That is genuinely dirty though, you can see where DH has wiped the dirt of the windscreen off the top.
None of this "oh I haven't washed my car in a week and I drove through a puddle today so I must spend 4hrs washing and waxing it" for DH.
Clean the windows so you can see for driving, but that's it.

Nothing wrong with cleaning a car properly now and again, makes it go faster!  :grin:

Bloody doesn't.

What a day - the Golf performed with aplomb, as ever.

It just goes.  :cool:

The morning was normal-for-Combe, bucketing it down and disgusting, so I got four sessions in during the morning.  On my own, then with the Ballast, then Rhyso as shotgun, then with someone whose name escapes me (sorry, I'm old), then with DannyP and finally with Mrs Hell.

Not sure what was happening during the morning, but I kept seeing a lot of the side of other people's cars on track.  Some of them looked quite confused.  :huh:

Just processing the footage of those spinning in front of me.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Not entirely sure.  Looked to have ditch-finder tyres on it and wanted to rotate as soon as it was out on track - span twice in front of me.

There were a couple of incompetents in Golf1s, I think both were loitering on the ClubGTI stand.

Oh dear.... Well I remember some time ago you asked me in my thread what the intentions were for mine..  I simply wanted the car back on the road but hinted that I wanted to take it on the track......... eventually. I think if I don't it would be a waste. It's really not up to it at the moment but I'll tell you this now, I intend to rebuild the motor to it's former glory over the winter and maybe, just maybe i'll see if it's up for it next year!

Will probably go to an RR meet soon in it's current state to see how many horses have turned to dog food, then again when I've completed engine works.  Then I'll see if it's worth it.  :lipsrsealed:  :grin:
