Thanks for my Christmas card too, what a great idea!

Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year everyone, it will need to be for me with what I’ve got planned!

That'll keep the dragon happy!

Fantastic thanks, great to know there is some back up as I have just run the car in and am trying to get a proper map sorted by 24 July, in any event I want to try out the suspension (thanks Clive!) and tweak the settings for ‘fast road’ rather than track use, and I will probably be driving it there it’s road legal and I haven’t got a trailer so will travel pretty light. No OMP for me, fully synthetic and pre-mixing, so I hope they sell Shell V-power nearby! Just swapping sump and gearbox next two weekends, waiting on a gear lever but fingers crossed should be ready, will be able to confirm on 17 July

Hi Guys,
There is an outside chance I can make this meeting; is there a track day quick reference guide for newbies so I can check if my road car (and me) will comply with the regs?
Many thanks
Keith

Thanks for the link Clive, I would dearly love to go to the 7/7 event but I won’t be able to as we have another commitment I can’t swerve!

 

Thanks Clive,
It’s long overdue but I have been so busy with work I’ve decided it’s time to plan to do some meetings and try to ‘finish’ at least one car and enjoy driving it.....(I know, they are always a work in progress) 😂😂😂

Yey! I joined this club as the RX8-OC seems to have plenty of younger lads who are great but don’t really understand that old school is not an educational facility built in the 1980’s!
Rotary Norton owned by a pal of my brother and usually does the IoM from the Midlands every year.
Thanks for the welcome, you clearly have some taste in cars and bikes!

Hi All,

I'm Keith, I've owned a rotary car since 2005, when I bought a Velocity Red 231PS RX8. I'm old enough to remember the NSU R80, got married when Paul Hardcastle was number one in the UK, started work when the Porsche 911SC went from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, spent far too long as a banker, then in 2007 became an Independent Financial Adviser. Married, two sons one daughter, one grandson and a granddaughter, have loved anything to do with speed and power (I have every copy ever printed) since I was tiny and because my dad and uncle were engineers I am fascinated by how things work. Hobbies remarkably include football, golf, fishing, motorsport, and family in any order.
Today I got my ongoing project, an aptly named RX8 Evolve, MOT'd, sadly too late to get to Castle Coombe but hopefully I will get to meet some of you at other events. I have a 53 plate Titanium Grey 231PS which is street-ported and has some appropriate upgrades, the Evolve has had an REW heart transplant to carry around a big turbo, and I have a 20B which I am saving for another day.
Below you can see me, the cars, and the 20B.
Thanks for taking the time to read!
