OSTD 2006?

[Dermot]

Lets get started on this early Any thoughts Dave?



p.s. I sent you a pm on this btw

[Dingy]

Yeah, Oulton park

[james cruise]

Would be great day out Dermot, make it after march though as I only start drivin then.

It's usually on in Bruntingthorpe in June.

It's my MkII annual highlight.

A convoy would be fantastic James.

[james cruise]

I couldn't see any problem with the convoy Dermot, would be a great idea I think. Keep me updated on the goinings on so.

Just watch the thread grow.....


I've done this trip for the last 4 or 5 years, it's physically tough and tiring, pretty hard on the car, and your wallet, but it's so much craic it's well worth it.

The driving it top class, and to let your car loose on the track is a riot.

There's a fair bit of drinking (hic), one night in a tent, and probably 2 overnight boat crossings. Leave Friday at 4pm, arrive Liverpool 6am the next day. Back into Dublin for 6am Monday.

Sounds to me like a bit of a plan is growing, I think I will struggle for fuel consumption with the new engine and also a four speed box, Is Dublin the easyist way to get their?????
ops sorry for the hi jacking

[RS2000CUSTOM]

Sorry not got back to you Dermot

I am awaiting 2006 costings

Last year they hiked the costs and I dread it but they may do the same next year !

Will let all know asap !!

I have a 4 speed also James and It's fine.

Motorway cruising 70 - 75 is not bad for fuel 25- 30 mpg. It's tough on th ears though after a couple of hours.

Dublin is probably the best Port, as the overnight sailings work well, and Liverpool - Brunters is not a long hike really.

I'd look at Cork - Swansea however.

p.s. Thanks Dave - keep us informed.

If it's not an RS2000 then it will be my 4x4 Cosworth- just ask Dermot about our little off road trip in it in 2004 LOL

[Dermot]

I remember that ok.

Grass cutting expedition.

Car was very stable, unlike driver and passenger.
