Ok weve got round four sorted at castle combe
http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthrea...4&page=1&pp=20

But Nothing for Donnington any of the midland brigade up for a day out or anyone else for that matter.
Donnington is pretty easy to get to right next to east midlands airport. This is the first race proper of the season and those new S class cars looked damn slippy on the TV last week.

So how far is donnington then from Manchester fella...

...sorry should look myself but I'm lazyeeeee

*goes to look*

Shaun · Apr 27th, 2004, 07:26 AM

About a hundred miles. An hours drive then!

Damo · Apr 27th, 2004, 11:49 AM

*LMAO*

Errrrrrrr my Username says Damo not bubblegoose_4rh or chrome.

Your location BTW, shouldn't it be plane....or have I missed something

Spot on BTW from my house is apparently 101.2 miles

Will have a think about it. Been a while since I was at Mallory Park.

Oddball · Apr 27th, 2004, 12:04 PM

Ah feck, the one closest to me and i'm away

Any idea when the Oulton park one is ??

Shaun · Apr 27th, 2004, 12:25 PM

Its 4th September and im away for that one my local meet!

J1JPE · Apr 29th, 2004, 12:26 PM

looks like I'll be being dragged around Cambridge & London with the g/f and outlaws, but if I can escape (or split with her) will be up for it

cooper_sport · Apr 29th, 2004, 05:44 PM

I'm planning on seeing this race. I will be coming up from bournemouth on the south coast so if anybody wants to meet up on the way let me know.

Cheers
John

Bugger! Thought it was a Sunday

Can they not postpone it for me! Probably going to be busy this sunday...

...will have to see what i can do!

Shaun · May 14th, 2004, 08:55 PM

Last call ladies and gentlemen

Damo · May 15th, 2004, 02:08 AM

I wanted to do, but can't now because I'm not to do many miles in my car ntil its checked out by BMW R.E. the tyre wear :'(

Unless anyone wants to be by chauffour?

Suppose it'll give me chance to sort out some bits at home this weekend, I.e. clearing rooms for decorating!

cooper_sport · May 15th, 2004, 08:32 PM

For those that didn't go to donnington you missed a great days racing.

For starters, we had a round of the Britcar Enduro race which featured a heavily modified MINI cooper with a BMW M3 engine, I think. This MINI was great to watch and had a great sound. I think Shaun had some pictures so look out for them.

We then had the stock hatch race which was your saxo's, fiesta's, 205''s, etc. This provided some close racing to watch.

Finaly, we had the JCC race. The new cooper S works sound really good and look great with the new rear wing. When they went up the hill they just pulled away from the cooper's due to the big difference in power. As usually the racing was close and fun to watch and now with the two versions we always have something to watch on the track.

One thing you must do is watch this race on Sky Sports. All I can say is the start was very costly for 5 racers.

Looking forward to the next two rounds at Castle Combe.

A fantastic day got some sunburn as usual never learn Arther forster won the race 5 cars involved in a first corner kablooey some looked totally daffy ducked. Do not miss this one on sky!
M3 Mini sounds awsome at full chat the only car to rival the 360 Challenge for noise. JCC ers didnt disapoint with a close race the gap between S and club isnt massive and adds to the spectacle.
Castle combe here we come.

Oh and Lisa Gwylim was there!

minisoopercooper · May 16th, 2004, 07:41 PM
