After missing last year (and the year before? Can't remember, might have been there) I feel an appearance may be required.

If only to demonstrate to Chuff/Stink the progress the silver shed has made in the past couple of years....

Hopefully I'll be attending this year, I couldn't make it last year due to Mickey Mouse requiring my attention for a fortnight, I really like this event. Much more laid back than Inters.
As I had to miss Inters again thanks to the Missus' birthday I've told her not to make any plans for July 16th!
I'm only going to be spectating and walking around looking knackered though, no tack action planned. I've got to work a 12 hour nightshift before I drive up to Combe so will be too knackered for on track driving. Plus it used to be £80 when I used to come up in my mate's old track ready Audi and now it's a lot dearer than that. We used to get lapped by the quick stuff (after the first lap  :laugh: ) but it was always fun!

Looking at the weather forecast I'd recommend something reasonably weatherproof.  :rolleyes:

Golf prepped a bit more.  First time out in a long time, so we'll just have to see how things go.  :smiley:

Just got back, weather was bad at the start but soon cleared.

It was quite interesting watching all the different MK's on the track at the same time.  Even more interesting seeing a MK1 leaving the Milltek Golf R for dust around the track  :shocked:

Arrived, rushed to the bog, sheltered from the rain for a while and ate a bacon sarnie. By the time it was dry enough to leave the school canteen facility everyone seemed to have dispersed!
Anyway, nice cars on the stand & Wayne's new wheels look cool.

Track action was excellent, company was even better and now I'm very tiiiiiired.

Only slight downside was the weather put a lot of people off coming but quality beats quantity every time  :smiley:

Good day out. Shame it rained at the start but the sun did make an appearance. Mind you it did make for some good track spinage when out in the Syncro of Diamond Hell's. Thank you to all who turned up. Especially Rhyso for tweaking my car and DH for taking me out for a few laps, brilliant driving I must say.
