Bucketeer Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Looks like a nice mix. From a Saab 9-3 to a Scimitar SS1. And the Piazza of course. I'm really looking forward to this.The girlfriend's brother was banging on recently about his Moto GP marshaling but that's nothing, I get to Marshal a Blackburn bin compound.

KruJoe Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I hope you gave the SS1 man our business card! I'm sad not to have been able to make this. I expect my MX5 1.8 might be quite useful at it, though its clutch and driver might not.Even as a watcher, it looks like a laugh.

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was once asked not to take part in the second round of a JDC gymkhana/autotest , it was on grass at Billing Aquadrome and the genteel concours XKs and E-Types were carefully avoiding the canes and flags at little more than walking pace. There were only about 6 competitors and the commentator asked if any non- members in the crowd* thought they could do better...Enter cocky 26year old gobshite with a brand new 4.0 manual XJ6 ( that wasn't his) lots of flying turf and dirt, and a couple of flattened canes later there was a new leader. I did notice the spectators move back from the tape a bit, but then they also cheered at the donut round the final cane.The be-blazered, retired Colnel type came over and suggested it might be better that I quit whilst I was ahead( and everyone still alive)Don't worry Im much more sensible now and haven't got a suitable car anyway. Unless I win 83C's S430 on Wednesday... gm, eddyramrod and Dave_Q 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moog Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Results are in Njgleeds and Spartacus are in a class of their own ... Literally. Then the puma class. The other puma was highly modified which shows that Bucketeer has silky smooth driving skills KruJoe, Bucketeer, dollywobbler and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I really fancy a shot at this sort of thing. I just need a suitable vehicle. I have taken part in a similar event with the 2CV some years ago. I beat a Golf GTI! But, I really fancy having a go in something else. Something fairly small and agile. Like a Proton. Ah.

The Moog Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well we are entering the Sunday Autotest that is being held in Event City Manchester. It is part of FJ classic show. I think it is charity rides, so you are the driver and a random pays to be a passenger. Each car can be run by up to 4 drivers so you are more than welcome to come and use the puma. Also included in entry price is tickets for the show. Plus I think they said we will be sharing track with some Group B cars! Edit: cross post - what he said... Goes for anyone who fancies it.
