FIRST TEAM LEXUS MEET

UltraViolet · December 16, 2001

Oh no - I am charged with keeping you lot under control??? I can hardly keep myself under control when it comes to cars! The Lexus will be only the 2nd car I have owned that is RWD too (last being a Mk2 Escort! Although I have thrashed a few others not belonging to me)

Anyway - www.honda-r.org.uk to see the club site. www.honda-r.org.uk/html/sammy.htm to see me and my babes ! Obviously I will be keeping this car as well as having the Lexus - both very different beasts and both lovely in different ways.

As for track days - I would not go on a 'open' track day - but if you want to really drive your car hard, the road isn't the place - get on an airfield where there is nothing to hit, and go on one with a company that like to promote safety first. We use Bookatrack (www.bookatrack.co.uk) and since we all know each other - everyone respects everybody else. Plus if anyone takes any chances and risks someone else's car - they get a strong few words from me...... if someone has to be black flagged, and they don't amend their behaviour - they are asked to leave and don't come again! Only way - you don't want to take chances with your pride and joy!!!

hello mum:saint::saint:

well if you want high speed road jinks come to Germany..........:wow:

UltraViolet · December 16, 2001

Mum!! Mum!!! I shall slap your legs!!!!

I was just trying to say that track days can be safe - and a lot more fun than sprints! So why deny yourself, you have to do it at least once....

Steve · December 16, 2001

thanks for the link Sammy to the bookatrack.com

I have paced the link on our links pages so people can what it's all about!

I will post your site in the links pages too right now! :saint:

UltraViolet · December 16, 2001

Roll on January!!!

Monster-Mat · December 16, 2001

yep,i did a lot of track days with my Rover,plus i do racing aswell(did i say i had my cat B national license)

just that the Volk wheels are one of the last sets ever made in white,and to bring the normal rims aswell,would be a pain,cos i will be travelling from Germany

Hmmmmmmmmmm??????????????

UltraViolet · December 18, 2001

Heehee - my other car has only two seats - and snug fitting Recaros at that - so anyone of more portly dimensions, doesn't fit!:smilegrin:

Steve · December 18, 2001

Sammy.. do you know of a good track for me to look into?

Monster-Mat · December 18, 2001

ok.....................im having a mare,i need a location in the midlands to do a meet(we are not doing a track day for the first meet)

an idea i have had is cruise to weymouth then go over to jersey,

or Alton towers,or just a good location to meet,cruise have a meal,beer ,party

please help me!

UltraViolet · December 19, 2001

What are you after?

If a cheap airfield - Crail can be hired at £35 a driver (min of 10) or £40 each if you want to hire a certain instructor we have used there (if he is available)

Donington is very good - but not cheap (no 'real' track is)

Anglesea is apparently very good - not done it myself, but will do next year.

Binbrook is near Scunthorpe so is more accesable for those coming from the Ferry at Hull - but when I went to discuss a possible event - the track was a bit rough - needed a good sweep.

Not sure about one for a meet only though. I would suggest you drop a mail to some of the Leisure Parks, point out that we are not some Max Power Muppets intending to do donuts etc - and ask if we can use the bottom end of their parking area for a meet and of course we can then all go use the facilities - 10 pin bowling followed by Pizza sounds good to me!

Perhaps try the Meridian Leisure Park (directions can be found on my website under the 2nd December meet) - ensure the letter comes accross as professional and civilised - they had problems earlier this year with a Corsa meet doing sound offs and driving at speed in the car park!

Steve · December 19, 2001

that sounds good... They should have known that anyone witha corsa would act like that.

I think they will find Lexus more respectable.

blackmagic · December 26, 2001

I am not coming to any meets till i've been supercharged coz u lot will just thrash me!:D

Thanks to mat for the links though! Should be getting it done as soon as i rob the bank..my car needs a rear spoiler..anyone have any suggestions or contacts?
