Castle Combe 24th July Easy Track

[shawn 968cs]

Anyone from here going?

[nielsen]

I will be there in a silver Astra VXR, and my understanding is that we will have to fight our way past a few broken down TVR's

[shorts!]

If you were the guy in the silver Astra staying out in the wet with me at Cadwell a few weeks ago I'll be happy to let you past, though I still think front wheels for steering, rear wheels for driving is the way to go . . .

Yes I was at Cadwell in the rain/sun, and had lots of fun watching all the Porsches parked up because of a litle water on the track
Are you on for Castle Combe on friday?

I expect we are going to have a fab day, if we are aloud to play together. I will do my best to stay out of the barrier, and you promise not to break down

Not booked on this, damn shame really as I love mobile chicanes.

So they decided that their cars would be a bit of handful on a wet track that might not be very forgiving if they got it wrong. How very inconsiderate of them not to give you the pleasure of any red flags by using their discretion

I didn't complain.

Hmm, not enough rain for my liking. Luckily my car is not too much of a handful in the wet.
And Bo, once again your totally standard (ahem!) Astra showed everyone else a clean set of wheels. You almost made your set of slicks last all afternoon too.

Hi Bo
Good to see you there again (i.e back of the astra disappearing in to the distance).

Hi Shawn, You didn't do to bad yourself. It was a brilliant day with all the tracktime we wanted.

See you soon

Your car must be due some attension soon, it's the only TVR I have seen spend more time on track than in the pit's. You are changing my view on TVR's.
Hopefully we can meet up for another play in the wet somewhere

Bo;)

I've got one of the TVRs that enjoys being driven more than it enjoys being tinkered with. I'd rather spend my time at a track on track than waving tools at it in the pits and my skills with a spanner are even worse than my skills with a steering wheel.
I've got a couple of months of too much worktime so no tracktime. ~I should be back out to play at the end of Sept - just in time for the wet stuff to return. See you then.
