Weather's looking like it's going to behave, not been to Oulton for a couple of years, looking forward to it.


yellowcab - 7/9/14 at 04:02 PM

Yes, the one I did with you in 2012 was my last visit.

I'll let you know what I'm doing, re meeting up.

nothing special on how to fill it, put extra oil in the engine and it should just fill itself.
i've had a few issues with mine so do know a bit about how they work with the different valves so can have a look at yours on the day.

WTF, how do i get my text back to normal

You were missing an [ / i ] (without the spaces in between) after "originally posted by bigfoot"

So I've got my licence, 2x 25L jerry cans, a toolbox, car cover just in case, support car (the missus!) a foot pump, waterproofs, various cameras and lots of drinks. I've checked the car over to make sure that nothing is loose, checked fluids etc. Anything else I should take?

Crash helmet? .. you've got it all pretty much covered there. If you get stuck for anything, usually there's someone else in the paddock that can help.

Number one rule....dont forget ya license like i always do


The Black Flash - 9/9/14 at 06:35 PM

Unfortunately I forgot the bit about "not breaking down on the way there". Leaking rocker cover = clouds of oil smoke and oil all down the side of the car. Fortunately nothing caught fire but it ended my day before it began. <bad words>
Hope everyone else had a good time though.


bigfoot4616 - 9/9/14 at 07:58 PM

that's a shame, it was a good day.


Andy D - 10/9/14 at 09:54 AM

Superb day yesterday, good weather, good company, spot on!

Between us, my son and I took loads of pics. I've uploaded some of them here:

Thanks for the pics Andy and was good to catch up with you again and meet up with Bigfoot.

Agreed it was a great day indeed even though there was a plethora of alternator issues

Hope to see you all again soon.

Bit of vid from me, early session chasing a pal in the red zetec car, which sadly expired.


Andy D - 11/9/14 at 06:26 AM

Two more vids, my lad Pete at the helm.

Chasing a supercharged Duratec Westy




And, Bigfoot's Striker



He had to work hard there..
