Another great day at Combe! Thanks to all who turned up, we had a pretty big stand as we shared with TV and Fast Ford, and the sun stayed out which was a bonus (especially for Dan as he was a stand monkey today, mincing around getting his show feet again lol)

My engine lasted exactly ONE lap. I entered the track from the pit exit, and one lap later I was stopped just after it on the grass lol. I beat my crankcase hole record though, this bastid opened up a treat, exposing two cylinders! However, in that lap I managed to own Oli and Dar who were obviously slower than me (it had nothing to do with me abusing the warm up lap lol)

I can safely say Dar had the quickest car on track today. NOTHING could touch him. I was filming from Quarry, and he started the session from halfway down the second lineup in the pits. In 3 laps he was at the front of the field! The cars a credit to him, and I really cant imagine whats going to happen when he decides to start tinkering with the engine! People were exclaiming such expressions as 'fcuk me', 'holy sh1t' as well as others. It definately caused a buzz.

Due to my car prolapsing all over the track for the second time this season, my camera was availiable to pop into Chris' car. We bolted it in and got some much needed footage of the least known member of Banzaiundersteer lol It was the first time ive been out with Chris as he's usually my passenger monkey, and I was very impressed. You tend to forget that while your improving your skills, so are your mates, and I thouroughly enjoyed myself!

I also had a go in the 'Magic Carpet' that was Stu's VX. It was immensly quiet. No noise but the sound of the wind buffeting your helmet (it was also buffeting my crash hat) Stu also impressed me, ive a feeling the driver skills day actually WAS worthwhile, and he piloted the resin rocket around wonderfuly, nursing small doses of oversteer with ease and always being courteous to faster cars. Dar lapped us during the session, and I abused the lack of roof to dish out some abuse lol

Other interesting events happened during the day which will no doubt transpire, but its not for me to go into as yet.


I am currently rendering footage... :thumb:

My day was also pretty exciting. I was in contention with lee for least laps completed during the day for a while. My first run I think I managed about 1/3 of a lap before my engine died. Got towed back into the paddock by the nice marshals, opened the bonet to look for the problem only to find every thing looked as usual. Jumped in the car, started the engine and everything was fine. :confused:

Second session. I was intent on making one complete lap as there was no way I was going home without being able to say that I had driven all of the corners at Castle Combe. Luckily I did manage to complete a lap, but only just as I then broke down in exactly the same place as last time.

The story goes on a bit more but the end of it is that I ended up going home on a tow rope.

Money spent on track sessions ?65, laps completed 1 & 2/3 :thumb: lol

I did have an extremely interesting ride with Dar's Old Man which had me grinning from ear to ear. It's a shame about the events that happened after, I have already registered my disgust on a certian forum and was banned about 30 seconds later. lol

All in all it was great day and I will definately be going again.

08-09-07, 11:51 PM
There are none, as they obviously want to keep quiet about it. I can assure you this wont be kept quiet lol But as I said, all will become clear.

I should of popped up really it's not that far from 'ere.

Im gussing the sunroof is up on Chris' to increase the downforce to try and keep another big block on track? lol No, the team looks ace flying round, probably gained a few more nova lovers by the sounds of the comments about Dar's car...


Sorry to hear about your mishaps Geth, bit of a shame. Any ideas of the problem??

Lee
09-09-07, 12:24 AM
oo, a big puff of smokage lol

Geth
09-09-07, 12:53 AM
Dar, you absalutely nailed that Ferrari lol Even my new friends the Marshals couldn't belive how quick you were and they must see thousands of cars go round that track.

Unfortunately I still don't know what is up with the car. I was thinking most of the day it was a problem with the coil but have since ruled that out by fitting a spare one and having the same problem. My thoughts are now swaying to fuel starvation at high revs, possibly a clogged up fuel line or filter. We were initialy thinking about fuel surge but it has since cut out on me while doing a steady 60 down the M4. Although I do agree that a GSi tank would still be a good idea as a winter upgrade.

Ernie
09-09-07, 01:08 AM
I think Dave Marshal has 1 for sale on here fella pm him or let me know and i will give him a call for you.
Can i just say that mine went realy well today as well and a credit to hammer racing.

Stuart
09-09-07, 09:51 AM
twas just the kick up the **** i need to take the vx out on track more.
It behaved perfectly (although the sodding archos was playing up and wouldnt record for mroe than 5 seconds after the first outing, which got corrupted :( )

Dar is just mental!!!! especially going past us in a mild bend with both his hands off the wheel abusing us back lol

Ill get "my" (dan took em) pics up later.

09-09-07, 10:32 AM
all i could do was :D

Dars car is awesome, you can certainly tell he knows the track and the car it made me want another nova for sure. I'd never done coombe before and it was my second snippet of track action and i think im hooked. I certianly need to work on certain lines eh BT lol. But i managed not to break down or blow anything up and got round the track a good few times in the two sessions oh and drive home without a problem 500ish miles round trip. AND YOU CALL FRENCH CARS :p

Shame about Lee's engine but he did it in style :D well done fella lol.
Another quality day some good banter the burgers were well dodgy mind, certainly good to meet up with you lot again and seeing dan twice in two weeks is certainly enough for me ;) stu had certainly grown since i last saw him the vx did him proud and im sure he'll be out a lot more.

Highlight of the day - Bonzai fist of fury and the rarri getting owned by a nova :)
Oh and the reaction from the red xe nova on 45's cam and stripped out sus etc when i told him mine was virtually standard :D that made me proud of the little french number lol

General Baxter
09-09-07, 10:36 AM
oo, a big puff of smokage lol

i think baxtered should be changed to Bt'ed lol

Dan
09-09-07, 10:58 AM
yet again another successful day. First off well done to those who ventured out on track, we have a few more who would happily join in with alot more track action and the track regulars were doing their normal thing :thumb:.

Banter wise our stand had its normal array of various styles lol . GT stole the 'gay' marked parking space, which having a french car was spot on although stu did look upset when he arrived. Quote of the day "morning you've got ermmm bigger??" first words spoken to stuart from GT, trying to be polite but calling him a fat **** non the less lol lol . Dougie trying to be sneaky and catch a small bit of a tan with his moobs out, unfortunately i spotted this, and he was surrounded in camera's within seconds as he hurried to cover up again lol lol . GT using the fatal words "come on then" towards me, i think within about 2 seconds he realised it was a non winner ;) lol obviously lee got abused with his spot of bad luck ;) and that is just a SMALL account of what happened at the start of the day, it was fairly relentless until hometime at 5ish with everyone having a good laugh during the day which is what the atmosphere should be all about.

Brilliant day, went out in 4 sessions with my mate in his cav v6, Had Dar 1 car ahead of us in 1 of the sessions as we left pits, and by quarry he was gone! lol Then he passed us at the last bend as the chequered flag came out, I cannot believe how well that thing goes as we were by no means hanging around!! Bad luck on yours Bottlethrodie bet your gutted, although when I spoke to you, you said you knew it wouldn't last, stil not good though.

Nice to meet you by the way Dar, also Bottlethrodie and Geth. Always nice to put faces to names.

Top day, was my first time out on a trackday and even though it was just as a passenger it was mint, loved it!!

And this what I found when I took the filter chamber of my fuel regulator. It appears to be some very dirty fuel mixed with water. :confused: Might go some way to explaining the running problems. The next task is to find out how the hell it got in there.

09-09-07, 07:25 PM
Talking about the 'Feel' of the day. I should really say a big thank you to everyone who tried helping me with my running problems (which was actually just about everyone). That's the kind of club spirit that makes these days worth while even when you're having rough time with the car. Cheers fellas :thumb:

fantastic pics, came out really well :thumb: and as already said, its goes to show the atmosphere we try and maintain at each show, generally welcoming and making sure everyone has a fun time/gets roped into the banter. I'm not normally the physical type, but as rex weighs about as much as my last meal it was amusing to react for a change join in the whole play fight scenario ;) lol

No its an XE. It was going really well IMO, deffo had lots of pull out of last corner onto start/finish straight.

Sorry I must've missed everyone on sat. I walked over to the PNG area & only Dans car was there, I guess everyone was on track. I didnt get back over there for rest of the day.

Watching all the other Vauxhalls out there was too good to miss.

I am totally blown away with Dar's pace on Sat, the session I saw he was at the front of the second line out, he joined the circuit half way through the pack & by the start of his 2nd lap he was in 3rd behind 2 handy RWD Escorts (I have a vid of this), then he went on to Blitz the whole field.
I was lovin the straight cut whine from his box from way down the other end over Avo rise.

Looking at that line is funny, its totally wrong i've no idea why i went so far over as there was no need to do so.

That was the only real corner i had problems with i guess you get used to it and know wbere to brake and turn in etc. Some good footage mr Lee cheers mate. You can still call the french car but you know it shifts now :P lol

first time i have had chance do get on line and a big thanks to mr lee for the camera and dar for taking me out even tho you did scare me over avon rise as your braking point's have changed a lot lol i did have a very good day and was nice to see some new face's.The car went well all day again so over the winter i will treat it to coil overs and a bit more power and sort my valve stem seals and remove my gsi toys (electric windows sun roof and my lovely dash and heater)

I'm totally gutted I didn't make it, but what the mrs says goes and I wasn't allowed to cut our holiday a day short.
Although I did drive past on the M4 at 2.00ish and thought of everybody.
Some brilliant photo's and video's of the days events and it looks like everybody had a good time.

Yeah, lovely car, never seen one in the flesh before. It seemed to be atracting a lot of attention even from non vaux/nova owners. I think the owner may be joining PNG soon too.

Riggy
