Who's the owner of this fine piece of driving? Lucky I was awake as i could of slammed right into the side of you!
Some bangers last night. Like my head today.Amazing weekend again this year, just about feeling normal again after last night [emoji23]
Thanks for having me on the decks again, I loved it. Bit more late 90’s trance I think next year

And you pal. Learnt that you're not even called Ron, this time. Or you probably told me last year and I was half canned.Great to see you again mate [emoji106]
TurboRenault.co.uk hired in a pap, did a mix of track and static shots. Will update you once we have them inWas there somebody round the track taking photos?
We did? Wish you’d have introduced yourself ffs! ?
I spoke to him for a bit, didn’t realise who it was either ?
Always a pleasure seeing you Paul. Car was looking fantastic! Wish i'd gotten a chance to sit in those expensive seatsHad a little nap after my dinner today, 4 hours later I feel nearly normal again?. Even with staying the whole weekend CSF just isn't long enough! It was great to catch up with my regular csf buddies @Sunglasses_Ron @MarcB @Gus @Dr Jekyll @leeds2592 @Louis and others and it was good to put some more faces to names and chat with @benji93 @Scrooge @SharkyUK and others whose names my feeble mind can't recall?.
And lastly thanks to Ryan (username ?) for tormenting me and @YorkshireKyle with barbecue as we were setting up camp?. And big thanks to @YorkshireKyle and @DaveDreads for the laps and @Filters there's always next time pal?.
My 4th csf on the bounce and the biggest and best yet, roll on next year?.
I'll let you have a sit at the next Yorkshire meet mate. That is if there's still petrol available then??Always a pleasure seeing you Paul. Car was looking fantastic! Wish i'd gotten a chance to sit in those expensive seats
Was really good to meet you mate finally ?Well, that was alright wasn't it?!
If I may be selfish for a moment I would like to say that I was chuffed to finally pop my CSF cherry and actually make it this year. It exceeded my expectations and, like many others, look forward to next year's event already. Firstly I would like to offer my thanks to the admin team and all those involved behind the scenes that make these things possible. You do a great job and your efforts (past, present and no doubt future) are welcomed and very much appreciated. Thank you all. I won't even attempt to list you by name as I will forget at least one member of the team and feel truly awful about it afterwards! Top job, thanks!
Secondly, a big thanks to all those who kindly gave up part of their day to catch-up, acquaint and chat. It is always good to see folks whom I haven't seen for a while, and equally good to finally put a few more faces to the usernames! Apologies to the new acquaintances if I initially met you with a dumb stare; inside my mind was racing trying to recall whether or not I could put a face and name together! I've chatted and 'virtually' met so many people (good people) through this Club that I can't always keep up. And, y'know, old age. Rest assured, I thoroughly enjoyed the chats and the catch-ups and thanks to those who kindly complimented my German Beetle. The only downer was that I missed a few people during the day (goodness knows how!) Sorry!
@MarcB - it was great to finally meet you and have a chat, a chat that I hope we can continue on another occasion. The honour and pleasure was mine mate. Cheers!
I'm just about to see what pics I have from the day and will post them up soon. Sadly a memory card failure means I have likely lost a load of images (I really should upgrade my gear) but I have a few others on another card.
TLDR;
I had a blinder, met loads of great people, saw lots of great cars. Let's do it again.
Likewise! Drop me a message if ever you're down in the south Wales area mate.Was really good to meet you mate finally ?
Good to meet you Andy and thanks for tanking the time to show me around your beetle, it truly is an epic machine. A few of us are visiting Wales for a weekend driving in September, maybe you could tag along for a few miles if you're not busy.Well, that was alright wasn't it?!

Likewise Paul, thanks for seeking me out and introducing yourself. Enjoyed speaking with you and I'm always happy to share my Beetle with interested folks. Thanks for the heads-up regarding the Wales drive. I might be struggling due to the date as I think it conflicts with a Welsh driving weekend I already have planned... let me check the dates, etc. All the best fella.Good to meet you Andy and thanks for tanking the time to show me around your beetle, it truly is an epic machine.

Yes mate. We have had a chat over at TurboRenault.@andybond do you know who was in the grey mk3 megane pitched up by the hanger? They had plenty of complaints Saturday morning and packed up and fucked off before the rain stopped?. They were asking where the turbo Renault guys were on Friday when they pitched up.
Seems they were expecting something a little different and didn't get into the spirit? I guess they didn't have anything positive to say then.Yes mate. We have had a chat over at TurboRenault.
They were kept awake until 0400, then a drone was flying at 0600.Seems they were expecting something a little different and didn't get into the spirit? I guess they didn't have anything positive to say then.
It was only a full 360 rotation.@andybond I waited for you to catch up in the AM session so we could have a little tussle and as you came through port froid I just seen you in my mirror do 2 x 360 spins but catch it, bravo ?
Looked like 2 spins in my mirror. Yeah spoke to your son ?It was only a full 360 rotation.
I did what any good racedriver would do after a 360 spin , checked my tyre pressures and went for a courtesy wipe at the bogs after.
Got back on it again though and no more spins.
I was quite chuffed with myself. Kept the engine running and just pulled away hoping noone had noticed. Eldest son told my 1/2 of Yorkshire saw it.
I believe I have footage of this, I'll have a digIt was only a full 360 rotation.

Yeah , spoke to the drive after. I could murder him on the faster first half of the circuit but he did me under breaking and the twisty bits on the latter half. We swapped over for a lap or two and it was a marked difference in speed in places.That EG was pushing you hard in the last session. Have you seen the videos of it?
See if you can up the audio a bit.I believe I have footage of this, I'll have a dig

His EG was tricked out mind! Had some great setup bits on there.
I need to sort out my braking. I couldnt modulate my brakes as well as I wanted. I was either nothing or grabbing. I borrowed a friend and with that extra weight it was a lot better.
