Awesome day.

Big thanks to Sticker Paul for taking me there, and Shorty, Kelv and Missus Kelv for the bundle of laughs all day long.

My first time at combe and it certainly wont be my last.

That might explain it crabbing everytime he put the power down - certainly looked a handful!

Think he had a spin in front of my brother and 1/2 spin / very late save when he was behind me so if it was RWD that's even better going

My sierra's first ever ford show, lol

Made it there and back, after not being fired up for 6 months so cant complain!

Had a bit of a misfire on the way up but a set of plugs from matt lewis (his last set apparently he'd sold 200 by lunchtime, lol) sorted that out and she's going ok now.

Even the weather wasnt too bad, overall I had a great day, was good to see Micheal (aka escosracer) escort there, really stunning car, few little tweaks needed still but thats going to be one hell of a car!

Thanks for the passenger lap Jim

That was by far the best session

Everyone giving it death, exactly as the cars should be used

My brother was in the Red Evo, you were tag teamed by us!

Very impressed with your RWD stuff, I thought it handled well enough as a 4*4, but for 2wd that was good going.

What sort of power are you running, apart from "A LOT"?

Its a mystery.

Anyway apart from that, it wasnt a bad day apart from me forgetting to bring my jacket.

Would also like to know how the driver of the white saff is after seeing it against the barrier on the hard shoulder of the M4, looked like a bad smack he had there front and rear
