Yeah defo let you know mate on the next meet probs big bang end of month.
The QTR mile thing was last minute with Gibby I did three runs the queing was going down till Gibby hit some mid pipe on the track, then we waited for about half an hour till it was cleared so some of the Rallye lads came out and started checking each other rides good guys we counted six Rallye's in a line up for a rag towards the end.  :cool:


WHO is Jamie who gave us the windows stickers?
I wanted to chat more to the fella, but he caught us on the way home.
Thanks Jamie for the stickers mate top quality!

Post by: tobz. on 17 April 2007, 10:20
Yep was a great day, opposite end of the spectrum to last year when we left early coz we were cold, windswept and getting rained on!!!
Can't believe I missed so many people, saw the usual crowd but missed Slimmed, Gaz and Han!!!
Oh and Gibby for some reason the video of your 1/4 was missing from Andys phone last night when we downloaded them onto my pc, gutted!!!

If it was one of my 16 or 17 :shocked: second missing 2nd gear runs then I'm glad ! :laugh: Seriously though, it would have been cool to see one, gutted really. :cry:
Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: tobz. on 17 April 2007, 10:30
It was one of the......ahem.......2nd gear runs  :wink:
Even so I was annoyed he had c0cked it up somehow as I know I'd love the vid regardless if it was me.
A couple of the other guys with me were using video phones, you never know there might be one yet.

Did get to see one of your good runs aswell, was it a 14.7 or something???
Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: gibby on 17 April 2007, 10:35
It's *ahem that mk2 synchro mesh 2nd gear common *ahem problem ! :laugh:

I wish I got a 14.7 Tobz, best three were 15.77, 15.79 & 15.83. I was hoping for a 15.5, but I reckon there's a low 15 in there somewhere.
Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: tobz. on 17 April 2007, 10:41
Ah the old 2nd gear synchro, yeah I had a bit of a moment with mine on my previous oakie at inters one year.
It was the 15.7 I had remembered then, don't think the heat was helping at the end of the afternoon. My mate in his VR6 managed a 15.4 in the morning but it was consistently 15.7 by about 4pm.

Post by: topher on 17 April 2007, 10:44
told you grabbing 2nd gear fast was a c*nt in rallyes ! :grin: (remember brunters?)

That's ok then, I thought it was me just being a tw*t ! :laugh: Sometimes I got it ok, but other times I think I was trying to change it too quickly and missed it all together. :rolleyes:

Tobz, my best time was done in the morning too.
Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: topher on 17 April 2007, 10:51

Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: gibby on 17 April 2007, 11:57
Toph, I believe that on one of my runs, Tobz was sat in the stand and could see me shaking my head as I missed 2nd gear ! Again ! :laugh:
Title: Re: back from gti spring fest.....
Post by: tobz. on 17 April 2007, 12:01

Hmmmm, you try, but not very hard to be fair.

That old adage - winning not important its the taking part that counts.

So by trying I am just taking part, which is better than being totally ignorant.
