Reflecting on the event yesterday and thought I'd quickly sum up what a great day it was for the club As always its great to see a good turnout from the members each year and particularly yesterday I thought it was the best event at Curborough we have done as a club. The weather also being kind for the third consecutive year, which as with any event plays a big part on the success of the day The cars attending were all well presented as always with proud members all too willing to show other members and the many guests around with enthusiasm for the marque. True enthusiasts and exactly how we as a club like to operate,so well done for all the effort put in to make them look the part on the day. Car of the show was won by Phil @xxgomxx for his stunning Type R judged by the 2014 & 2015 winner @salsa-king . Quite a tough decision looking at the cars on show. Hopefully Phil @xxgomxx will be happy to judge next years event Big thanks also goes out to Lucy & Craig @oscarcat2011 for sorting out the gate and being excellent at meeting and greeting people as they entered the venue. That job is hard work on its own, especially in the hot weather and for the members that helped set up the place in the morning and help clear away in the evening @hughy @Essbon @SteveT63 etc etc etc Its really important that a good impression is left for Shenstone and disctrict motor club that allow us to hire a much sort after weekend date year on year. Great that the photographers turned up in mass to record the day, so thanks goes out to all of them @padgo @salsa-king @Chris (videos) @mikescooby (drone footage). I've probably missed some out, so thanks to anyone else that's posted. Its great to be able to keep such good memories. It was good to see that all who booked the track package represented the club ensuring that the track behaviour was spot on all day and respected any decision the environmental health sound officer from the MSA made on the day. Everyone managed to pass the noise limit, the odd one with the help of a bung (not a money bung either !) ! Lastly thanks to all the members that cam along to support the event along with our colleagues from type-ra and Charnwood Scoobies spot on As always things will bubble away in the background and looking forward to the 2017 event already. Watch this space for more information later in the year. As always it will be posted first in the club supporters section of the forum and later onto the open forum and Facebook once everything is finalised As always, any feedback that can improve the event further, then please let us know Many Thanks Steve & Andy

a very small number of cars at the Sprint track today, a closed tracked not open to spectators or the public due to Covid.... you know the rest. Here a load of pix I took this morning. Up till Lunch. I think I got most cars. Click the photo to view all of them.

Here’s @type-ra cutting grass to The Dukes of hazard

Thanks to everyone who attended the event and for the generosity shown. The hospital staff were overwhelmed with the gifts Look out for pictures on their Facebook pages. I'll link them when I see them post A worthwhile cause and certainly looking forward to doing similar again in the future Thanks Steve & Andy

Great to see that we made it into The Derby Evening Telegraph. Well done all

All set up I stand

Had a great day taking pictures of the day and the weather was great for it, I have still pictures and took some snap shots off the video's. Video wise that will be a couple of weeks to put it together as it takes abit of time up in the evenings but will be done. http://s841.photobucket.com/user/mikescooby/library/M-SOC Anniversary Event-17-7-2016 Curborough these two photo's on here don't look as sharp as they are on photobucket. just pointing out. hope you like, it was an experience following something fast this time than following slow moving farm machinery as I had to make the controls more responsive to keep up with you lot on there lol. quite easily got used to the small space their was when just flying low and working the controls a lot and thinking also were the drone is flying and using the track and grass as a indication of were it is and doing that by just looking on my tablet.

I like learning grammar and how to spell and punctuate properly. It's really quite rewarding and gives me a sense of achievement.

Early start again this morning at Silverstone for TRAX

Just so that everyone is aware, Lucy @oscarcat2011 has agreed to become events coordinator for the club. Excellent news as Lucy is a keen enthusiast of the marque and has been a member for a while. M-SOC being the first club she joined after buying her current car. The new position will give support to myself and Andy running the events for the club, which believe it or not do take up a lot of personal time ! I will continue to run some of the larger events, such as Rally day and our own yearly event at Curborough along with others, but Lucy will help support all of the events. I hope everyone will congratulate Lucy in her new role for the club. As always, if anyone wants to be involved in helping to run events for the club, then please let me or Andy know. All help is appreciated and we recognise all the efforts our club members put in to making the club a success. Thoughts on new events that maybe of interest to our members are also welcome Thanks Steve

Myself, @forest4everand @scatty took the track clios/exige to Cadwell this weekend, we were also joined by @BatmanSti in his sweet hatch. This was my first time at Cadwell and the maiden voyage for the little Clio Had an amazing day, great weather, good company and lots of nice cars on track. All cars did brilliant, no problems apart from losing a wheel trim and the marshal bringing it back to me! Think Batman was struggling with brakes at times as the circuit is very demanding. Must invest in a better camera mount as it fell off mid lap on one lap Pity the Porsches kept slowing us down but hey, Porsche drivers for you....

What a great day, big thanks to Steve and all the organisers, must have been a record turnout for M-SOC. More photos to follow....

As you can see the Forum has had its software upgraded please bear with me whilst I sort out the format etc I will work on this as quickly as I can but i do have a full time job so may take a few days Regards Andy

If you like motorbikes your not classed as a true petrol head- just an organ donor

Some might recognise it 😎 Picked up at Curborough on Saturday and cleaned within an inch of its life. Couple of small stone chips addressed, apart from that, not a mark on her. Looking forward to moderately putting some miles on her. Glad to be back in a twin scroll.

The new owner made contact with me last August and I only found there message last week, looks like its down in Oxford and owned by a lady car enthusiast. Its had a few mods already, keep a look out her.

Another good turn out and a lovely hot day again, here are some of my photos.

@Adybaby @Gemlp82 @king_brilliant @EJLAD05 @scoobyspud @chrisp77 Thanks for coming all

brilliant day, really enjoyed it. Loved going round in Steve's car and Bonny's too, also got to drive Paul's lovely Spec- C Yellow Hatch and also him take me out with him driving it how it should be driven. all my 115 pix are here, just a quick edit with no cropping other than a few of my car at the end. If there's anyone who wants a.. printed, mounted on a 400x500 mount board with bevelled cut edges and then framed up (£25)... I'll do a full edit of the photo Click the link.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/neoquip/albums/72157695918705912 A few good ones are here for now ... Love Chris' face on this one.. Cool as a cucumber @Ted Ed Thanks for looking

First track outing for the Spec C today at Donnington with @forest4ever in his Clio. The day started very slippery and gave me no confidence in the car at all, the back end was very twitchy with the semi slicks and the fact I was backing off didnt help. After a tweak with tyre pressure and stiffening suspension the track dried and we managed some good times in the afternoon with a passenger. I started to feel connected more to the rear end which likes to squerm a bit, but with a bit of right foot it soon kicks it back into shape. Little power steering issue towards the end of the day so need to get the belts or tensioners checked over, apart from that run faultless. 120 odd milesm 70 odd quids worth of petrol and more importantly kept it on the balc stuff. 27313191_2308123059213708_2232566920068988928_n.mp4 27313191_2308123059213708_2232566920068988928_n.mp4

Hi, know exactly how you feel, lost many of our companions over the years, and always said "never again" but we now have two cocker spaniels, "Elle" and "Lenny", a Lab who comes to work with me every day, "Wilf" and 3 cats, lining ourselves up for plenty future upset there again, As the saying goes, "better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all", just never feels that way at the time.... Chin up fella, try to think of all the good times... You have my deepest sympathy Cheers Kev

Yes I got video of everyone (I think) just takes time to stitch the clips together in a half interesting way, create one big video and then the uploading takes 10 years on my awful internet. So more to come either way

Loads better and much more up to date.. Any money left over we could have a whip round for some turf for Andy..

Firstly, belated Xmas and New Years wishes to you all! As some of you will have noticed, I haven't been around in 2013 as much as I have been the last few years. Between moving away, new baby, new job and losing heart and interest in all things Subaru I've neglected my post a bit. However, I'm slowly getting it all together again and am looking forward to 2014 as Events Organiser with the club and getting involved again and seeing everyone. I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome Forest to the staff and I hope between us we can make a full calendar of events on and off the track for this year. Easter Eggs and Teddy Bears. For those new to the club, we first ran our Easter Charity event in 2012 when we delivered cash raised, gifts of Eggs and presents and smiles to the Children's Hospital at Derby Hospital. 2013 saw the convoy return, with a few more cars and a lot more eggs. This year I'd to see if we can make even bigger and better. So, any ideas gratefully received. I look forward to seeing you all at this years meets and catching up with old faces and new. Let's make 2014 another great MS year! Dan
