Spent a few hours at Brands today. A few of the Time Attack guys were getting some testing in. Got some video too, will try and sort it later.

That first picture, the evil R33, who owns that? That looks absolutely superb.

Best of luck to all competitors for this weekend.

Cool, nice one...I really wanted to go today but couldn't get time off work...boo !

Go luck on Sunday all Time Attackers !!!

I hope it doesnt rain like it just did on the way home from Bluewater, the standing water was so deep it was spraying up over the roof of the bloody car

That is Neil Wrenn's R33, Listerofsmeg. Neil, Shane and myself where there today and Jezz it was bloody hot

I nearly passed out at the end of the day.

Moleman you should have said hi dude, I never be introduced to you before, so I have no idea who you are, any-way's glad you never got a pic of the other side of the Taisan's wing( Blue peter would be proud

)

I didn't know you where there moleman. I was with Niel all day sorting out the car so he could get some good track time in. I was with Mark from abbey for a fair bit nicking tools and spares out of the back of his van. Thanks to Mark for the help and sorting out a fuel pump delivered to us but we didnt need it in the end. Good man.

First time i have met Shane today and his car is awesome best of luck. I even got to see his boxer shorts as he was getting out off his race suit when i was walking by to get some drinks.

John the car looks stunning on track and i saw you lot playing with suspension settings all day and hope you got it sorted. Sorry i didnt say hello but i was working hard on neils car and when i was finished you would be out on track.

It was great seeing 2 r32 race cars going at it on track. Made my day.

I should be there Sunday to give Niel a hand so see you all there.

Lol, Smokey. I did see you a couple of times but you were busy with Ollie et al sorting the car mate. I didn't really want to interrupt.

Ollie was my ARDS instructor by the way. I did manage to say a quick hello to him.

Ah, I was with Mark when you brought the fuel pump back, before Simon turned up.

I said hello to Neil through the window of his car as he was about to go out on circuit.

I'll be there Sunday too, so will try a bit harder to say hello.

Ohhh I didn't have any idea that you where there dude. We now know what is wrong with the set-up and have tuned it as best as we can.

See you on Sunday

Madden · 7th August 2008, 10:05 AM

Moleman i think i saw you putting your head through Neils window as they where going out on track again.

Listerofsmeg · 7th August 2008, 10:17 AM

Good to mean you Moleman, nice shot of my car too, i can now say i own an "evil" R33

top bombing!

Very glad to have done that day i have to say, the first few sessions out were a real eye opener about GTR handling. Its the first time ive ever driven the car in any sort of anger on track and with help from Paul Palmer and jamie, the confidence in the cars abilty just grew and grew. Controlling power slides is great fun!!!

as this shows....

Top day

still a fair bit of time to be found especially on braking zones though so some real positives from the day.
