@chris blue my wife was having a good chinwag with your wife on the pit wall.
Good to see you out there yesterday enjoying yourself - she told us about the incident you had a few years back.
I may have told her a couple of times when red flagged that I think itās the red 197ā¦.
Also saw your car today on the car park for plas newydd national trust. We also visited š

Well what a weekend, thanks to the whole admin team, supporters and everyone that made a fabulous event run so seamlessly.
It wasnāt without its self imposed stresses! Holidaying in the arse end of Cornwall, returning on the Friday meant a 13 hour drive. Buying a car unseen the week before CSFā¦but Iām pleased to say that with only a tiny annoyance, the car was great! Thanks to @Scrooge for giving me a lift to ECP! Thanks to everyone who took time out to make Toby feel so welcome and treat him like a grown up. Special thanks to @SharkyUK for taking him out in the GT4. He is absolutely Porsche mad and has started on his mother as soon as we walked through the door. Telling her how much of a sound investment one would be and how brilliant a car it is!
Big love to everyone, sorry I only chatted with so few and could only get so many passenger laps in. Genuinely I am amazed so many of you wanted to spend time in the mini š

Just got home, unpacked, time to catch up and say thank you to everyone involved and especially anyone I didn't personally thank before I left last night, awesome efforts from everyone, these events continue to get slicker ššš
Spent so much time driving and chatting that I only took 3 photos the entire day, and the only one that's worthy of posting is this one...
Mad that I've been in this place almost from the beginning!
As for my teeny little faux pas, I have no words, and only one smiley needed

I'll update my thread when I get 2 mins. Saves clogging this oneš
Finally home... What a weekend!
The Megane was faultless all day, considering it was only purchased recently I had no idea how she'd perform and well.. for a road car, fook me š she went!
Bigger intercooler needed as the inlet temps were high, coilovers on order already - so next year she'll be back with a vengeance.
For once, I managed to get a few passenger rides in with @Flob and @Krarl
Credit where credit is due, brilliant drivers. Rob had me in stitches the entire time, that VX is something else.
Where as Kyle just got faster and faster, good effort mate!
A huge thank you as ever to all of the staff for putting on a blinder of a weekend š none of your hard work goes unnoticed, legends!
A special mention is due for @Mr_wababobobob who was out in my megane for parts of the day and as well as coaching a few of you in your cars. Thank you to all the members who made him feel like he was part of the club.
Until next year āļøšš¤

The depth of field has made the car look like a toy that Cub's about to pick up and put in his pocket.

I agree with @Ay Ay Ron and keep it at Anglesey.

Limped home fine. Had to coast over the Menai bridge due to traffic but thankfully it was downhill!
RB182 & Monaco 172

Another brilliant weekend!
Was good to see people from last year, meet new people AND see ones I haven't seen in over 10 years!
Big thanks to everyone involved in the running/organising of it all!
I sort of went between every group of people there so I've already lost track of half the usernames on here sorry š
I've got a few pictures but I didn't really take many was too occupied watching/chatting.
I pulled up at the first carpark when you turn left out of Anglesey and ended up here, literally 5 mins walk from it
Was out there about half hour before getting stuck in traffic AGAIN at the bridge.
Currently at the other camspite
And the owner's dog has made it's way over here in the field and she's just chilling with me

It was the first time I'd attended a CSF but it definitely won't be the last, next year I'll book some track time aswel!
I didn't speak to many people, mainly due to not knowing anyone but everyone I did was more than happy to talk to a randomer!
Thanks to everyone who helped organise the day and a special thanks for the cleaning kit prize. It's much appreciated

I had a t-shirt made with my avatar for last year, but this year I found more people are willing to talk to me if they don't know who I am beforehand.

Good to meet you mate.
It was me and @Brett who were talking with you until the bar closed and then back to the camping area for more drinks š

It was good to meet you mate. Your car looked great out there from the few times I caught eyes on it, looked like you were chucking it in to the banking

Likewise! I did enjoy watching the M4 blast down that back straight though I'm sure it made more noise off throttle than it did on!?

Whichever has fuel
This is why I love this clubā¦.
Friday night @Sunglasses_Ron tells me heās got a family room at the Premier inn. So me and Alf can get a good kip and a shower before Saturday. I mean the manās a prick, but heās a lush prick. Genuinely a brother from another mother.
Saturday Rolls round - Both myself and my son left our phones on charge on the charger table at about 12pm. Totally forgot about them and went back at 5pm and both still there, exactly the same position.
Wouldnāt happen anywhere else!
My son was booked on track for the A.M. heās only been driving 10 months and as much as I wanted to go with him on his maiden voyage, he asked if he could go on his own as I am quite hard on him and he didnāt want the added stress of me. Absolutely fair and I understand. Iād have been the same at 18.
So I turned to @JP83 - a man I have probably met 10 times in my life but I āknowā him. Heās a proper placid level headed man who wouldnāt scream if Chopper decided to oversteer in to the sea - and said ācan you go with him mate?ā And he just said yes and did it for me and my boy.
Then the car s**t itself after 4 laps and our day was over. Power steering fluid delete.
Chop was very very sad as you can imagine, as was I, as I was looking forward to passengering him later on. š¢
Then enter stage left; Will. (Donāt know your current username sorry!) āDan if your carās fucked Alfie can have a go in mineā
wtf?! š³
Within 30 minutes I was waving my son out of the garages in someone elseās car. #teamcs
I had a proper heart to heart with @NorthloopCup . Was lovely getting stuff off my chest - another good human being.
Then it was time to cobble together a plan to get home. I decided to just drive it home with no PAS. A deadly crew of men all stood around my car looking g at eachother; yeah it will be fine. Itās not heavy once youāre going so just go motorway. Bosh!
Enter stage right; @MLB . Who very rightly pointed out that if the PAS pump seizes and the aux belt jumps, Iād end up in a world of pain. Thank you, you lovely tall Dutchman.
This is where it gets special.
During a berating of @OEM Battery Nonce we decided that weād limp it to @Grandpa Joe ās house about 40 minutes away where we would collect the Suzuki Swift that Iām buying from him. After he bought it from @Jonnio . š
Leave the RB there and come home in the Swift. Rent a trailer and go back up tomorrow to get it.
Then, enter stage Up (?) @Flob who comes down from the sky in a beam of light. āIāve got a trailer. Iāll get it home. But can we please discuss this in the morning Iām tiredā so we did and he did. He put the RB on his trailer and headed to my house. I took Chopper in Robās VX220 (with no front number plate) to Tomās house where I paid Ā£25 for 8 hours of insurance for him to follow me home in the swift.
We then gave it some tie pie (legally, heās only been driving 10 months!) all the way home, ensuring we were catching Rob back up because I didnāt want him waiting for hours outside mine when heās already doing me a HUGE favour. Alfie on the motorway was amazing. How many 18 year olds would drive a totally new to them car for 5 hours on the motorway??
Anyway, we got back. Rob unloaded the RB, I loaded the VX, we both strapped it down, we hugged, he went home to an angry wife.
It was soooo good to speak to people Iāve never met in person before and some that I havenāt seen for years but chatting away like weāre neighbours. š
I. LOVE. THIS. CLUB. ā¤ļø
