Very well run days with zero messing. If you're thinking about tracking your mr2 this is the crowd to do it with!

This looks good to us, anyone else thinking of going?

Im going if my car is feeling healthy closer to the date.
I hope it will be dry.

Paid for this last week, getting car ready now. Bucket seats bolted in, alternator out for check / replacement. Misfire to be sorted out yet, waiting for second hgand rally tyres and waiting for Carbons Lorraine pads to arrive. Gotta go on the highland run in the meantime.

I found out there was only 10 places left so paid for mine today leaving 9 places.
Im just gonna put some fresh oil and filter into mine, should be enough
Who else is going to this???

We are planning on it, have not booked anything yet though as still a few niggles to sort out this week.

It's best to contact them through Facebook John, as your supposed to have 150 posts on backroads.ie in order to be allowed attend one of these days.

I'm going aswell! Defo this time, had to drop out of the last one after I messed my ankle up so dying for the 1st of May now

Will do mate, cheers.

I only have about 2 posts on backroads.ie and ive already been to a few OTD's...
So i dont think 150 posts are required.

Yeah you're right but there's a bit of a club mentality with them, they're a completely private day which are run extremely efficiently which always end up fully booked given their popularity.

I wont make this one ... Financial Controller said NO

Get her flowers and chocolate and ask her when she's in a good mood.

Good news that may have worked ... I got a MAYBE ... Thats pretty close to a Yes

Weejohn and myself booked in. First go on mondello. Looking forward to it, hopefully be a few mr2s there.

Not gonna make this myself unfortunately. I'm gonna tax her from June instead, at least get her on the road for a while this year.

Your going to do what now ??

What is this you speak of ...LOL

Booked in and really looking forward to it, see you there lads!

Nice One.

Sooo... fitted a new clutch today, nothing like leaving things to the last minute lol.

We will be on the road from 5.30 tomorrow morning, trying to miss the Friday morning rush hour traffic on the M50. Hopefully see you all there about 9, really looking forward to it!

Its all fun and games till someone loses a bumper

Ouch, how'd that happen?

we had a great day at mondello in the mk2 na. certainly a steep learning curve , quite a technical circuit. good to see some turbos out on track too.

thought we were getting somewhere when top end of our engine got some sort of death rattle and power went off. some great runs in rays 22z roadster made up for it, thanks a lot ray. plans are being hatched.....

Great day even though we ended up with the car back on the trailer early. Good to meet you Spla, Murphy, Japohara, Ray, Colin and the lad with the white 2 tubby, sorry never got your name! Brief encounters but good ones all the same.

Have nothing but praise for Octane track days and Mondello circuit, both lived up to everyones reports and I am sure it wont be our last day there.

May be the last time in our car, another project is probably going to take the MK2`s place but we will stay with Toyota!

Was an awesome day great to meet more mr2 members.
one video uploaded the other keeps getting stuck at processing...
I crashed trying to keep up with Ray

Few pics, the rest are on this website: public.fotki.com/speedy/2015-events/otd23/

Sorry SPLA

Here is one for Weejohn and Tedtiler, before she started a knocking. Its a new trend this 3 wheel thing, you seen it here first.

Looks like a lot of MR2s out there today! Going to a track day today wasn't possible but I'm definitely hoping to go to either Mondello or Kirkistown during the summer...
