Default 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?

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.

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

+ 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.

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.

Midlifem his mate and a P1 Woc member as Passengers







Mrs SpiderPig this time.







More to come. Uploading or rendering.

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
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

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

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

I queued a couple of times but seem to just miss you parking up

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

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

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
