We were a bit short-sighted when we only ordered Z Club 'Directors Chairs' we should have bought some 'Sun Loungers' too.

When was that? Have the people in T Shirts and shorts been photoshopped on?You think I'm joking about the sun don't you, have a look at this:

Sun-loungers?
Z Club logo'd wet suits and wind-breaks, they would be by far the best sellers at Donington
Yes we have had very hot days I've had to use a cap to stop the sun burning my bald head.
Yes, I'll bring the crank - not sure which day so you'd be wise booking both (ha ha).
How dare you post stuff like this?

Don't scupper Rob's attempt at trying to get the troops together
selling a fine vision of girls walking round in bikinis, sunloungers and the whiff of Ambre Solaire in the air.Actually I do remember it was nice one year now, it would have been 2018, year of that photo (which I just noticed I am on
). That was the year that on the way there (on that quiet private road/track) I maxxed out around 120ish in the ZX Turbo, you slowly edged past me and Dave must have been doing close to 150 in his Turbo Nutter bastard 600bhp 240Z as he blitzed off after a Porsche.

It was a somewhat freak occurrence. Especially as I seem to recall I got vicious sunburn the following day!How dare you post stuff like this?
It's the last weekend in April is the core point I was making - totally unpredictable in English weather terms!

That was a good run! You looked very comfortable cruising at 120 as I went by (I chickened out around 130-135). Dave was well ahead for a couple of mins!Yeah, come on Rich!

The speedo and needle stops at 80mph on the ZX Turbo - unbelievable but true, good old Yankee conservatism for you!
I was only guessing at 120 based on how bent the needle was
John, are you booked in for Donington?
This car was so quick!

With all the poxy speed cameras and 50mph zones its very difficult to do more than 70mph on the way to Donny!! Plod doesn't get you, its the anonymous big brother in the control centre

2018 was awfully hot, having no AC and the ability to fume myself out if I opened the window meant the drive home was one of the worst driving experiences of my life.
I haven't got tickets for this yet, but it appears I might be able to go - I believe the cut-off is 16th of Apr to make a decision?
