Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - Lexusboy - 04-04-2019 BOOSST Thats very true, but sometimes these things happen and he stopped as we all would have when that sound came from his bonnett, Once he had stopped , he couldn't have jumped back in to drive it to a safe area. I agree with what you were saying here Boost only problem was most of the other that arrived before us left and went out to different parts of the track before we could arrange the movement of cars better. Would of been good to go to the none members club car park and dropped of club flyers. Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - DaveEdin - 04-04-2019 You shoulda got some invitations to hand out in your Outlaw membership pack, matey ![]() I keep them in the glovebox, and if I see a deserving motor, I leave one on the windscreen... But you could fire up a few hundred business cards for a couple of quid with the club logo, web address etc on it and hand those out as well, or even flyers? On the subject of cars and safety... might be worth keeping an extinguisher or two handy by the stand? Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - Phil01 - 04-04-2019 I have 2x1kg hand held dry powder extinguishers at home doing nothing, these are AA approved and issued, both are fully charged and just been re-checked for operation for use for when I am at work. Gladly donate to the club if you feel they could be put to good use Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - BOOSST - 04-04-2019 DaveEdin You shoulda got some invitations to hand out in your Outlaw membership pack, matey I did indeed get those fliers and have handed a couple out to encourage a few to join. I think since I have joined i have got a few to join as well, only one other who has become an Outlaw in full though.. but, we all do what we can Regards the extinguishers, I would like to say, one or two, perhaps, but.... it took 14 to stop that Skyline from going up completely :blink: Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - FirebirdPhil - 04-04-2019 Phil01 I have 2x1kg hand held dry powder extinguishers at home doing nothing, these are AA approved and issued, both are fully charged and just been re-checked for operation for use for when I am at work. They last approx 15 seconds if your lucky. OK if you catch a fire VERY quickly no good for under bonnet things.. I will have 2 full size ones coming off hire fairly soon (4 weeks??), club can have them if someone collects. Oh 2 small 1kg ones also. Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - purplewitch - 04-04-2019 [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]I didn't mean his stopping was wrong .. I admit I had a car burst into flames around me once and I just froze. I only meant if he knew there was oil he should have cleaned up and didn't for the sake of his track fee, that particular action could have cost us all. Tis a risk at any time though and not just at an event, I don't pop my bonnet every single time I drive so could have the same risk. (Eeeeks, now I have freaked myself out!) There are usually a few fire extinguishers on site when the Outlaws are at an event, the problem is that if we leave them out they will get nicked and this show like most of the ones we go to, has a lot of other activities people want to do so the stand isn't always occupied. The flyering thing is one to be careful about each event has different rules and there was a clause in their conditions that says unapproved flyering is not acceptable. There's some great ideas I've seen kicking about for what we should aim for including flyers and a photoboard of all our club cars and some excerts from the forum so people can see how funny and clever our members are, something that does bring us together so everyone can meet everyone.. the difficulty is the usual .. time, cost and the practicality of getting all this stuff to the show as not many of us drive 'practical' cars lol [/COLOR] Japfest 14th May 2011 Picture thread - P.Lindblom - 04-04-2019 parthiban Btw, what is this?That's a slovakian car called K1 Attack Roadster.
