OT: Message from Dan

The Cossie-finned mural disaster regularly turns up on ebay...

Hold on - how many Crapis has Conor had in the last 12 months?

He had one that was 'too good', then he had the one with mural - does he have a different shed now?

I'm sure you can get medical help for that.

I'm planning on doing a trackday with a mate in his 205 GTi sometime soon. That could be an excuse, but I'm not arranging it.

I bought that V12 XJ-S near Colchester, so you might be on to something..

I don't know what you're trying to say. Knockhill's just closer to Leeds than I remember.

lol - so true

Kendal... Hardknott?

Ah see, keep up at the back. I'm not sure myself, but I know it is more than you think it is.

I think the purpose of said trip and chip eating is to chat s*it in memory of Dan, and hopefully say something suitably offensive about him to commemorate his life, even if he isn't gone yet.

Pervy connotations aside, one of those will make a lot more sense for me for the foreseeable than a big saloon.

I don't fancy a Doblo given how lacklustre Paters is... any other suggestions?

I specifically want something with a high roof for ease of loading etc.

Golf+

You'd be the only person in the UK who could actually find one any more useful than a standard Golf ;-)

Not big enough... aside from that, probably not a bad choice price wise given they're not that sought after.

Another part of me is thinking maybe just get something like a Vito van and then getting something with at least four seats for a 'track toy' I just happen to use for family orientated duties.

We can do that anywhere though, really.

BTCC has the Clio Cup as one of its support acts, too.

He'd enjoy watching those... ;-)

I never even knew that series existed!

Looks pretty good.

Ok.

Let the squabbling over venue begin. ;-)

Pete M gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

I can do July?

Once I've had a reshuffle of the current fleet so that it reflects a van or estate, I'm going to be looking for something to do trackdays with... and at the mo, it's still looking likely to be a JDM BB4 Prelude H22a

Having said that, another breathed on 16v 106 Rallye / GTi also appeals.

So yes, would definitely be up for something like that once I've got something along those lines.

And you base this revealing insight upon what evidence, exactly?

Anyway, I've sussed why some of the northern contingents aren't keen to travel far; t'whippets need walking, and t'wife gets a bit mardy if she's left chained t'kitchen sink t'long and ends up pissing t'self.

Damn, until then, in the spirit of URCM, I was going to suggest a T5 Estate. I'm enjoying this one, enjoying it so much I think the Rangie is going to finally be sold shortly. I'll be down to one car, ffs.

Oulton Park suits me perfectly ;-)
