Likewise. You'd have thought they'd have devised a better way to get folk into these things. 

Actually think I'm at the wrong entrance haha 

[ginge191]

Awesome show guys, glad I went! And good to see some new and old faces

[Pebbles167]

Thanks for coming today guys, turned out to be pretty good, what with the weather improving and people making do with the lack of tickets. 

Great to see you again, and those I didn't manage to chat to for long, or indeed speak to at all, I apologise, and look forward to seeing you at the next meet.

Regards, 

Pebbles

Sorry I didn't get to find your stand. Busy day!
Great to meet a few and go past you on track Pebbles hehe...tbh not much did go past me - diff is just awesome. New brakes needed, mine are toast now. Very very wobbly drive home!

[Pebbles167]

Haha! I did see you with the xsi badges adam impressive car. See you at FCS?

[adam b]

Unlikely! I have a sprint the following weekend and a track day the week after, both at combe.
I've got plenty to sort out after today

Might be impressive, still looks like a shed

[Pebbles167]

Got a few vids with you in, will upload and link. Same for you Sam.

[lolsteve]

Want to say a thanks to the oc for this as some of you might know the mg team did quite poorly. The time they were working it was very good and for me I was able to Co pare speeds with bluey. This new one was pulling higher figures on the straight s despite running poorly etc . Even the zs did rather well for a car with undersized brakes and stock suspension 

Real shame I wasn't able to have stick around and have a good old natter with you all althiugh I might see some of you at pugrun tomorrow if I feel the mg is up to it etc 

Lwilliams sorry again for coking up with the ticket, pulling over to check flashing battery lights, a host who took 20 minutes to explain that the nearest petrol station was literally round the corner and stuck on country roads behind a white van made us a bit late. Perhaps the split boot was karma? Who knows again sorry for not coming through on my end 

[Day666]

Thanks to Pebbles / Chris for sorting & I owe you £2 still ...
Was great to meet you all & sorry to Adam B & Mei for not finding you both & saying Hello was busy on the track all day !!!!
Ended up with 5 runs but my Mechanic /m8 did two & one on his own .....Car went amazing now need my Sachshift fitted & more power for the straights / Bodies & Cams & piston cut outs .....Brakes & Handling are sorted & spot on & Tyres can't praise highly enough Exhaust was much better over 3000 & car felt much quicker ...see most of you at FCS

Gutted I missed this. massive thanks to Pebbles for being playing the role of staff and organising things and sorry about the cock up with tickets. I can't see how it's taken so long for Royal Fail to deliver a first class letter!

Hope everyone had an awesome day and look forward to catching up with everyone at FCS and pugfest

[Lwilliams]

Yeah guys good day out for me an my mate really couldn't find the stand though for the life of me 

Gutted didn't get to meet anyone really, an Steve no worries shit happens  I was late my self anyway due to missing the junction, talking to much and not paying attention lol.

[zx_volcane]

Had a great day out, nice to see you all, and those on track looked good holding their own out there amongst a nice variety of cars.

Was a proper 'car day' - lots to see and much random engine chat.

[Lwilliams]

Seen you on the way there zx, on the motorway I was in a blue lexus you was following a louts exige

woi oi!

yup remember that blue lexus, and that exige good god!

[Pebbles167]

L williams,  sorry you didn't find the stand mate in future I'll try organise better.


No problem helping out. Next time I'll be a bit more available,  my track session timings meant i was away from the stand for too long.

Also thanks to you for making my small group of friends feel like part of the club. For two of them it was their first time visiting the circuit and they went away full of enthusiasm. This is in no small part to the chatty nature of master Ruan well done mate.

A mention to the Day666 party here, who frankly was to one who actually got much organised even before I'd arrived. You and your mechanic marked the stand and well and have an decent Combe knowledge. Van full of tools could be very useful too  

Great day on track too with the great weather. My youtube channel is Pebbles CS and has a view vids. There are a few more external ones of you Sam, I'll get them on soon.

Here was my near miss for the day, internal and external! (Language NSFW)

[Toms306]

Damn!! I didn't even see the grey car stop until it was too late. Scary stuff!

[Pebbles167]

bloody hell, how no one ended up in a crash after that I don't know

I know, it was close right?! 

All my friends that attended with me are itching to see your ZX give it some beans now by the way

[adam b]

I was bloody close to hitting it too. Proper squeaky bum moment!

[Niall]

Lol Chris i think you deserve the award of lawnmower of the year. I suppose it was about time we revoke it from Ed from his cheating in his Megane lol

[Orta]

Great weekend for me. Thanks again to Sam for taking me round the track, was epic!!
