It's a local called Dave Jones (see Facebook), didn't he used to be in the Monkees? Alec

Yeah but I couldn't work out the reg, think it was a 12 Alec

Bit worse than Keiths, what a sad end for a great car Alec

We did see (very briefly) a Blue with Silver stripes going the other way as we were blatting around the Evo Triangle on Sunday, he would have seen a Silver, 2 Whites, 2 Blacks and a Ginger Alec

I have the same issue, sloping drives are a bastard, you can't even check your oil Alec

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that drive his 86 with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition; And gentlemen in England now-a-bed Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That drove with us the Evo Triangle upon 86 day. In the above please feel free to substitute sister for brother as Shakespeare was a bit sexist All videos available here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrLzjG54SK-XRjfJdof295uJiGKbX5OH My Facebook album here https://www.facebook.com/alec.keeler/media_set?set=a.10152245544784143.1073741856.601834142&type=1 Faiths https://www.facebook.com/faith.meaney/media_set?set=a.10152875256832646.1073741880.821767645&type=1 Laurens https://www.facebook.com/lauren.blighton/media_set?set=a.10152056734916467.1073741900.646541466&type=1

Yeah, wifes camera was on multishot and I uploaded the lot, now whittled down I have put the videos on a playlist on the YouTube channel here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgrLzjG54SK-XRjfJdof295uJiGKbX5OH The one from the GoKart track up to the lake is this one (YouTube will eventually turn it the right way up )

nah you'll love it, the language isn't too hard to pick up (unlike chinese) and loads of Japanese will want to practice their English on you Reading stuff in Kanji, now that's where it gets difficult Alec (ichi-ban henna gaijin 1988-1989)

From Toyota report of day http://blog.toyota.co.uk/celebrating-the-toyota-gt86-on-track

yep same one, CH24QZ

No Rob you need to get up and drive it, clues in the name "Drivers Club"

Added it to the calendar Will, looks interesting

Rob's BBQ 30th August is in Surrey http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/calendar/1-club-calender/08-2014 Alec

Yep no problem Dave, we are meeting up with Lauren at Chester services, we didn't agree what time to meet there but looking at google maps this means we probably want to leave there at 10:40 latest, so if you want a full breakfast get there at 10:00, if you just want to grab a tea 10:30? Alec

Right so for tomorrow how about meeting at the Ponderosa at 11:30 for a 12:00 set off ? Then along Martins route on the googlemap with a divert round the evo triangle? https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zbyi25bL2mYE.kobddvHWpWZQ 1. Starts at Ponderosa http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk LL20 8DR, 2. drive to the car park at the go kart track LL21 0RU. 3. Do a lap of the triangle with photo ops, meet back at the go kart track 4. Head off along Martins route to Mold Any suggestions/modifications ? I just want to make sure that we do at least celebrate a proper UK 86 day Anyone else around Manchester want to join Faith Lauren and I for a meal in Wilmslow tonight ? Alec

I've been playing with the data logging from Torque I did when I was doing the video run with Lauren. I've synched the speed data against the time and created a captions file to attach to the video in youtube, so now you can see what speed the torque app said we were doing at the time, Unfortunately the clocks in the camera and phone weren't synched but by looking at the GPS co-ordinates vs what I can see on the video I thinks its pretty close, Note they don't start until 22s in. Enjoy

This is the googlemap that Martin did https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=znhZ9VHLhJzA.kEPLFWiG6dvU

and this one which I think is me going past him on the pit straight when he let me past (2:40 ), then me letting him back past later (5:40), also has short bit of the racecar towards the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37fpwNfyuOM

This is Senna's vid, a Black one nearly goes off onto the grass at Druids towards the end https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvk8GP5f-bc

Videos from morning session http://youtu.be/DtF4E4henRU] http://youtu.be/N85Umjy3QcI]

Nearly run out of petrol in the morning, the car hesitated on the approach down to Lodge and I'm thinking "What's going on I'm not hitting the rev limiter?" then I looked down to see if I had a CEL and noticed needle on bottom stop and petrol pump light on, so dived into pits without a slowing down lap. Convoyed round track to Cascades back up service road to Fogarty Moss After lunch we were convoyed back through the BTCC paddock as it was being set up then back on track (again try playing vid if its still upside down come back later once youtube has done its stuff)
