Hayman is going to be cycling from edinburgh to Somerset at the time!! :shocked:
-
Blimey, brave man. My mate Fay is tracking her VR6 Corrado as well so they'll be a nice little group of us.
If you're not working tomorrow (or today depending on when you read this) there's a trackday at Combe tomorrow and there's spaces left due to people pulling out. Check out the thread in the trackday section.
Nick

Hey! Lol, I was taught by him so he should have confidence!

No worries mate, I was just a bit confused for about 5 mins. :grin:
nick

I *really* want to make this as it's normally a corking day out, but budget is a *little* toight at the moment, so we'll have to see.
If I do make it I'll be on six sessions. As such there should be four passenger spaces available in the shonky silver Syncro through the day.

'kin 'ell. No pressure then.

That's harsh. I don't think any of us want to see a Kells cry, now do we. :grin:
-
Im worried i may have to join alan in the stands - lack of money to tax the golf, let alone laps :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
epic trek though
Yes, but anywhere worth going is an epic trek from sodding Norfolk.
-

Not been to Combe before have you? You'll be looking for quite a while for a stand although there's some very comfortable grass banking. :grin:
Cheryl: Boooo that sucks. Take the Polo round!
Nick
-
how much is it to track :shocked: :laugh: :lipsrsealed:
looking at those transporters last year - and the clueless f**k*r in the spinning mk5 :evil: the urge is strong
-
£30 per 15 minute session I think.
*notes Chuff struggling to resist The Urge*
-
might have to raise the barge up a bit first :rolleyes:
-
£40 a session or £95 for 3 morning sessions, £95 for 3 afternoon sessions or £171 for 6 split 50:50 between AM and PM.

Poor little polo, the gearbox would die a horrible death, I can see it now....
:laugh:
-
Nah, not been before as you can clearly see Nick :D
I cant be putting the MK5 around the track, spent too much getting her back on the road just to thrash her round a track. Im guessing there is spectator "spots" . . . ?
-
You can walk the whole way round the track, Alan. Most of the way is elevated, too. You might want to stop at Quarry for a while - good vulturing spot. :grin:
-
epic trek though
Yes, but anywhere worth going is an epic trek from sodding Norfolk.
Valid point :grin:

need to be getting into Combe at 9am
last year we met at the Esso garage at approx 8.30am so I could hand out the stand passes :smiley:
Got the form to fill in now so if you want a club pass let me know ASAP. I'll most likely ask for 25 so gives people time to think about it :smiley:
-
8:30, cool /wince at the early start
Me please Rhyso :)

Nick
-
Are you going to the Silverstone event?
You should, although you'd need to make sure your wiper blades were in good nick?
Bound to be able to face down an ST or two and the seat of their pants.
-
Sweet, whats the situation with how to pay for tickets etc?

Mark looked into it and we were both interested until he discovered there's 45 cars on track on each session. It might be the GP circuit but that sounds a little to crowded for our tastes, especially as they'll be plenty of nobbers in knackered old fiestas who don't give a monkeys.

Meet at the Esso station as per a couple of pages back, I dish out your stand ticket and then you pay the entry fee on the gate :smiley:

Nick
main reason was i didn't particularly trust the seller, something about buying all the tickets for 2 sessions 'for his mates' and having spares, but wouldn't tell me which sessions he had for sale.
plus you had to pay for entry to the show on top, would have been good to have a go on the new gp layout though, i can't see full days being cheap!

So.... trackday insurance is coming out as £140 for the day. Does that sound about right?

:shocked:
-
They probably know im a c0ck :grin: :grin:
-
Depends what that covers. I get cover for £40 a day and that uses my standard insurance but with double the excess. Only problem is they don't cover Combe as claims costs from there are more than from all the other UK circuits added together.
Nick
-
I dont think its viable anyway really. £140 before Ive even thought about costs for the day itself. As the missus would say "that would carpet the lounge" :rolleyes:
-
You can run without insurance. At the end of the day on a trackday you shouldn't get close enough to hit anyone. The problem with Combe is there are no gravel traps. It's circuit, a bit of slippery grass then wall. It's a bit frightening when braking from 110mph!!!

I'm looking at Camping the night before and have emalied to find out the score. They don't mention it but Combe normally allow camping in the car park the night before events.
Anyone else interested in camping it up?
Nick

ooooooooooo, a few beers and a BBQ :laugh:

ooooooooooo, a few beers and a BBQ :laugh:

Also Nick I'd give them a ring as they never replied to my email asking for a club stand so in the end I rang them
-
No beers for me, need to have a level head for the next day!
Cheers Rhyso, I'll give em a buzz. I think I might drop Mary at Combe a line as well and see if I can sweet talk her into letting us camp.

Bet a part of you still miss's the golf though :smiley:
-
Can't do this I'm afraid - £90 day return on the ferry, plus £170 of track, plus £50-70 of super unleaded on the track, plus 220 miles at 30MPG diesel make for a seriously tasty day out. I'd love to be there, but I simply can't stretch to it at the moment.
-
oh well thomas - but understandable - should have stayed in bristol :tongue:
-
should have stayed in bristol
If I could have, I would have.
If it wasn't the week the kids finish school the ferry would be about half that price. :sad:
I have organised interesting alternative entertainment down here, mind.....
-
That's a shame bud. Hopefully we can hook up for a day later int he year.
Mark fell for Combe a bit the other week and he's interested in doing a day there later in the year which I'm hoping to do as well.

We are meeting at an Esso for Rhyso to hand out the passes. Get there for 8:30.

Or most likely for Spady (so long as he isn't late) be at Gordano for 8am.

I wouldn't let Nick lead the way if you want to keep hold of your freshly returned license :lipsrsealed:

I wouldn't let him lead either, it would just be embarrassing, told him he should have got the remap done :D

I cant make my mind up on these (too much carbon as I already have the front grille . .. dont want to go OTT with it) and the fact I need to get new disks and pads all round next pay day means I shouldn't really be spending money on silly things I dont actually need lol.

Anyone want some Halfords Pro screwdrivers? Got this set:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_180958_langId_-1_categoryId_165572
Which anyone can have for £10. I got them free with my Oil today but as this is the third oil change I've done this year this is the third set of screwdrivers I've got and I just don't need them. I still have another set in the cupboard in the wrappers and a set in my toolbox.
Nick
-
Ill have them :wink:

Sold to Steve!
I should be running the car off the clubstand tomorrow so just give me a poke with a tenner and I'll hand them over!

Cracking day out :cool:

Big thanks to Nick for the passenger ride - really enjoyed that :afro:
Big thanks to those who turned up and made it a great day out :cool:

Some website called ultimate car tuning.tv.uk or something like that :undecided: Apparently it will be shown on Dave in the Autumn. Program is about 30 minutes long and covers the recent Japfest and today and interviews several people about what they've done, then you see it being driven around the track by the presenter
:smiley:
Found some info on it
An Ultimate Car Tuning TV crew will be attending to film some footage for what is promised to be a "full throttle experience for real tuning junkies"! To be aired later on Sky TV! Finally, a TV show for real car enthusiasts!
-
and they used a fooking diesel :rolleyes:
he didnt have the balls to go out in a Wagon thou :lipsrsealed:
-
cheers for a cracking day peeps!
-
Awesome day despite the Golf being a sh!t. Really enjoyed catching up with everyone and seeing Nick's face after his first taste of track driving.
A big shout to Chuff who stored my tools in the wagon all day, helped with changing wheels and followed me part of the way home. A diamond geezer if ever there was one.
Nick
-
I went yesterday and thought it was a let down, hardly any trade stands at all and not even close to some of the days I've been to this year :sad: :cry:
-
I think you really need to be with a group of mates to enjoy this show unless like me you like wandering a circuit on your own getting photos of cars on track.
Nick
-
had a really good day but it did seem to be a bit quiet compared to previous years but had a good wander round, by myself ' we will meet you at quarry' yeah course you will! hahaha but some good action gutted i missed the wally slam the r36!

I wasn't there - sorry if it was a let down. :grin:

I didnt go on my own but compared to the other days I've been to this year it was pretty grim and poorly supported , good job it was only £7 :grin:
-
I think its less of a "show" than most of the others. Its an action day, aimed mainly at the trck aspect of things. Plus most traders would have been at bugjam this weekend :undecided:
-
It was a great day, not as busy as last year, possibly due to the absence of DH :grin: but still some nice cars and the forum members who went made it good fun.
LOL @ jeynesy trying to get me to convince him to go out on the track for the best part of an hour.

You have that one of my car on the track? :tongue:

Bit of a manic week that. This is the first time I've had a decent chance to get back to my PC. In the process of uploading my photos so will post them in the photography section later tonight.
Cracking day and always nice to see everyone again (and be in my own car) :cool:

I very much enjoyed CC this year. Shame it wasn't as busy as last year, but maybe that is due to the lack of presence from DH.

BOOM!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:
Definitely gotta do this one again next year! Is CC always the same price?
-
How much was it to go on track?
-
£40 for 15 minutes I think. Not particularly cheap tbh.
-
Or £170 for six sessions.
Not super cheap, but there's far more people there to show off make a complete tit of yourself in front of than at a 'normal' track day. :grin:
Watch this.
CRUMP
etc

Anyone got any photos of the crumped R36?

I think Shady got one of it in the pits. The guy was an accident waiting to happen all day. All over the place, massive understeer on full throttle all the way round Quarry going out really wide.
I don't know who he was but he had plenty of stickers for other circuits in the rear window. Maybe his hobby is collecting tyre wall scars?
