Castle Combe Actionday 2016

[Christopher.]

Just a small collection from the day. Really enjoyed it Shame the 106 wasn't ready for a session though.

 

[Pete.]

Great pics Chris. Was a really good day, shame one area rep bailed out early.

 

[Christopher.]

Im still shocked tbh.

That's my old car!

You were also at the last Hullavington day weren't you?

 

[DCELEC 182]

Oh is it! Small world and all that eh...how long ago did you own it?
Done a fair bit to it since I got it last year tbh, and yeah I was at Hullavington! What were you there in, should have said hello :smile:

There was a huge group of us, I barely managed conversations with half my group let alone talking to strangers! Lol

I was in a Fabia VRS, my mates took a storm grey 172, a red E36 M3, a silver 182 and an RS3.

I had that a LONG time ago! Hold on I'll see if I've got a pic...

 

[DCELEC 182]

Ahh yeah I remember seeing you all there with the two clios, that grey one looks awesome and really nicely done :up:
Enjoyed that day actually, pity they're not going to be doing them any more!

@DCELEC 182

This is the only one I have. This was the day I collected it. (Nothing wrong with it, I owned the truck and it made it easier to collect!)

How long ago was that?
Only bought it last year to get back into trackdays, been a great little car so far but wasn't quite as well prepared as I'd hoped so ended up replacing/upgrading pretty much everything but the engine (which seems sweet)!

 

[McGherkin]

Did pop past the CS stand but there wasn't really anyone there at the time.

@DCELEC 182 has that got a straight cut box in it? Sounded like it!

 

[Typhoon]

Im still shocked tbh.

What happened? ;o

4 or 5 years I expect!

I did the belts/dephaser and then sold it to someone on the forum. Can't remember who though.

 

[Herr Flick]

So despite what people say, it's obvious clios and mx5s are useless on track?

 

[S-JM]

Nice pics mate, is that the engine-swapped Yeti?

Gripper diff but no straight cut box....had a new set of 888r's on that seemed to make a load of noise too!

 

[Tim.]

Nope, I didn't see it this time round, which is a shame - that was a seriously quick Skoda.

I couldn't work out what the sound was, clearly it was the diff!

 

[Dan@SJM]

Flyby of TCup.

 

[dann2707]

Why were most of the people going backwards?

 

[JamesBryan]

Literally don't know how people go off on dry days. You have to be trying to crash it to go off in a Clio in the dry.

You've clearly never been a combe action day..haha

Post up the onboard :up:

Putting it mildly, yeah.. Makes for great entertainment though.

Onboard

 

[McGherkin]

Shows just how looney this is!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Heh - that car is bonkers Dan. Really tidy cabin install too

 

[Dan@SJM]

Yes and no. theres a lot I want to redo, as it did get rushed towards the end as time ran out. this will be sorted over the year.

I really wanted to get some shots of your car Dan 😧 We were tucking into breakfast when you were out.

theres always FCS it'll probably have more boost by then too.

That picture is a Roomster....but that Yeti is epic, and he knows how to drive as well. That Roomster was getting smokier and smokier every time I saw it!

Did anyone see that 4x4 go around? Think it was a Shogun or something. Totally standard and it made for comical watching. Probably shouldn't have been allowed out as it was so unpredictable

The seating looks spot on for you though

Yeah, I watched it. Didn't seem to be doing too bad of a job of pedalling it by the end of its session tbf.

There was a white Volvo doing moving chicane duties too.

 

[Christopher.]

Some more

Was a great day!

You're right! I recently saw the Yeti on YT and got my Skoda-family-wagons mixed up! Still an interestingly unique track day choice.
