Just back in the girlfriends place after having a whopper day down in Goldstone. Gonna get some grub and then I'll post properly about the day. :D
cool any pic's lad?
I have no drifting pics, but there was a few cameras there, so the pics should start appearing soon.
Anyways, what a day. Loads and loads of seat time, and amazing driving from all. Especially from Jay, the lad in the red R32, Chris Brady, and all the other proper spec'd cars. Seeing the lads in the pro-spec cars on the track was kind of disheartening(sp) to be honest, but after a bag of chips and a can of coke to get the old confidence up, I got stuck in as well. :)
The best part of the day for me was watching everybody get progressively better as the day wore on, and watching them get some savage angles, and mucho smoke. Watching Jay hitting the inflatable cone clipping point was pretty cool too.
My rear bumper got some scrapes from milling the tyres out of it, but as Gem kept saying all day "that's all part of it". :D
Oh, and a big thanks to Ste, who kindly donated his tyres after his car wouldn't run properly. Thanks again buddy, it was greatly appreciated.
Few cool yokes about ahrite!! That lad in the red32 was flyin!!
Fair have to get another RWD!
what a day!! will have to get some of the vids up. might edit them and put them all in one long vid.
thanks for a perfect drift day lads :cool:
anyone that has vids/pics of me goin sideways - do not hesitate to contact me pm'ing me on here, we will arrange their collection :>
i dont even want to comment in here now:(
even tho the car wouldn't run right i still had a good time once it went back on the trailer. i cant stand watching drifting when i should have been out there but watching jay attack the cone was good crack.
we have to sort an other day down there but wait untill i know my car is right please:D
oh and thanks to nixon for bringing the seat down, having a look at my car (and andy too)
and a hella big thanks to barry for bringing the car down and back for me
Gud owl turnout, car didnt feel right so did'nt risk killing it lol, big big thanks to andy and the lads for pulling my yolk down;)
Red r32 sum cool driving, and kev in the ps13 sum fuckin pilot cheers for the spin:D:D
yo id like to thank sum of the boys meself the lad in that chaser for robin loads of cable ties and helpn me put my intercooler pipe back on !!! and the dude wit the hat ???? cant remember his name but sound guy tho !:D .....
it was my first day on a track doing a practice and i had a ball eventually got the hang of it !!! :cool: he he
It was hardley Mike meegan in the red32?
We were down with the mad 535i, first time in it, first time on the track as well, great fun, although I had only 2 laps because huge flames came from under the car. It turned out to be a fuel leak, will sort it out soon.
Looks like we'll be frequent users there, the owner is great, track is good fun, it runs on weekends (unlike watergrasshill) and cheap:D. What else you want

Had a great day out myself, the lack of power in the 180 is getting a little frustrating but still had great fun and particularly towards the end was having a right laugh out with Jay.
BIG thanks to all who came along and a huuuuuge thanks to the Goldstone crew, who literally could not have been more sound throughout the day, and we'll be back as soon as possible!
Big thanks to all who brought Siofra out for spins too, she had a ball!

Better this than nothing:p
Good man Mick! Get your priorities right!Quote:

Great day out, one of the best driftdays i'v done i reckon! just such craic with the idea of outer clipping points! gave the crowd ALOT to cheer about!
Micko in the skyline was seriously impressive, and the navan lads in the cam gave such entertainment to EVERYONE, fair play to ya's!
Big thanks to the Goldstone crew, the day went brilliantly and i think the way the day went is making us all itching to go back soon! and we will!
Thanks to Greg for getting me chips too, haha!
Cant wait for next day man was a good laugh was some craic later on in the day any vids of kev and kilian
Yeah i think Darragh got a vid of killian undertaking kev and the celebratory stoppie-into drift thing that he did, ha!:DQuote:
