Congrats on getting the job

Saw you last night but only said Hi

I believe Pablo was trying to arrange some go-karting or something similar with another club last year which never happened and I was well up for that! Not sure if its a possibility this year even if its not with another club!

Not sure how many people are into it but ill put it up. Paintballing is a bloody good day out!! Might be worth adding to the list

[Delboy]

Hi dude, good to see you settling into your new role

As said last night, that puretech racing is awesome and excellent value for money only reservation would be that some people might find it a bit of a trek, not me though as I'm down that way alot anyway

i bet thats fun!!

[MEL]

I tried to get ptr to come to the last little havens day but they wanted serious money

[Hugh Janus]

I would certainly be interested in pretty much all of the above, especially the paintballing and carting

Oh and the simulator looks fun

How about an Essex/Kent meet tunnel run with a group photo shoot at the end...Daz????

[Delboy]

Actually, you know what Hugh that's a cracking idea. We always do static meets etc, would be nice to lay out a good route with some decent roads and either take a Sunday afternoon drive to a nice pub or a night drive to somewhere. Like this idea alot

And before anyone points out my guest status and asks why I'm getting involved I'll be paying up soon!

[voodoo_melon]

Buckmore would be ace, might be a bit pricey though?

[DeanS15]

i'm definitely up for paintball or karting

if buckmore is too dear, theres always bayford meadows - it's not a bad little circuit...

[Cosy]

I am good with all suggestions, although paintball can make me a tad violent...

Day out at Arena Essex

http://www.arena-essex-raceway.co.uk...ing=13-03-2011

I tried that a couple of times and got very little response



idea stolen from vvoc which has been popular with them a couple of times... lap of the M25 and get some stickers made up to give out to participants (similar to nurburgring stickers)

[sxbaz]

i dont get why anyone would wanna go round the m25, most people would wanna avoid it?? must be a vauxhall thing

During the day definitely, but at night (late late) it can be good fun, some decent tunnels around the top haven't done it for many years though, used to be something me and my mates would do if we got bored

It's also useful for wracking up run in miles, just got to remember to change gear occasionally and vary engine speed/load. I ran in one of my old CA's in about a week and a half doing that a few times

The tunnels are between junctions 1 and about 23 just do those, off at the next exit and back again, fook going all the way round



A proper drive out would be good though

[sxbaz]

isnt it all 50mph up round there at the moment?

[Mark]

Only around the A12, both tunnels are national speed limit again

[Delboy]

That's definitely a much better idea Mark

Forgot to say when I used to do that I lived off J8, so when we'd got that far we generally just thought nuts to it and went all the way around oh to be young, daft and living at home with limitless fuel money again

[Daz]

Driving round the M25 at anytime is the most boring thing I can think of lol.

tunnel run sounds good. As does the freeloader Delboy's idea of a sunday drive out to a pub. I'm thinking, choose a random pub with a nice country road drive to it.

Paintball, erm got bad memories of that lol.

As for Karting, Rayleigh is shite and boring, as it brentwood. Lakeside is a good track with the pro karts. I always preferred Bayford Meadows over Buckmore park.
