Castle Coombe Great Day. Thanks To Bob & Mo

[Guest Howtightpet]

Just wanted to say a BIG Thank you to Bob and Mo ( Hants & Dorset ). For getting the tickets and posting them out to us all.

Have to say also great to see such a great gazebo the best in the paddock and the supply of tea and coffee.

Great day was had by all I am sure.

 

Hope everyone arrived home safe.

 

Well for me a change in CAN at a 103 dB is a must but how Lynn can sleep in Ruby I just don't know.

Well of course I do it's my driving lol

 

Great day maybe we should do this next year as a whole club event and track time since the Venue's are getting limited.

Great to see the guys who turned up and the apologies.

Alan & Lynn

+1 Good day out,

 

took a fellow builder around the track to give him some inspiration to get his car finished.

I sooooo want that snow trac

[Landie71]

There's a Snow Trac in storage at the place where we keep our Tin Tent, must resist asking if it's for sale, got a Zero to build, a '59 SII Landrover to play with before I take on another toy!

Thanks to all that attended & made it a happy ,& fun day. great to see & natter with you all. Track sessions were enjoyed by many, either as a fast parade or paid for free reign runs. Fortunately the predicted rain only managed a very minor damping, not even enough to make us scurry for cover.

 

The Snow Cat would make a lovely garden tractor; all weather grass cutting??

Looks like it wa a grand day.

Who's car is the all red turbo'd beasty?

Ha, I'm in photo no.4

Couldn't make it in the kit as it still not quite road legal, plus it doesn't have 5 seats!

It was a good day and as said earlier it only rained for a minute or two. Loads of older cars especially capri's and a 4.6 V8 Granada. The track was always busy and we got a vintage bus ride around the track which the kids loved.

Let's make it bigger next year.

Another big thank you for organising it! I had a brilliant time getting the Zero on the track for the first time (may have caught the bug...) plus it gave my Dad a chance drive the Zero for the first time ever too which he thoroughly enjoyed! Although it has annoyed my Mum as he is now looking at possibly getting himself a weekend/track toy too!

 

Looking back at my gopro videos, I reckon I got a lap in around the 1 minute 30 mark, I'm quite pleased with that for the first time on track and will look to beat that next year with the V6 installed

 

Oh, and to the person asking about brake pipes, the place I got them was Furore Products (http://furoreproducts.co.uk/9-brake-hoses)

Yes that's me, probably heading off for my session at 12.30 your car looks great in person, think I've only ever seen in on your blog and it didn't disappoint! Shame I didn't get to catch up with you
