Meant to be on track at 10am and 12noon, but my car isnt quite ready, so if anyone fancies taking me for a passenger ride at those times let me know and you can use my tickets

I'll be there with my Evo - got 10.15, 12.15 and 2.45 at the moment.

Phill2400 and Andy with the LotusTT will be on at the same time.

If anyone wants a ride, pop over and say hello and wave a track pass my way and Bob's your mother's brother....

Good day, quieter than most action days but good fun all the same.

SiB and Phil looked to be going well,, on track with a black escort, maybe the Oddkid one?

Had a good day blasted the crap out of the car on each run.. Sadly I lost some gears on the last run so had to sell my last pass..

Once home turned out to be some dodgy quick shift I bought It had split at the UJ joint on the linkage...


Had fun tho

That Oddkid XR3 was shifting! Antilag sounded good from up his exhaust too!

He was doing a few, erm, iffy moves though - like overtaking a White Scoob while in the chicane!!! Was fun following him and fair play he let us passed cleanly too, thanks matey! Lots of smoke off the tyres in I'd guess 3rd gear - must have some good horsepower!

Evo was faultless all day, so pleased with it

Fuckin awesome day i had out on track in rsdaz's car

So much for the "i'm takin it easy for the first few laps" Car was getting a lot of looks from people walking by, and a good few people came over to ask what the car had done to it, the general view seemed to be it was going round pretty quick for an RS2000

And who saw me wearin the old "Mr Floppy T Shirt" LOL

Our pleasure matey - really pleasant for me to have a car that works well enough to take people out and not be towed back in!

Glad you enjoyed

Ill quote the camera man who spends hundreds of hours a year at Combe

'He won the award for 'most talked about car' during the morning at Quarry, they were all loving the 3-wheel action and the speed he carried over Avon Rise into Quarry was insane, a good 20mph quicker than anyone else. Took massive chunks out of the uber-rapid M3 in the corners, obviously got destroyed on the straights though.'

I was quite pleased by that. Deffo be fun to run at the same time

As for more pics, his work is stunning;

Me thinks Christian needs to stick to photography

No doubt you're a nut case/good driver and the car is ideal for the job - and damn that's a cool photo but really

Guess it was you I saw at the circuit - I was heading out on to track and tried beeping, but my jap crap horn wasn't loud enough for you to hear or react! R888s working well then?

Found the Eurofest folder - 60 miles on track, over a 45 min period, and he got no shots of my car, 1 of my lodger's Cossie and none of our friend's Lotus TT?

Damn it!

Wish I caught up with the photo guy in the Tavern but we left early so didn't see his stuff...

Was a wicked day out and big thanks to Neil(Fast Ford) and to Jano and boys for the BBQ. Ended up staying there till 6 pm - Best day out this year..

The last session was wicked lasted over 28 minutes in total possibly would have been longer but some german track warrior in a z3 had a slight spin and rolled into the in-field and parked his car upside down.

I believe he and passenger were ok but were took of in ambulance for check over.
