No, put us on post together and to hell with the consequences!

Shhhh careful - now if by some chance we do get posted together, you can guarantee at least one person in this thread will complain about special treatment.....

Anyway, I'll catch up with you at brekkie!!!

Hmmm, makes mental notes for sign on next weekend...

EvilPumpkin · 20 Apr 2007, 07:44 (Ref:1896037)

Careful Steve - there'll be letters you know!!!!!

On a more on topic note, is it worth arranging a meet up at the Kentagon?

Not all of us will be staying at the circuit and there's a lot of people I'd really like to meet who will be at this?

Farningham (only 1 mile away) has a good little Indian restraunt that does takeaway. Bit closer than the ones in Swanley that Dan suggests.
Back towards the M25, turn left at the King's garage roundabout, 100yards down the road, right at the T junction. Just a few feet after the junction. Parking a bit iffy. 3 pubs as well, 2 of which do food. 1 has big car park.

Although you and the Kelly are good friends of mine, having seen you working together, I never,never want to be on the same post as you.
In fact, I don't even want to be on the post next to you.

Stephen take note, in this case I am asking for special treatment (special needs, see) 13a sounds nice... nothing ever happens there does it (look up yr history books kiddies)

To the letter writers
THIS IS A JOKE, if in fact it does happen it is purely coincidental

now where's me white jacket that buttons up the back?

EvilPumpkin · 20 Apr 2007, 09:27 (Ref:1896102)

It's Mike's fault. He's a magnet. I didn't do anything - even when he hid behind me so the debris would hit me instead. I was getting to the stage where the yellow was going to be used like a baseball bat to whack stuff back out onto the track!

I'll be stopping for a beer oore two, looking to seing you and Grant again.

danccooke · 20 Apr 2007, 09:41 (Ref:1896118)

I am sure Mark, Dee and I (Kath and Dan if they are playing) too will all pop to the Kentagon for a couple before retiring to the awning to get leathered before bed.
Roll on next weekend. Working this one so can't play.

I agree. You gave me a very nice quiet day the last time.

Sorry Alasdair, but I borrowed it after the 1st MSVR meeting and we had to use the Manitou dragging cars through the gravel backwards and uphill !!

Will return it to you this weekend so you can use it before A1GP

mini1400 · 20 Apr 2007, 12:00 (Ref:1896222)

How about we stick all the 10/10th ers on post 17?

Will be camping for this one, so drinkies in the Kentagon will go down well..

Anyway, off to Rockingham shortly to see if the Clios roll as well there

**Stephen Green** · 20 Apr 2007, 12:08 (Ref:1896233)

I'm leaving for Rockingham in about 3 hours. See you tomorrow

& put the lurkers on post 25

that leaves about 1/2 a dozen for the rest of the circuit..

Have fun at the roundy roundy place with twiddly infield bits and professional racers, I'll be "enjoying" a 2 hour CV "race" at home - quite the opposite I think.

garybirch · 20 Apr 2007, 16:11 (Ref:1896468)

Drinks at the kentagon sound good.
How about Fri & Sat evenings from 8pm ish?
Anyone got a big flag or small blimp to fly?
:-0

Depending on your tastes, go to West Kingsdown Village (turn left Main Gate down the A20, second main turn on the left (new flats on the corner)], there is a parade of Shops, excellent Fish and Chippy! Also about two doors up there is a Butchers that opens about 0700 hours and will supply lovely, succulent Baguettes filled to your choice, and also Sausage Rolls, Pasties etc, all fresh.
For the basic items , also a small Co-op store for Toilet Rolls etc you forgot.
All, really, within walking distance from the Main Gate on a lovely Spring Evening!!!!!

I'm staying off circuit and have to do a mad dash up to Brentwood train station to pick my son up at 19:30 on the Friday so meeting up for a beer or two

on Saturday straight after racing ends would be good.

If I didn't know you so well I would be offended!

And I know you don't mean it about being on the next post to me. We've always worked as a well drilled team when we've been on adjoining posts!

Well that sounds like the order of the day. A quick drive to the 'chippy' then back to he Kentagon to get beered up. Wonderfull!

haystacks · 21 Apr 2007, 14:30 (Ref:1897030)

All being well I will be in my local, but all you stay aways have a good time in the Kentigan.

No caravan! BTW the indian restaurant down the road is very nice and well priced, I popped out for an quick indian with my family on the Saturday on the DTM weekend as it was my birthday.

JimW · 24 Apr 2007, 13:56 (Ref:1899336)

My tickets and information have not come through the normal marshalling channels so can some kind person tell me:

What time sign-on is on the Friday
Where it is (usual place in the paddock cafeteria?)
And where we are supposed to park (not camping).

Many thanks.

Jim

(In return I could tell you all sorts of Supplementary Regulations type stuff and when to sign-on if I was a driver.

)

The Fat Clerk · 24 Apr 2007, 14:12 (Ref:1899343)

Made me laugh seeing the advert on television last night. Prices start from £29 & no mention was made that the title had already been decided. Nice one J.P.

danccooke · 24 Apr 2007, 14:27 (Ref:1899354)

Do they do that when any other titles have been decided, it is called advertising....
We moan that gate numbers are down and that no one advertises, JP advertises and you criticise.

Not to mention that we are in the 2nd/3rd place fight

**Stephen Green** · 24 Apr 2007, 14:53 (Ref:1899377)

Anyone want to join me on post 16 then?

I think Jim's comments were made tongue in cheek by the way...
