Show: Castle Combe Spring Action Day - 02/04/16

[Toms306]

With all that sun we have in the UK they'd have been better off with a wind farm surely!

[roland rat]

Your best off buying an unlocked ECU from Rich Walker on the 306 gti6 forum.

Gearbox wise I'm guessin you want just quick acceleration so look at a 205 1.6 be gti box I'd say

thanks for your reply I cant seem to find details for rich walker would you have any details pls .
regards steve.

Or hydro power with all this rain

[lolsteve]

Hmm would have thought combe would have stopped with all the price increases now they've got income from that loverly solar panel farm

That lost would of cost them an absolute fortune. Wont be making money yet!

But wouldn't the point be that the loan they might have taken out for it which is costing X amount in repayments would be offset by the X+Y gained from the panels? 

Or if it was paid with money they already had then they must have been making good money in the first place to save that capital 

Either way, boo stingy combe but i'll still probably go anyway just to spank rowel

On your traditional PV on a house, you generally wont be in pocket until 8-12 years time. I would imagine theres is much the same but on a much larger scale. Much larger initial outlay but much larger return monthly.
thats assuming they own it all. They may have sold the land and they do not see any of the generation credits.

combe action day prices are silly. :/

[Dum-Dum]

The club calendar shows this being the same day as the clubs ace cafe day, are we not doing ace cafe if all the staff are gonna be at combe?

[Day666]

Guys you always have a great turn out for this ....
I'm expecting 3-4 more guys who are on both The 6 forum & here to go !

As always I park in your group bit at the side or back as you all know I spend most of the day on the track

It would be great to see another big turn out & I'll be able to give a few of you a passenger ride this time ....well as long as you will fit into my bucket seat that is

[Piggy]

I'll take a ride day666!

[Day666]

Yes No Probs Piggy ...

having my car sorted at mo since last time you saw it it's having ...full welded in cage by Mike Edwards & Black Art Design front Coilovers with Russain Guy top mounts & 30mm ARB with Bilstein Group A rear Dampers...
Also Lightened flywheel with Helix Paddle ( C Metallic ) clutch & Helix Pressure plate...all stripped with (Twangy) Carbon front & rear door panels electric window pod mount

Hopefully much safer & extra bit quicker than last year ?

[RetroPug]

If I turn up I'd like a passenger ride! I don't think I'll be going on track for this one in my own car though.

The club calendar shows this being the same day as the clubs ace cafe day, are we not doing ace cafe if all the staff are gonna be at combe?

the ace day was planned well before combe announced their date. I for one havent decided where im going to be if anywhere!

to be honest i think the action day has outpriced itself for track time against the 2 hr track slots of FCS
i may be going to Ace for the day instead have not made up my mind yet though

[7057sam]

Do like the sound of ace as
1.never been to ace before.
2.combe's prices are getting silly.

Is there a meet thread for the oc at ace yet ?

[Cho99er5000]

Have you got space for one more car

[lolsteve]

From the sounds of it there will be quite a few spaces spare

I'm giving this a miss now. Went to my local track this weekend which did 3 sessions for £50 (session being about 11 minutes so a little shorter although combe is never 15 minutes anyway) plus its sub hours drive rather than 3

Will still be doing FCS though due to it being a good weekend

[Piggy]

I second this.

Action Day is getting too pricey for me also

[Cho99er5000]

I'm definitely attending iv sent payment to 306oc

Afternoon Guys

Combe are doing things a little differently this year. In the past we have been given 10 free tickets which we have distributed on a first come first serve basis. This year they are charging for all of them.
These will be booked through the club so unlike FCS, i will be collecting the money.

Vehicle pass (which includes access for your car, driver and 3 passengers!) - £12
Track time between 0900-1100 & 1600-1700 - £25
Track time between 1100-1600 - £30

Club spaces are being allocated on a first come first serve basis so we have until the beginning of March to have this secured. Therefore if you would like to attend, i need you to pay by Tuesday 1st March. Payment must be made to the club paypal (payments@306oc.co.uk) and MUST be paid as a gift or you pay the fees. The club will not be paying the difference if you decide to not cover the fees!!
Please ensure you include in the notes what you are paying for e.g what track session, how many etc.
All tickets will be sent to me then distributed before the show.

Once you have paid, please add your name to the list and tell me what you have paid for

I'm going so I'll get footage and pic and I'll put it on here for those who are not going

[Jonny81191]

Would anyone be interested in a proper track day? Open pit and less money for the time on track would be much better.

I'm doing combe on the 20th Feb full track day open pit

[welshpug]

I don't go for the track time, I go for the social aspect and to watch the muppets fall off the track

I doubt numbers will drop, plenty of non old french tat owners go along that have enough cash to waste.
