spring action day at combe
Discussion
Sorry to all in the Public carparks I didn't make it to them at all and also to the silver Monaro PH stickered, didn't get a pic, also to the Mustang Saleen, looked for you but only spotted you at the last second before you left CC, and also to the silver Pug that had red PH sticker on track, I could find you in the stands.
However Those that I did find:
Red Monaro on the next stand to me.
And two Skodas on the massive briskoda stand, by far the biggest stand there:
Anyone spot anyone else?

I actually saw you take the photo of the sticker and was contemplating accosting you with an "OI! YOU OFF PH THEN?"

I actually spotted both of you on your first Briskoda rich track run in the morning, then went for a photo much later.I actually saw you take the photo of the sticker and was contemplating accosting you with an "OI! YOU OFF PH THEN?"
I felt like a right perv trying to go in and out all the 1300 cars that were on stands, so I might just announce at the club entrance "Do we have any PH owners within the club!!" then I might get to meet most of the members
Get to chew the fat with every PH member and spend less time trying to entertain my club stand occupants lol
However the eclectic mix that I found from my stands members today surprised me somewhat, to know just something about most stands, BUT everyday is a school day.
I don't mind knowing more from anyone at anytime during a meet, thats what it's all for!

Good to see you having fun in the Mondeo, proves that it's not what you drive that matters. Will also be on track in a dark Mk 1 mondeo saloon. (possible the rallye too )
Were you getting sea sick around the chicanes - it looked a little wobbly! Spotted the Rallye to, very nice. The green/white/ 306 GTI was one of the few cars that seamed to be giving it 100% every session regardless of the wet conditions.
Really good to see a mixed selection on track and even allowing for the at times diabolical conditions there only appeared to be a small number of casualties - a Integra DC2 in the wall just before Quarry, a Ford Puma wrecked it's bottom end, a Clio 172 lost a front wheel and the disintegrating 200SX that lost it's bumper, side skirt and difuser around the track.

Sadly I didn't get a chance to go in the mondeo, me and a friend both got track time for our cars and both were at 13:00. Were you getting sea sick around the chicanes - it looked a little wobbly!

He said it was funny as hell though! and as you say, VERY wobbly in the corners
I didn't see the green/white 306? Was it quick? Also agree with you on the selection of cars front. Lots of nice stuff, with some good driving. Not many crashes either. As another poster said though, better add the 350z to that list

The pink 'drift' 200sx and the 14 plate GTR where out rain or shine as well. Were you getting sea sick around the chicanes - it looked a little wobbly! Spotted the Rallye to, very nice.

^ true both were certainly getting a lot of use through the day, the 200SX owner must have had a day pass- some good skills from the chap to.
I didn't realise the Carlton estate had caught fire, I saw it do a couple of laps and all looked fine but then it looked like it had a blow out going down the main straight. Presumably that was the lap prior to it's early demise then :-(
Did anyone notice if the Imola red E46 M3 had an off ? The chap driving that looked rather handy at catching the rear end around Quarry and the following chicane. Unlike the chap in the RX8 with Orange wheels - someone should have booked him onto the skid pan training rather than the track!

The Caged one? If so, yes, he had an off - he was really pushing on during a tussle with a VW - eventually got past it, then disappeared for a period before reappearing with damage;
