So back after an awesome weekend "down south". Combe was very easy to find and the volume of cars there from all the different marques was great. It reminded me a lot of Trax, but with less Vauxhalls. Whilst my heart belongs to old Peugeots it's always nice to have a mooch around Fords, VWs, Skodas, etc. Especially when talking shit with Tom and Ruan about them!
After 5 times of hitting the snooze button I finally managed to drag myself out of bed at about 05:30, dived into the car and somehow drove the 3 hours down to Combe half asleep successfully. So that was win number one.
Win number two was how surprisingly easy the circuit was to find, but the queue was long to say the least. Our stand was a little lacking in 306s (Something you'd come to expect from a 306oc stand haha) but was a good enough place to showcase the Rallye.
I met some great folk that day and special thanks to Sam for taking me out in his superb Astor '6 on the track and for the lass that lent me her helmet and to the lad who gave up his "passenger" band, I'm sorry I didn't get your names!
I spent so much time on track and chatting shit that I barely got to look around the huge array of other cars! A little disappointing but as the clock struck 4pm the majority of cars had headed home. Me, Sam and Dum were the last men standing and we decided to head back to the Premier Inn I'd scored for the night through work in Swindon where we grabbed a shower (not all at the same time of course) and sat and had a meal. We had intended to do something afterward but decided against it once we'd had a beer and some food all three of us were about done!
Another early start saw me meeting Connor on the side of the road before heading down through the New Forest to rendezvous with Poodle, ozone, Niall etc.
Once we'd all found each other and picked up some edible delights from the nearby Sainsburys we all headed for a hoon around the New Forest.
Having never been before I didn't know what to expect. New and Forest both sounded good and it didn't disappoint. The scenery is some of the best in England outside of the Lake District and the sight of wild horses was really bizarre!
Unlike most 306 meets this one was really well organised! Poodle had mapped us out a root and sorted out somewhere good for pics and for a BBQ. So nothing could go wrong?
Well besides most of the roads on our route being closed, the picturesque location being full of kids and dog walkers and half of our group missing the turn off for the BBQ it couldn't have gone better!
Cheers for the comments boys.
Ah you might be right Zak I think the listing may have said expert, I remember them being for a van of some description.
As for my polished mats you should try using the pedals when I've polished them haha
DAnd just to keep all the photos in one place.

Also had a sudden realisation at the services on the way home that your steels are off a new shape Peugeot expert van with the different shape holes, just yours are without the big centre caps
Looks spot on anyway

Your super slick rubber mat that I slipped over on not so much.
