Had great day last year so count me (and Jon) in. Paid last night. Hope your clutch is up to it this year buddy!! ;)

Only just realised my membership had expired - thought they sent email reminders out? Anywho - rectified now.

Only 10 places left

Hi Haroon.

Just had notification from my solicitors today that they've shifted my house move date back two weeks to guess-when!!! I know it's non-refundable so please give my ticket away to a deserving member.

Thoroughly racked off. I was looking forward to that.

Lawrence :suspect:

Sorry to hear about this Lawrence. I have allocated your ticket to a deserving cause :D Thanks for your generosity.

All paid up! Hopefully I can find my way from darkest Dorset in time for the start.

Glad to hear it. There's always next year... or the November Oulton Park meet :LOL:

Harry, I thought there were 22 places? :)

Is anyone staying overnight in a hotel for this? :sleep:

I'm thinking about it as I'll have a 2 hour drive so that means a very early start. It would be good to meet up in the bar the night before! :alcy:

:nono: I've seen you the morning after :D

I'm thinking about the Cock Inn.

What? It's in Bishops Stortford!

:roflmao: Ooo you are a card HDFG!

:surprised: You're a fine one to talk! I've seen photographic evidence! The words, slump, deck chair and pissed come to mind! :p :D

I am, but my journey time is triple yours.

Anyone recommend any near by hotels? Better still a postcode for this place?

Cheers

There's a Travelodge nearby which a few folk have stayed in on previous days. Click on the Google Maps Link and do a "search nearby". The link gives you most of the postcode, not that it's much help with Satnav as it'll take you to the wrong place. Just go to J7 of the M11 and follow the signs for North Weald Market. The entrance to the airfield is on Merlin Way.

Thanks, however i couldn't get onto s2ki today. I didn't want to leave it till last minute so I've already booked a hotel in old harlow? which is just over 15 minutes drive away think its called 'The Greenman Inn'.

Are there any nearby garages that sell 99ron stuff? (Either Tesco Momentum or Shell Vpower 99)?

Also what's the recommend tyre pressure, i run bridgestones re050's on the front (currently @32psi) and Hankook Evo on the back (currently at 34psi).

Looking forward to this, I'm just praying it doesn't rain.

676 miles for me (there and back)

Thanks

Bloody 'ell you're dedicated - 676 miles! :faint:

I'm hoping I will be able to pump my tyres up on site?

An air pump is available on site to borrow.

There is a Shell close by.

I'll be there :dance2:

If anyone has the payment link, please PM me, as I deleted it :(

Can't believe I'm finally going meet my arch nemesis, AJ!!!! :LOL:

Link PMd :)

I am going to be bringing a air compressor with me :)

I'll be staying in the Cock Inn...looks very nice :)

...and AJ...if you so much as make one comment about the choice of hotel and it's name, I swear I'll open up a can of whoop ass on you! :LOL:

Oh no loftust is making an appearance does anyone have any mace pepper spray? :LOL: :D

Missmuffet, I know been meaning to do it for ages nothing like this up narf.

You're too late Matt! If you look a few posts back Jon has already said he fancies The Cock Inn! :LOL:

So long as he hasn't packed his dressing gown, you should be alright.

If you see a 7' man approaching you in a 2' dressing gown, run..

:roflmao: :roflmao:

I've just read this out to Taaaaaania and she's pissing herself!

Are you two still twittering on about that? :rolleyes:

Of course, there's still plenty of mileage left in that old chestnut yet! :D

Chestnut! Buy a longer one next time, then they'll be no chance of seeing any chestnuts! :LOL:

Woohoo, I'm in!

Nearly missed this as I was away for a long weekend. Love these days and am a little bit addicted to them.... :rolleyes:

Now just need to decide whether to do it on my nearly finished Toyos and totally destroy them, or put on some brand new bridgestones first.
Think it would be best to just finish the existing ones, but if it rains... well, should be interesting with about 2mm left.

Can anyone tell me how north weald is from London?, was thinking of spending a little time there on monday, so i guess a train would be best? - I dont want to use the car.

Cheers

Hardly any distance at all AJ, train from Stanstead or Bishop's Stortford :)

:thumbup: ta.

Train from Harlow would make more sense https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/st...t/thumbsup.gif 30 mins to Liverpool Street.

Timetable here. http://www.nationalexpresseastanglia...e+16+-+web.pdf

Go to Liverpool Street for the City, or change at Tottenham Hale and take the Victoria Line to the West End. Quite a few Tube Lines closed that weekend, so check before travelling http://www.tfl.gov.uk/livetravelnews...r/default.aspx

:thumbup:

Thanks.

I take it a half hour journey on the train?

That's what the timetables I very helpfully linked indicatehttps://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/st...t/rolleyes.gif https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/st...efault/lol.gif

There are two No.16s in the list of attendees by the way!:)

Bugger, sorry LG didn't see them on my mobile phone.

Looks like the missus says she will be bored so she'll probably go into Essex now lol.

She can always stay and be bored with Wifey :)

She could alway have a go round the track, the ticket includes 2! :)

Looking forward to it ! Have booked a nice sunny day for the occasion. Just hope my clutch lasts, or it's an AA journey home! :feint:

She can please her self what she does, i was wanting some pics took :(

I hope it doesn't rain, i have a horrible feeling it will.

Trust me mate, there'll be a lot of photos taken, Wifey took around 1000 last time https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/st...ault/photo.gif We upload them to the S2KUK web site and they are free to download in all their hi-res glory https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/public/st...lt/biggrin.gif

4 PLACES LEFT - payment link below

I think that this has already been answered, but the max pressure is on the tyre sidewall - my Bridgestones max is 51 psi. I'll have a decent little Michelin cigarette-lighter pump that you can use.

Bumpity bumper

:bump:



:vtec: :burnrubr: :rev:

Just 4 places remaining folks! This will be the last S2K UK airfield day this year !!

If you did go in your car you could visit the Ace Cafe, it's about 50 minutes drive away according to google maps. I've always wanted to go there.

Whats this 'ace cafe' MM?

I'm no longer able to attend :cry:

:thumbdn: :cry: i will never meet my arch nemesis .

Hard lines Matt, i guess you and Bubba love each other so I'll let you off.

:cry:

That's a shame Matt

Put it into google. Its a cafe and lots of nice cars go there, some to pose others to look! :photo:

:thumbup: Thanks, praying that it will not rain :D

Me too, this is my first event like this and I want perfect conditions! :vtec:

You big girl's blouse....its a lot more fun in the rain. You really learn the limit of the car.

For drivers AND spectators alike, eh mate? :D

Just watch out for the "puddles" if you get wrong ;)

Getting excited! :rev: :burnrubr: :vtec:

Just looked at the five day weather forecast and its looking dry! :thumbup:

If you are approaching from the North down the A14, before you get to the M11, Cambridge Services is a Shell garage with V-Power

That'll be me then :tipwink: Thank you :thumbup:

There's also a Shell about 5 mins from the airfield

Cool thanks, no doubt around Cambridge i will probably need to fill up.

This is important info for all drivers; don't exceed 20 mph on the airfield when you first arrive. The airfield security boys are VERY strict about this. See y'all Sunday :)

Thanks Paul :thumbup:
