###Castle Coombe pics--LOTS###
Had a top day at Super Car day at castle ccombe, once i got there after hitting a load of traffic on the M4, Little Joe got us past it through the back lanes though
On my way in a noticed the overflow car Parks were full so i though a Blag would be in order
"Hello mate, have you got a pass please"
"No mate, a friend has it and i am on track in 20 minutes, i need to find him. Once i have found him i will pop over and show you the pass"
"Errrr.......UUmmmm.................OK, on your way"
Didnt even pay too, 3 of us in the car
Found a spot and dumped the 3DR and went for a look around.
Nice to See Lee again as i havent seen him since the dreaded Reyland Crash, Glad you are doing well mate
Felt sorry for Marco as all he had was Bad luck and i dont think he even got to take Mr Motivator out on track
Right, here is some pics, The show ones first















Now the Track pics

Whose the guy with the dreads. Looks familiar.
I can picture him waving his hands about in front of the jet car now.

I think it isnt the guy from fire force, I think he is the guy they called The Rarsta off of Top Gear, when they had a few different poeple driving on the track

Why didn't they just let them do a complete lap, that way everybody would have got a better look, and it would have been such a great opportunity to see some very nice cars performing at their best.
Instead, most were struggling with lots of stop-start low speed stuff that just didn't suit most of them..
This part of the day was a bit of a drag for me unfortunately, but there was plenty more that was great!
How mental was Daniel Sola in the Mitsi? !! 10 out of 10 for effort and enthusiasm, definitely highlight of the day for me.
Phil Collins was making good efforts with the Kingsley Beck Brooklyn 3dr too
here's a few of my pics.. (hope they aren't too big for most peeps, apologies if they are, it's late..)

well peeps
what a shit day for me right from the off
and it went bad to worse

we got there nice and early about 8.15 am ,i then took the car straight up for noise test and it passes 94 db @ 4500 good mongoose full of unbrunt fuel over the yrs (loads of carbon)
anyway i went to the canope to collect my track passes.....and my first session was at 9.40 am. shite
we then rusted to park the car park quickly empted the boot , started to take the rd wheels off to fit my race wheels with the slicks .....
got them all on and the fronts tyres were touching the front bumper , so i took the grill off then tryed to mover the bumper forward but wasn't looking too good at all
it was already on maxium adjust
so i thought Ahh !!! i can take the spiter of just to get 2 mm clearance, then re fitted bumper /grill , and thought i got abit of clearance so then drove to the pits to put the car on track turned the wheels and the bumper was hanging off
I thought shit 1st ession isn't happing
I then took the car back thought fook it , i'll put my rd whels back on the will have too do , re fitted the splitter back to the bumper
by this time i was getting close to my next session,but the track time was running late due to a pug that had a big off ,i mean i big off, total write off, which caught on fire , the impact was that hard it took the amaco out which they had to repair so evey one was behind about 2 hours or so
in the mean time i was in the que the car started to run on 3 cylinders for some reason and couldn't work out what was wrong with it ...
Steve Scott jump on me and scared the shite out of me didn't know what was going on
he said what wrong i said Steve "i don't know" it's only runing on 3 cylinders now and hasn't cleared...so fair play to him he said he i'll try and sorted it,
first thing we done was change the plugs ...still running on 3 , next thing we done was change the rotor arm , dizzy cap ...still running on 3, next thing we done , was to change the leads .....the was a place that we selling "twin core leads" ..i mean these leads would run your T.V ..and far better than the motorsport leads
the guy done me a deal because i was a kind of stuck.. fair play to him
and after all this the car still running on 3 cylinders i said fook it i have had enough
so i reversed the car and went back to park it up and watched a bit of track action
after a while.. i thought can't understand why it running 3 cylinders , anyway i went to the Tal stand and asked Mike has he got a volt tester , which he did have
so i then took the injector wire loom off and checked the voltage going to each injectors every one was working 12.45 volts each ....still scartching my head thinking was fooking wrong with this shed ... so i then tryed an other injector,
still runing on 3 cylinders
thats it i have had enough
.........fook it i'm getting the AA to get the car home ,so we pulled at srvice station just of the m5 and waited for the AA
we get a call saying yes we will be there for 7.45pm so we waited bu this time meet gav and his mate and we were gasing ....the phone rings again AA saying sorry we would be able to recover you untill 10 pm .......i said to Ish fook it i'm driving home now waiting for them Fookers anyway the car started to run on 4 cylinders on tickover i looked at Ish baffled WTF , but as soon as i moved the car i would go to 3 cylinders ..this is mad

so we drove the car home nice and steady ....stoping evey 15 mile sometimes the whole engine would just cut out
this is what it costed just to try and get out on track
fuel Ł90 , plugs and cap,arm Ł30 lead special discount Ł60
and still couldn't get out on track what a pisser
anyway i still enjoyed myself ...and i would like to thank all the people for helping me yesterday
Steve Scott, Mike, Simon, Ryan, Ish, Gav and his mate you know what with the Rs lads
are top notch with out these peeps i would have gave up and probaly beat the car up
BIG thankyou to you all
. sorry ib couldn't take you out on track
hopefully next time
