Castl Combe Track Day 24th April 2004

[Simon]

Bonsai Boy and me (good grammar) went to castle combe and had some fun!

[Simon]

fun fun fun

[Brind]

I'll be the first to say it... what's with the Nova?

[Spirit]

Some great pics mate ;)

[Simon]

i was ment to type a description by the side of each pic :$

one pic of me and graham, us and a ferrari, a sierra on the grass, another sierra minutes later wishing he had AYC ....., one of my tyres bobbling just a little bit!

my co-pilot with the MG was filming and we were cutting through the croud very well...so instead of filming the track we filmed some cars as we went by.....but what upset people was me co-pilot would wave as we went by :$ :evil2:

the pictures are lifted from my video tape...will see if theres anything more interesting!

***we did try and go inbetween the sierra and peugot but couldnt fold my mirrors in in-time ;)

[SGHOM]

great pic's Simon !! looks vey narrow castle coombe ??? how on earth are you going to get past me ???

[Simon]

ill go very slow and let you come up behind me .....so to speak :$

[Spirit]

Derek, you are assuming you will get to the front ? lol

[Kieran]

/Dick Dastardly mode :devil5:

I'm gonna get there early and polish the track! Mirror finish and everything!

Then see if your AYC can help you! Mwahahahahahhah!!!! :-D

[SGHOM]

Derek, you are assuming you will get to the front ? lol
I was assuming, as in formula racing, the quickest/most powerful, get pole position ??
333 bhp !! :-D anyone better that ??? .............. no ?? .............. I rest my case !! :-b :-b :-D :-D

[Spirit]

Never assume anything my friend......it's often a big mistake !

As organiser of Japfest I get to pick the order and you can start in the pit lane muhahahahaha :-D :-D :-D

The other difference between this and F1 is that the driver will make more of a difference than the car - we will see on the day ;)

Also, dare I say it......age and alcohol intake may be an influence hahahahahahaha

[SGHOM]

fair enough Pete !! I guess it's all down to performance & driving skill then ?? I'm quite happy to start from wherever on the grid. I'm sure if Dave's car is running ok, & I know mine is at the moment, we'll be quite happy to wait for you at the end of the session !! :-b :D :D

[Spirit]

I just hope you dont live to regret your taunts at fellow club members - and I can see a book being run on the day.... ;) :D

To be honest, with such a tight track and the restrictions they have on overtaking areas it would not surprise me if hardly anyone gets overtaken

[Simon]

yet more!

ones a golf that went way off track....so....we had to wave as we went by! :$

competition....can you see Bonsai Boy in the crowd.....he's the one with the club vr4 t-shirt on

[Spirit]

Thats cool, I will do my best to avoid you both anyway.....just in case Dave selects reverse when I am in his slipstream and just in case you try to kerb my wheels in a James Bond like fashion to get them to look like yours ! :-D

:lolz:

Miaow! All of you can keep away from my mirror finish!............


Oh yeah..... Given my current power rating that's a given I guess! :$

[SGHOM]

you'll know where I am on the track !!! you can follow my oil slick !!

with limited knowledge of you all, I will start the book !!

evens / Simon. [ local knowledge ]
2/1 Pete. [ recent knowledge ]
4/1 Dave. [ doesn't like corners ]
1/6 Me !! [ most powerful car, & bottle ]
100/1 Kieran. [ says it all really !! ]

[Spirit]

You lot had better hope you are on form! Anyone who finishes behind me won't hear the last of it! Mwahahah! :devil5:

[bonsai boy]

333 bhp ? dont think that makes it the fasterst :-D

[landy]

Never assume anything my friend......it's often a big mistake ! ...


One of my favourite quotes: "Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups". :p

Anyone guess which film?? :cool1:

[SGHOM]

In all honesty, I can see myself nursing it around the track. :undecided unless I find a quick & inexpensive cure for my gearbox problems !! :sick:
It's really only on long runs, when my box gets hot, that the leak appears. I hope a 15 minute blast on the track wont cause the problem to re-occur.

[bonsai boy]

as bruce would say on play youre cards right

HIGHER :-D

[Simon]

[bonsai boy]

all i can say is that a lot of hard work has payed off.
was well pleased with the way the car ran on the track

[Simon]

:-D this has to be the fastest expanding thread ever!...i wish i hadn't started it!

Graham had better start a new thread in...... maybe....... the performance section ..........just guessing!!!!!!!

....i just reckon that me and kieren should drive side by side around the track and stop people passing! :p :p :p ....rolling road block at 10mph....we got a CONVOY! :$ :p

[Spirit]

C'mon share with us - if I recall - HKS cams, Motec ECU and Aquamist cooling ring a bell ?

[SGHOM]

what power are you running now Graham ?? have you had it checked ?? & just what exactlty have you done to it ?? me thinks you been modding behind our backs ?? :$ :$

[Spirit]

....i just reckon that me and kieren should drive side by side around the track and stop people passing! :p :p :p ....rolling road block at 10mph....we got a CONVOY! :$ :p

Won't stop some of them using the grass mate :-D

[Simon]

[Simon]

2 hours = 35 posts :cool1: on one subject and we still haven't got to the bottom of it.....wheres he gone :)

[bonsai boy]

thats it blink and you miss me :-D

[bonsai boy]

good pic simon thanks.

[Brind]

I'll probably be at the back.

Crap brakes, decent tyres which I want to keep that way, haven't been on track before, don't trust you lot, not sure exactly what it would do going fast into a corner, and I know for sure I'd end up through a barrier somewhere if I get excited. :$ :-D

Tell us more though Graham, we must stop Derek bragging. ;) :-D
