So.. Today after 8 days of Clio RS ownership I went to my first Clio Sport Saturday and here's how it went.
I set off around 7:15am, managed to get lost turning off to a services and taking a wrong roundabout turning
oo: but only added 10 mins to the trip. Pulled into Blyton park and it looked empty. Thought I'd got the wrong weekend and I was about to get a load of crap from people back home but ended up hearing the cars on the track and finding my way.
So, I knew no one and this is my first real car show as such. I'm a bit of a miserable young b*****d and don't do starting random conversations so I just awkwardly stood watching the track and listening to a group of people mention that the Saxo that was going round made funny noises... Every time it came round. SO! After watching that I buggered off and had a quick look around, Got myself a CS 12v Adapter as amazingly mine had packed in on the way and it wasn't the fuse :up: evidently the lads selling them didn't know they sold them. Got some food, stood around like the miserable b*****d I am and jumped in the car to leave 2 hours later, Obviously just after having a 15 min session on the Go Karts on my way out.
On the way home I did an involuntary tour of Salford since traffic stopped me getting over to my turning.
Might not sound like it buy I enjoyed my couple of hours at CSS, Next year if I go I think I'll get myself some track time if its still available next year and be a bit more organised to make a weekend of it. Also by then hopefully I'll know some of you a bit better and not just stand around like a plank!
EDIT: Some shithead also took a chunk of paint out of my nearside mirror at a service station.
