    Kelvin Burt Porsche Carrera Cup smash

    Bloody hell. I was thinking about this sort of crash at Castle Combe today when I noticed I was no more than 20ft from the actual circuit and the insane Castle Combe Saloons were passing at up to 150mph. It would only take one car to get lifted up by another and you wouldn't stand a chance.

    castle coombe

    Yep I will be there, 100th round of the Saloons tomorrow and the opportunity for a track walk at lunchtime looking at the cars, should be great.

    Heard one at Castle Combe last year, most amazing sounding thing ever.

    Gumball rally yesturday !

    £28,000 a car, additional £12,000 for a passenger...and this is a cheap year as it's a relatively simple European route. Not all the cars are exotic, you always get a few quirky things. I think you just apply and hope for the best if you happen to have enough cash.

    Porkas at brands (tissues req)

    What model RS is that? I've gone from a hater to a massive fan (of 911s) in about 4 weeks, can't get enough of them now but still have little idea what is what! Photographed these recently, correct me if I'm wrong and fill in the blanks please...:) 911 997 GT3 911 997 GT3 RS 911...

    175MPH IN A NOVA...

    I have a lot of respect for the guys that still run Novas. A few that turn up at various events at Castle Combe during the year build them in their garage for next to nothing over winter, and then they go and pass 75% of the cars out on circuit with no trouble. Most are really tidy jobs, sure...

    911 GT3 RS Track Day Fun (Pics)

    pmsl, I couldn't figure it out for a while but I didn't get as many keepers as usual (100 out of 400, pretty shocking, and even those I've shown here aren't perfect), I was wondering what I did wrong and then just before I read your post I realised I was spent the day at the fastest point of the...

    911 GT3 RS Track Day Fun (Pics)

    Out playing at Castle Combe today, god I love these cars, the driver of the Orange one was seriously shifting... For those that know Combe, the first few with the splitters up high are them cresting Avon Rise, leading down to the ones at the bottom where they are almost scraping the tarmac...

    Cliosport @ the Castle Combe Action Day - 21/04/07

    Around Quarry no less. I've seen races where some of the drivers won't go into Quarry that commited, usually after they've seen two or three already go off there in one race mind you.

    Jessops Sale

    There have been rumours of discounts for a while now because they are in serious trouble, it seems to be starting... Nikon D40 Black + AF-S DX 18-55mm Lens - £340 + JDSLRJ015 discount code = £320, a bit of a bargain, quite frankly. Review: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond40/

    Whats the rarest colour car on here??/

    Forest Green on a Valver is pretty rare, do we have any in the club? I went to look at one last year, in fact I went ready to buy it as the owner said it was in mint condition, but it was a complete s**tbox. Apart from that the rarest ones I know of are as follows: Ph1 172 in Sunflower...

    Which digital camera, say budget of £250 or so ??

    Castle Combe Action Day - (Mainly) Clio's on Track

    Different in a good way, I see about 10 different photographers pics after a Combe day and most are very similar to each other, you always find a slightly different angle and/or take your pics at a slightly different time to everybody else which gives a really dynamic look even at a relatively...
