Were there any repairs needed on your last visits guys? For example, brakes/tyres etc

Anyone know the round trip mileage?

Its about 1000-1400 for the mileage and tyres/brakes were a little wasted

mr tommo · 18 Dec 2005 at 20:33

But not so wasted that they needed changing there?

Just working out the cost atm, does £600 exc Food & Drink sounds about right averaging roughly 25mpg

?

Should be fine with that mate

What car is it?

mr tommo · 18 Dec 2005 at 20:40

Pretty much fixed on a e46 323 coupe which **hopefully** should be sorted by end of jan. Just need do a little more research on them before i take the plunge.

Oh and May is just in time for my 3rd student loan installment

Can you film your laps around the track? or purchase photos?

Fliming is not allowed out there and there isnt any you can buy either

But have a look for "bullet cams"

gobbo · 18 Dec 2005 at 20:47

Providing I can get a lift, and i've got no exams i'm a definate. Obviously who ever I get a lift off can expect a contribution to petrol/ferry fairs for the trip.

mr tommo · 18 Dec 2005 at 20:48

Dont Bullet cams stick out from the bonnet or roof of the car though? would have thought they could be spotted pretty easily?

Did you take yours last time mate?

I might have a spare bucket seat in a stripped out E36 BMW 328i Sport so we will see.

you can put them anywhere inside of out so can hide them very well.

Ok dang, i'll keep an eye on the thread and keep it updated with status. Thanks for the offer

Dangerous · 18 Dec 2005 at 20:57

Will have to open a lottery for this spare seat.

Its a shame that they dont have a photographer with it being such a big...toll road

Isn't there any chance of a dedicated ocuk photographer?
I would happily pay for some good photo's
