Into 2003 ...
The Group B club day at Castle Coombe (3rd year we've attended)
Temporary insert - 10 of the Best 2003 ... details to follow!?!
(HELP! Send me your pics/vids ... must be some as I counted 36 'R's in the public car park and there were 6 'R's entered !)
JAE ... 1st time this has been the Annual GTIROC club day after four years at Trax.
(It rained, on the Saturday - lucky for me I went on the Sunday ... !)
Bracknell - it rained, but nothing serious!
Japfest on a damp May day (vids are there now - and work!)
The Wesh Boyo's meet #2 (four years on from meet #1!) ...
Castle Coombe, April showers?
Santa Pod again ... this time the track was dry enough and with glue being added some very good times were possible.
From the look of things, we're getting a lot more sociable in the UK, thanks to the GTIR forum. There are already 4 "southern" meets planned for April 2003 alone! Here are some pics of the Pease Pottage mini meet in March 2003.

Trax '99 - the biggest gathering of GTI-R's outside Japan |
Trax '99 - 23 up! |
The GTIROC meet at Trax '99 was organised by Caleb Zuninio (we're not worthy, we're not worthy!) |
Also at Trax '99 was No 24, a custom painted green example with Godspeed brakes |
|
Trax '99 - number 24 showed a good all round finish |
Trax '99 - a close-up of those Godspeed brakes (cast iron calipers, painted gold) |
Trax '99 - number 25 was a DP motorsport example with a front mount. Excellent 0-60mph time only beaten by a 400bhp Skyline that did 60 in 1st gear! |

Carolyn - preparing to rearrange some bodywork in an enduro race in Australia |
Carolyn's bodywork - ouch! The team won the race, though. And at least hubby knows a good panel beater ... if you've seen what the car used to look like when it was bought from Japan. (In Files on the "gti-r" list at www.yahoogroups.com) |

The Welsh Boyo's meet 1999 ... |

Mike Whelan's car at Bruntingthorpe 2000 for a Max Power magazine photo call on a wet, cold, very cold day. |
This is James Jarvis' car. Four GTI-R's turned up to watch the shoot which also featured an Escort Cossie and a Scooby. Great fun, though, around a disused airfield:- JJ maxed out at over 160mph. |
|
Tramore, Co Waterford 2000 ... |
... RAIN, RAIN, RAIN. Now you know why it's called Co WATERford ... |
... still and all, at least ... |

VFM day - hmmm this one looks pretty standard from the outside. He's even got snow tyres on it. |
|
... until you start looking under the skin. What's this? Is Phil (Cavanagh) a welder, then? Or is a delivery of laughing gas to the local dentist? |
So that's where the braided hose goes. It's all a load of solenoids to me. |
more solenoids - but there's a very good reason for them ... |
Here's a clue ... wheelspin on the dyno run! Two volunteers required to keep the tyres connected to the rollers, please. |
|
Success! Two very large bodies (that's Phil, the owner, on the left) and a 5th gear run give ... over 300BHP |
|

|
The Revs track day - May 2000 >>> At around lunchtime everyone gathered for a group shot ... it was the first attempt at counting up how many cars had arrived - it started at 65. Then another 6 arrived. Then there were the four still in the car park. Well over SEVENTY!!!!!!!!! |
The Revs track day - May 2000 >>> "Get the black cars to fill the hill" - so we did! It took the guys from revs an hour to set up the massive group shot. |
