be some time, so don't be surprised if an email suddenly pops in your inbox a week or so before the day. Dave

Dave[/quote] yeah i've seen how close cancellations can be :) i just don't wanna make a **** of myself, nor do i fancy running my car through a gravel trap lol. :eek: Cheers for adding my name anyway ;)

[I]"Afterthought"[/I] Having just watched a superb Belgium GP I wonder did Lewis ever do one of Andy's days :confused: BUT THE FINAL RESULT IS SO WRONG, ESPECIALLY AS KIMI DIDN'T FINISH :mad:

Just turn up if you can :D Dave

[/quote] lol, exactly what i saw too :) [quote] [I]"Afterthought"[/I] Having just watched a superb Belgium GP I wonder did Lewis ever do one of Andy's days :confused: BUT THE FINAL RESULT IS SO WRONG, ESPECIALLY AS KIMI DIDN'T FINISH :mad:[/quote] what a race, fantastic ending :) i can't beleive the penalty though, what a croc of ...., when things like this happen i just hope they go out now and blitz them all over and win the championship. It really gets my back up how 1 sided it always seems to be this season. I think they could all benefit from 1 of Andy's days though lmao :D , i bet it's a bit of a bugger with slicks in the rain though and all that HP lol. Well done Lewis though, really came into his own when it got damp :), i reckon he must have watched Andy's DVD maybe :) (which reminds me, i wouldnt mind a copy of that sometime i think, didn't even know he had 1 until i was on my way home and Darren (my mate i was with ) told me)
