Tamiyaclub Winter Drive 2002 - Nov. 24th

[netsmithUK]

I've been and checked and the map is spot on.

This is the glamourous meeting place, first proper turning on the left coming from the A614/A1 roundabout. Friar Tucks Portacabin. Nice big hard standing carpark. Meeting/Trading time 10am - 11am

It is just across the road from the main enterance to clumber park.

Although it £3.50 a car to get in the park 'proper' there is a barbque area which might be quite suitable for a bit of racing before you get to the paying bit. We can work this out on the day.

At best I think the conditions will be 'soft'

well all thats left for me to do is pack the car, so far Ive managed to cram 16 into the boot + all the radios,batteries,wet weather gear and such with still a little room to spare, Ive got one on the rear parcel shelf (terra scorcher) and so far 4 in the rear foot wells with possible room for another 3 ontop, the back seat is so far empty, but Ive got 9 cars in boxes to squeeze into there, I may have to take a few of them out (FX-10 and Meteor first me thinks) I was worried that they wouldent all fit and that I would have to compremise and leave a few behind but I think I will just about manage it somehow???

Im looking to be at the meeting place for 10 look for the Green Proton.[8D]

PS: bought a new radio on friday and fitted it into the Icarus this afternoon, give it a quick test drive in the street and BOY does it fly, nowt but powerslides on the wet tarmac that will be the first car I drive tomorrow.[]

See Yah all there []

[Jimbo]

I'm coming tomorrow[] .I throught the weather was going to be that bad that instead of bringing cars, I was going to bring a boat[]

I'm only bringing 4 cars though[]as I can't fit that much in my car.

See you all tomorrow.

Be there or be Square.

Well i'm rebuilding the green avante as you read this , brand new :- torque splitters/ball diffs , dynatech 02h , novak esc and sanyo 3000 NiMH battery , I cant wait to see which bit breaks first !

Might bring the monster beetle aswell as a bit of a contrast .

I suppose it might draw too much noise attention if I bring the MBX4 ?

Cheers Alan

Big big thank you to everyone who made yesterday possible, it was an absolute blast, perfect weather for splashing around with the Sand Scorcher, it seemed to make a lot of people smile, i've just seen the film clip, its fantastic, for those who weren't there, mine's the red and white one, unfortunately out of frame for a lot of the film due to changing over batteries.

gonna get some fresh cells made up for the next bash, just hope there's some mud and water around!!

[stulec52]

Mud and Water??

In GB? surely not????

It did really show the Sand Scorchers to be the great cars that they are, 1 for show, and at least 1 to run !!!!!!

wonder if they will go as well in snow??? I guess I'll find out really soon!!!
