I'll take the daily drive ... the golf.
Then at least I have power steering and some other mod cons

For those who have booked, I will send you the details soon to deposit $ into the club account.

Thanks!

<edit> 2 spots left now!

The Skidpan Day is now booked out - 15 positions taken - if anyone has a booking and can't make it, please let us know so that we can allocate your spot.

Should be a great day!

For those booked in I will post up details soon concerning the day. If anyone is interested in coming along to watch you are welcome.

Anyone recording the event ?

phantom · **Posted:** Sun Nov 08, 2009 11:23 pm

Tonight I have sent joining instructions to the locals who are booked in to the event, if anyone didn't get them let me know (I sent it via PM).

As mentioned above, will we have any spectators coming along who will record the event (still photography or video)?

I'll be taking photos (and may-be some video again), which will be posted up here for everyone to see. But I don't know about any professional/amature photographers attending the day. I am interested in putting in if one is available though.

I need more photos of my manky little Mk1 'cutting sick' :lol:
