Default Bristol and Swindon RSOC Castle Coombe 2005

BIG UP TOYO PROXES R888s!!! They are awesome road legal cut slicks - well recommended for trackday fans - they transformed my car - pics before and after:





Wear out a little quickly, but well worth it

Just thought I'd say hi to all the peeps I met today (Sean Bicknell (Sam says thanks again for the high speed passenger ride), Eagle, Tiff Needell , SJoyce666, Dave Cos4x4 (RIP Escos ) etc etc)

Thanks to all at the Bristol and Swindon RSOC for putting on another belting show - Coombe is an ace venue - something for everyone with the track action, show and concours plus all the traders and club stands. Just a thought - it took me 90 mins to get signed on (and I was in the smallish que at 8.15am) and I got just 4 sessions on track despite being in the que for track all day (9.45am till 4.30pm ish.)

Can you please get more people to sign everyone in, or maybe post out signing in forms with track passes to cut down the lengthy process. Sound testing should have been done in the queing area like they do at the CCC Action days - I couldn't even get my mate to do that till I had signed on, wasting more time. I know you're volunteers doing all that work for our benefit ( ), but the delays really spoil an otherwise perfectly run day.

If anyone got any pics of my car can you PM them to me - apparently it was flaming a lot - hope someone got a pic of that??

My car was this one = flint grey Saph 4 x 4

My best lap time 1.24 - anyone else get any times for their cars?



And here's why the paint looks so bad now - anyone remember the Crealy mud (Devon Group show, blighted by heavy showers)?



That mud has gone, but the fertiliser/crap in it has eaten the laquer away everywhere you can see mud. Wonder what the hell they put down on that field.

Very sorry to see Dave's Escort crash out after entertaining everyone at Camp corner with his sideways driving style - he was fine afterwards, beer in hand and talking about possible future projects - watch this space!!!

Bugger I go on and on and on, so I'll wave bye

For anyone that missed it - be there next year!! Roll on Hampshire RSOC day next weekend, Ford Fair and National Day for more track action
