anyone fancy a meet at either york or santapod on a "run what ya brung" day to find out who has the quickest Octavia....

bound to be an RS...:flame:

seriously though it would give us newbies an idea of what to aim for!

I definately fancy a run - when my car is definately back on form!

Wherever's closest I guess!

elvington/york for us....

think you can take me then ???

:cheers:

Aerodynamics of a brick and never done a 1\4 mile.....

Hell yeah

(if it's wet )

(and bumpy...)

(and you are carrying cement...)

(and maybe a roofbox...)

(and a caravan )

now the caravan ...i've seenthat somewhere before...

im sure you will give me a run for my money...

but it will be lonely if we are the only 2?

surely rob fancies a run in the 1.6?

or maybe Jon in the famouse 1.4?

Nah, mine's been there done that. Not really my thing, no twisty bits

guess i will have to find out if im faster at brunters for they 30th bday.....

I'm potentially interested, depending on date a bit (and permission by the CEO ).

Q.

Oh, and the pod would be closest for me

The pod is further for me.. but if enough want to go will make the trip.. not sure what dates are on ... tends to be every 2-3 weeks

Hmm...could be fun even just to watch. Not sure about the 1.6 though, I wouldn't

want to show anyone up...

Especially not myself...

dont be daft its all good fun...

I'd be up for a meet at the Pod - but not till after July 16th

I think I'll just try and see what I get out of the car at Bruntingthorpe, if that's still going ahead...? I'd be well interested to do a GPS test of the speedo accuracy, and therefore also real 0-60 times too. Ooh, and, whilst its legal, the true top speed too..

Just remember not to bugger around with your headlights before you attempt a run

I'd be interested in it too, although too far away for me to make the effort to be honest!

why do headlights affect your standnig quarter?

Cos they affect the gearing somehow... Must be a Skoda thing

If they're a particularly good set of headlights that they distract you?

Seriously, think it's another reference to Jason's inability to place the rubber cover

on the back of his headlights properly, resulting in it falling off and...well,

full story's in "It's a Classic" thread in the lounge...

now i get it...

You haven't heard about my little headlight / gearbox incident yet? Most have...

edit: perhaps I should have kept my great flapping gob shut about this one?

Are you glad you told us all about your little mishap yet, Jason?

I could always join you and set you a bench mark to try and get close too.....

My personal best is a 13.43sec qtr, and i will be aiming to go quicker @ ultimate street car!!

Infact, theres an idea, what about a briskoda invasion of USC next month??? :drive:

If Bruntingthorpe is on, when is it? Have I missed a thread?

Nick

I think the discussion about this kind of appeared, hung around like a bad smell, then slowly fizzled out. I think some people were talking about the September meet happening at Bruntingthorpe, but as July's only ended up being a test-run, and after tracing the route of the Welsh run, I think that Oulton is the venue instead.

Perhaps one of the mods / planners would comfirm as such?

Cheers

but oulton has no drag strip?
