Aye and you mate.

Next year there should be a charity auction and the winner gets username changing rights for the day.Another great weekend, albeit soggy weekend. Was still a great laugh, great to catch up with old faces and meet some new ones.
Awaiting the whole new range of usernames to be altered now 🤣
I've got a brilliant 10 minute video of us flying around together. I'll upload it to YouTube shortly 👌Me and the boys had a good day. A day of tyre death for us and a bit of a punch in the b****cks for myself having 2 Clio’s welded to my bumper all day…. Granted they were on slicks (that’s the excuse I’m sticking with). Also had some mint laps with (I think) @JB21 in his MR2. Much like the Clios, he was absolutely slaughtering me on the tighter corners and under braking.
My only ‘gripe’ was how empty the track was, although I’m not exactly sure whether I can justify moaning about that - especially given the lack of red flags throughout the day.

How was the camping? Was it raining too much to have a good old social?
It absolutely tipped it down at about 9pm.
We will have a rethink for next year. A party in one of the garages is an option.

Did you not have the huge marquee this year Dave?
Proper missed your dj’ing skills this year mate 🙁
Did I not take you out then??I wasn't going to bother going to csf this year. With all the s**t I've got going on at home I really couldn't be bothered but @Filters messaged me last month and gave me the pep talk I needed. Enjoy the tipple my friend you deserve it 🍻.
So another great csf done.
If you were there and we met for the first time it was nice to meet you, that applies to some of you I can't remember meeting at last year's csf😆. It was great to catch up with the usual csf posse too👍.
Massive thanks to the admin team for organising it, which must have been extra stressful finding a new venue and also waiting to see how the weekend would eventually turn out. The rain was literally the only dampener on the weekend (I still got bloody sun burnt though 😂) 👍.
The track was great fun and the Clio cup car is an amazing piece of kit. Thanks to Andy again for giving us the opportunity to experience it and thanks to those who took me out for a few laps, @Chode Lint @Touring_Rob @Call Me Dangerous Dave and @TRH_Racing 👍.
If you weren't there you missed out! Yeah it's a bloody long way from everywhere but it was definitely worth it, it's the essence of cliosport and really shows what a great club it is to be a part of.
Thanks again, see you next year.

🤔 No you didn't!Did I not take you out then??
Prick.
Another great weekend as usual thanks to the CS team, track is much better than Blyton but it's going to take a few days for my compressed spine to go back to normal after wearing 4 point harnesses all day, back home with a cuppa and a bacon sarnie, even though I don't drink anymore I still feel broken and i'm glad I don't have work tomorrow.
Looking forward to sleeping in a bed again rather than the back of a Golf.
My A052 were also knackered hence the constant oversteer 😆Yay. More footage of me being mad a complete example of
Some really good laps! Power isn’t everything it seems.
I think it was this session where the tyres started to delaminate. I responded to the vibrations by continuing and just turning more
Next year mate! I was talking too much instead of driving as usualMate I shared a garage with him and didn’t manage to get out in either of the vans! 😂
You did just go full cockney though 🤣 you even had a little Dell boy shoulder shuffle at one point Ron!
As everyone else has said, massive thanks to all the people who made this a success. I've not been to a CSF before so was a little apprehensive, but it was a brilliantly welcoming place and very well run, even the banners at the main gate were just a nice touch and really set the tone for the weekend.
I was another one who felt comfortable leaving my phone at the charging point and jacket and sunglasses in garages while I went out in cars without a worry of them going missing.
Thanks also to @Chode Lint, @The Crumb Master, @Filters, @TRH_Racing and @Call Me Dangerous Dave for taking me out for a good few laps. It's mad to think that for the price of a passenger band that there are so many people willing to just take you out on track as a passenger having never met you before.
Again it really shows the culture of the club and something to be proud of.
I need to say a special thanks to @Filters
You put so much effort into not just organising your race teams attendance but the raffle prizes too. Can’t thank you enough pal.
Please also pass on our heartfelt thanks to James Harrison and Dermot the head mechanic.
We raised a total of £1700 for cancer research (raffle and hot laps).
we're more than happy to come again next year, if you'll have us 🙏
Its pretty wild. Even harder to pedal, proper keeps you on your toesThat stubby Kangoo is wild
It comes on boost, feels like someone's set a blowtorch off in your face and there's a bloke sat with a trombone raping your eardrums. Can't believe how loud it was, especially on overrun when it felt like someone was firing an AK-47 out of the back doors🤣🤣
@Ph1 TomIts pretty wild. Even harder to pedal, proper keeps you on your toes
Im glad it was quiet so i could get some seat time and figure out how to drive it without holding anybody up. High speed braking is a bit twitchy over a ton. Trail braking into tight corners is epic can rotate the back end easy.
I had a good run against the silver e46 m3 at the end of the day with the private reg on in the Extra. Not sure who it was.
Love for the mentions boys, was amazing to be able to help @Filters with the hot laps and I’m glad I could take a bunch of you out!
Great to see everyone again (I can’t remember half the user names) … bring in next year 😁
