serves him right for owning a french car. :p
serves him right for owning a french car. :p
the speed he approached the corner it was only going to end one way
- beemer into the tyres first corner
Quarry, was told its thw most expensive corner in the country. Great fun.
I wont be taking the Sport round there after seeing the driving standards today lol
Much better on a proper day. You have all day so if you get stuck behind someone for a few corners its not the end of the world. Plus less cars on track.
Action days are carnage. Good fun to watch though.
Thats quite scary, those pics of the Megane are almost exactly the same as the ones I took as it was crashing. Must have been stood right next to me lol
Edd, driving standards at combe action days are always pretty shonky tbh. I wouldn't take the Nova out, certainly never the GT4. Which is a shame as I'd quite like to do a trackday.
I've got a bunch of pics, will post them up tomorrow.
ARHHHHHHHHH just got home !!!!!
Beemer decided to die on me on the M5 at cullompton :(
That red bmw must be down my way aswell as i seen it on the trailer whilst waiting for recovery
What you need is a nice reliable cav TD... lol
/\ knew that was coming
fingers crossed its just a coil pack, was cruising along at 60 and the engine just cut out randomly and wont start now.
bottom end turns over freely thou.
Like how people photo petes and alex's novas haha wheres mine should have bought that £10 pic now lol
What you need to do is drive the Nova there and stop fcuking about with trailers lol
the nova wouldnt have made it back it only made one session out without problems other than warped discs and no pads lol
well would like to say had a cracking day and good to catch up with some old faces. Roll on the next one
Sort your spanner skills out then lol
Yeah was a good day, didn't really know what to expect tbh but was a top day, enjoyed the crashes lol
megane pics are you here lol
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?695805-6-month-old-Megane-Crash-Castle-Combe-today-%2AAction-Pics%2A
Um, thats not a megane 225, thats a Megane RS250, fooking quick cars, sexiest recaro's ive ever laid eyes on, and they handle fantastically well, properly sorted chassis on them, so he mustve been lead footing it like a true hero to bin it :eek:
Again. Quarry takes no prisoners. Your hitting it at over 110, got a slight left kink on the brow of a hill then a hard right when the car is completely unstable.
As said, great fun. :d
Everyone spectates from Quarry! lol
Pleased my mates Damson (purple) S14a doesn't feature in this hall of fame!
There was a few hairy moments at quarry, an E30 and S14A did the exact same thing as the Megane whilst I was stood there watching but were lucky enough to miss the tyres by inches. Not to mention the skidoo which you can just see in the pic below where someone faceplanted right into the wall earlier.

pics pics pics!! i wanted to meet edd! i met will F, nice to see lee and jack, and pistol pete, btw your nova is fooking MINT!, chris gsi for the tools and water, plug for shareing loads of smoke around the track each, had a great day, got the nova valeted by the bozzo`s, and chucked it in the garage lol, it didnt use any water on the way home so i guess its the cap that was venting all the steam lol!
Sorry guys i couldnt get the morning off work (told that friday morning by my boss, then we argueed then i got a verbal warning...) Gutted i missed it. And gutted i missed some novas.

Too many wanna be hereos out there yesterday IMHO.
IIRC - 306, Megane, Clio, and BMW all had accidents there. Plus one or two near misses.
The 306 was weird it was cocking a wheel through Quarry and the driver did not seem to be pushing it hard at all.
Great day though
shame benn was a good day and the weather held out although was cold in the shade.
there changing the name to Crash day lol
Dam jack was hoping nobody saw that but at least it was only a boost hose can live with that.

Good day. Have a few pics, not many will upload shortly. Was a PITA first thing as some confusion over access to the stand area. Not that it mattered as we hardly over run with cars! Which was odd seeing a 12 free passes were sent out.....

The womans comment at the start is great.. Over the overtaking rules that he is breaking on the first lap...
He's giving the car alot, happy to smash his way thru too.... I really do drive mine like a pussy i think...
Plug is your the grey nova with red bonnet?

yea benn it is
Dont know Alex dont think jack liked your nova haha
and pete found you in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxTFFXOouqw
i only skipped through but from 9m's on and i believe the guy filming said you was waving everytime you went past lol
It was fooking obvious from the start he didn't have the goods to keep it on the track....Not only was he pushing past people at the corners but on the fooking warm up lap...

Just what i thought. Puts me off doing it...
top marks for going hell for leather mind lol
I really must drive like a pussy. That's the 2nd time in 2days i've thought it over Combe talk.
Plug if you where keeping up with the white and green evo, i'm impressed as last time i saw that it was bloody fast.
benn was only joking about keeping up with that evo, The King was bloody fast haha
maybe on day ill keep up but i know for sure it wont be in a nova lol
Oh lol was gonna say. Seen it a few times and there arnt many things that keep up with it...
i dont think there was alot out there on saturday that would tbh,
Althou the RX-7 im sure would give it a run for its money.
the Focus Rs behind me in that pic said he couldnt pass me and he said its 400 Bhp, Good old nova power

Fri 28 Jun 2013 ??
I'd be tempted to get out on track at a non-action day at combe. Be worried about getting in everyones way though lol
Everyone got in my way last time, mx5's, vx220's, caterhams, s2000's, porches... lol
You'd be fine on a proper day Jack. No heroes out as everyone has all day to find a clear bit of track.
You should try Llandow...Cheaper and loads of fun.
/\ ill be going there regularly as i know alot of people from my neck of the woods go there
£80 for the full day iirc
I'd be tempted to get out on track at a non-action day at combe. Be worried about getting in everyones way though lol
I'd be up for a day on track there without all the banger racer fools out there

You'd be surprised how slow people go. :) its not a race.
