Do I remember someone saying that they were going to USC this year? If so, when is it and who is going? Is it worth trying to organise a club space so that we go as a group and get discount/get in free ( + track time extra)?

 

[MikeR33]

I'm going for the weekend, i'll be on the 200+club area.

USC

Guy.

Yeah I'm already going with Warren and Shak off here.

I believe it is on the 12th August. Well I hope it is as we have arranged it ??

Info for the USC weekend

Alright then guys, I will start again.
Is there anyone who is not going as part as another club who wants to go as skyline club?
or alternatively can us not already going tag along with someone else?
Has anyone who is going already got a contact number and any price details?

USC

Dave.

Yeah let's all go up together. I was going to mention it Monday but as you got in first .

[davewilkins]

lets do it

Ok. Club camping has been fully booked for some time. If people like me and guy want to tag along will we be able to plonk our cars in with yours ( I remember them keeping clubs and public cars on either sides of the strip when it was ultimate fast car).
How early are you goin as I am on the pop as usual the night before (house partyyyyy).
I would not mind giving the old 32 as blast as I shoved the boost up to 1.1 bar on sunday and it seems a lot better now (380/390 bhp?) I struggle with a good start though as I cannot slip the clutch and worry about the transmission when revving and dumping it. Am I being a big girls blouse?

Clutch

When doing draggy starts, I gave the R32 5,000 rpm and sidestepped the clutch

This span all 4 wheels for a microsecond and then it would leap like a Gazelle (or Salmon if wet).

gAZELLE

Joss

You don't meen a Singer Gazelle do you . Wow.

 

[davewilkins]

Joss is side stepping

Thanks for the advice Joss. I will try that on the way to work tomorrow morning.

 

[davewilkins]

take off

Cheers Joss, that works fine. No wheelspin though and it bogs down a bit but 5000k start shoots off down the road.

 

[Joss]

Try 5,500

 

[Joss]

Singer Gazelle

Ah yes!

And here she is .. leaping like a salmon

 

[davewilkins]

What is Joss on?

I have noticed that over twenty people have downloaded Joss' picture, but no-one has been able to think of anything to put as it is so strange and therefore this thread has died, so I have revived it. Has anyone else got pictures of their cars leaping like salmons (ps for anyone that does not know joss, the picture is not really his car )

 

[Joss]

Odd pictiure

I was lucky finding that .. I couldn't picture a Singer gazelle but found a Singer fan site and discovered that pic, much to my amusement.

I can remember being driven in the Singer varient of the Imp back in the 70s

Water wings


I always wondered what fish-tailing looked like ? ?
Now I know
Thanx Joss

 

[Scott]

Show off !!!!


Joss,
Your a real name dropper aren't you, when it comes to your automotive exploits, what with your Singers and Imps.

This is probably where you got your taste for quick transport.

Well done on the trivia and coming up with such a photo so quickly. Mind you its probably from you private Singer collection. :smokin: :smokin:

 

[davewilkins]

What are your plans for sunday?

Ok guys back to reality and not Joss' classic car dreams.
What time are you meeting up sunday and where?
From the direction I am coming in, I might as well meet you there. What are you going if the weather looks dodgy (as of course you cannot run on a damp track)?

 

[TOKYO]

USC

Dear USC'ers

Yeah are we meeting up? I'm personally going in an Escort Cossie as owned by Warren on here. Leaving the 34 at home for a well deserved rest plus I can have a kip for a change . Only downer is no smoking but can't have everything I suppose.

So are we meeting OR WHAT.

Before I go must mention Warren's Cossie. Beware, very very quick. Couldn't shake him at an indicated 168, flat out in 5th, last night which I know for a FACT is a TRUE 162. Got to say what a buzz though :smokin: . Shame it was so wet. No the road not my pants .

See Ya.

[davewilkins]

naughty, naughty

I will try and be there for 10am (it's the getting out of bed at 8am after the night before that is the problem). I would not have minded seeing what your 34 is like in a straight line in anger. I will have to watch Joss then.

 

[Warren]

Yes Thanks for towing me home last night.......
