Updating the list with another RX-8. There is already one RX-7 listed to go to this event (owner Eric Slade - not sure if an MRC member or not?). Anyone else want to join the fun?
Just under 5 weeks to go............

:driving Friday night bump!

Bump! C\'mon, we\'ve got an "RX-8" drifting team going to this, but are sadly lacking some RX-7 support! Anyone else for this event in about 3 weeks from now?

I\'ll probably go for this!
I do hope you can join us, Charlie P - it\'ll be a fun day. I did see there was another RX-7 booked to come along, but I don\'t think they are an MRC member....
oki paid and confirmed my confirmation number would suggest there is 38 cars attending so far
28 doh! ..........
Still got to sort out a few issues and have to run my new Carbonetic clutch
in for 800 miles, if all this pans out in the next week and if there are still
spaces I will come along with the tripple (Kermit).

Let me know if you need some help with racking up the miles :Thumbsup!
Bump!
Hijacking Malcom\'s thread whilst he is away on holiday. :Giggle
This event is now less than 2 weeks away and the RX8 Drifting Team is getting bigger. :wiggle
I noticed there\'s an RX7 (Philip) as well now confirmed, is this anyone from the MRC?

Btw, I see that Malcolm hasn\'t posted the blurb about the drifting tyres for hire on the day... full info are on the MOT website but just wanted to highlight the fact that they are available in case tyre wear was a concern for some of you that fancy this event but are undecided.
I think it works out at £40.00 for two rims with drift tyres on and about £2.50 for each additional tyre that you go through during the day.
Happy Easter everyone!!

I kept the colours just to keep you happy Crissy
Well done!! Both for robbing your little brother\'s piggy bank and for keeping the colour scheme intact. It\'s so pretty. :D
No Problem Crissy anything to keep you happy.
:Thumbs-up:Thumbs-up Well done Aston! Not sure what the "coluor scheme" is all about? Have you had a pink respray :Laugh
Bump to get on "new posts" list for anyone who missed this. Still time to book a place :)
Last chance for any last minute takers, I think there may still be some places left on this. Weather\'s looking to be dry, maybe overcast (so good for keeping the engines cooler!)

Car cleaning time me thinks. already had 2 bucket wash not time to chamois (or however you spell it) and a good waxing
was a great outing.
Took some footage of the day. This is as a rx8 convoy enters Silverstone following a rather tasty looking Rx7. I apoligise about my profanities thought we were lost.

I\'ve posted a few pics HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/16924880@N03/4527489935/) on Flickr.
I only got the camera out for about 10 mins during the morning drift session, so if you weren\'t out in that 10 minute window you aren\'t in any of the pictures. Having too much fun to fiddle with caneras!
