Asda Charity Day
 
Not sure if this in the right section so Mods, sorry if it is, please feel free to move it :-)

Can't wait for this tomorrow, I pee a little each time I think about how good it will be!

I'm travelling up from Brighton at approx 4:15-4:20am.

Is anyone else leaving a similar area at a similar time? Was thinking we could all meet up and convoy together? Maybe meet at peas pottage at 5am or something? Anyone interested?

Skullfudge 10-08-2012 11:02 AM

This is a blinding day out mate. You will LOVE it I promise you.

We are leaving from Tonbridge at 4.30 but will be heading straight to the Shell garage for 7.00am

Shell garage post code LE9 6QD.

Chuck that in your sat nav and see you there mate. Many Scoobs are meeting there.

ScoobyStu 10-08-2012 11:37 AM

Ok mate lovely, I will aim to get there for then. See you there :-)

Greig 10-08-2012 01:02 PM

My sat nav recons about 2.5 hours from
Gatwick I was planning on leaving around 5:30



Plan earlier you lazy bugger :)

Drive straight to the event mate.

Skullfudge 10-08-2012 02:09 PM

whoops ... I hit edit rather than reply :)

ScoobyStu 10-08-2012 02:21 PM

We are setting off from the bottom of the a23 just after 4:30am now. I know its only 2 and a half hours or so but don't want to chance it, probably be going past Gatwick around 5 if any good? Meeting the others at the Shell Garage, can't wait!!

What a cracking day that was. Only managed to get out three times. First up was a GT3, nearly soiled myself. 2nd was a 550bhp Gtr, nearly peed myself. Last but certainly not least was with SkullFudge, nearly jizzed myself!! All brilliant in their own right. Many thanks to Skillfudge for agreeing to do a few more trips for myself,Midlife and another chap from P1owners, it was awesome! Top man :-)

Bolesroor 11-08-2012 08:29 PM

Top cars, top people and just an awsome day.Even had the Vulcan fly over for a few minutes :yeah:

Thanks to Clive (Skullfudge) for posting event and providing lead vehicle for the last few miles to the venue. Also thanks to Charlie for putting up with the slow mobile on the way :oldman:Nice to meet you fella, get that tire change asap! And thanks to Chris (WR1) for the warm welcome :five:

+ 1 Top day great show from all the people that pushed their cars very hard to give the passengers the ride of their lives. As Scoobystu said bit of sex wee when I went in SkullFudge's animal.:10:

Skullfudge 12-08-2012 01:55 AM

Ian you must have been excited.... You sounded like a female ;)

Skullfudge 12-08-2012 06:48 PM

Here are a couple of onboard vids.

I sound a be repetitive some times,. It's okay with mates but sitting with many people you don't know is difficult to know what to talk about.

I just left the GoPro running for 3 laps.

I got in and was greeted by this little old fella called Chris who was very nice, don't get me wrong but all i could envisage was poodling down the back straight with Classic fm on. Oh well i thought, it's still a ride in a nice car. Off we set, dear me, how wrong could i have been. We were approaching the second corner so fast I honestly thought we'd had it! I'd have braked about 5 seconds earlier but once he braked i could see why he left it so late as i nearly went through the windscreen! Anyway round we went ridiculously fast,I got out shaking. Before i got out i complemented him on his driving, "well" he said, "I've been in motorsport all my life racing and as a little bit on the side to top up my pension i instruct here"(at Bruntingthorpe). That would be why you're so good then?! Lesson learnt, never judge a book by its cover.....

Thanks Stu,
Its funny I never think its that clean until someone comments so many thanks :doubleup:
I had a nice blast with `Simon` in his WR1, gutted I missed the chance to go out with Clive`s hopefully I`ll get the chance next year?

The wife had her Christian Grey moment in his R8, ooh that sounds messy :rofl::tissue:

As I said it was just a fantastic day, hope to see you around :ok:

Skullfudge 12-08-2012 08:57 PM

Was you the next guy that was due in my car mate ?

Charlie 12-08-2012 08:58 PM

Thanks to bolesroor for helping me keep my licence and show me the way there :five:
Just ordered some toyo r888 s to replace my bald tyres from flying around all day.
Quality day out ,perfect weather and quality people, looking forward to the next one :doubleup:

It was clean mate believe me :-)

I'd like to have gone out in 'Black Widows' as well as apparently he's running mid 400's in his so would like to have experienced that as its something I'd like to do to mine. Truth be told I'd have spent over £200 if I could have had a lap in everything I wanted too,haha. Glad everyone had a good day and yes, hopefully see you soon. Should be plenty of opportunities in the coming months hopefully :-)

Did enjoy spotting you on the motorway and following you to the garage :yeah: there was a "It`s Skullfudge" moment in the car :lol:

Charlie your very welcome mate! I was worried you might think we were a tad slow on the way up but at least you had a bit more fuel for the track :grin:

Good pictures thanks for the link E. That's me in with Skullfudge, brilliant!

ScoobyStu 17-08-2012 05:34 PM

Anyone know what happened to the lad in the classic that was doing laps? His bonnet was returned to the stand we were on as that's we're he was doing laps from but didn't see him or the car again? Can't have been good?!

Think the car was fine, saw some pics of it on p1woc or Scoobynet (can't remember which) of it parked up with the bonnet missing. Didn't look like any other obvious damage, which was lucky :)

That's alright then. Can be nasty when the bonnet comes up/off. Dissapointing way to end the day although at least he and with the sounds of it his car, were ok. Thanks for replying mate :-)
