Looked like a great day out despite not brilliant weather. Would have liked to of come along but finally got somewhere to sort my car so spent some time on that.
Car looked like it went well Olly, Also good to see so many novas out on track together.
Well done on your first outing Adam, bet you loved it?!
Ian
Yeah mate, first time on track, first time for the car too.
Definently want to do a lot more track days.
Even considering getting another runaround and making the nova a full track car :cool:

was nice to meet you all again and olly, shame about the wether but good to blow the winters cobwebs away, my first run was good fun with no grip and the second run in the heavy rain i did 1 lap 3 cars spun in front of me and i think the car thought sod this and started to missfire and i had to go back to the stand:cry:
Was a good day out, the weather meant I chose to spectate rather than mingle tbh. I was having too much fun watching the number of Novas out there, most I've seen at Combe I reckon.
Olly your car looked awesome (down to tyres now I understand), Lee yours looked very well too & Adam despite your comments on suspension, I'd say yours was possibly cornering the flattest (thats what I though to myself anyway).
Great viewing, I have a few pics but they are pretty shoite' tbh.
ack - Craig, never even knew you were there... should have come and said hello!
next time gadget, next time...
Were you there CG???? Didn't know,Lol.
Did you come along to the png stand?
Cornering the flattest is probably down to a slower speed through the corner.... ;)
I was going to ask where the feck you got to Craig lol
Ad, we were cornering at the same rate mate ;)
That did cross my mind. lolQuote:

The one time I walked through the paddock I did clap eyes on the PNG tent but was with a mate & we were making our way to the car to get me a hat.
Had a good day there, although the weather was a bit crap. Good to catch up with a few people.
Adam, Craig was with me when you wandered past with the door cards.
Was only there till just after 2 though as i was soaked, dropped my gearbox off with a fella from mig and made our way home. Will try to stick some of my pictures up tonight.
Oh right lolQuote:

Yeah it was, i recognised a few faces but didn't know who Pete was, so wandered off down towards the Mig Stand and rang him for him as i was going down that way to talk to security on the gate about me getting the car down to the mig stand save carry the gearbox too far.. Confused a few people by wandering round in our MR2 Only Magazine coats!! lol
Yeah pete said about you seeing tom, thats when it clicked.
When wherre you there walking up the mig stand i was stood staring at you.. Then told pete it was you..
Hi Guys!
I recently saw your forum address attached to the side of a car on the Castle Combe circuit at their Performance Car Action Day on the 19th April. I was in attendance in a professional capacity, and just wanted to let people know that proof copy of all 521 pictures worth showing can be browsed at www . freebird-photography . com / combe (scuse the spacing but I can't post links):)
Hope you like them, if you have any questions or wish to optain a hard copy, I will not be checking this forum account. I can be contacted at orders@freebird-photography.com :D If you have a track day coming up that you need covering, please don't hesitate to contact me!
All the best, and thanks for being there!
Ben

not this time as we don't have a stand, but bring the nova anyway and take it out
if i can get it running properly i will getting it around a bend will be fun i expect lol
Probably popping up for a nose about, hopefully in the nova, not on track tho :(
I'm up there but on the weekend after...
whats the weekend after?
How did I not here about this????
I though the next event of interest was eurofest......
its a c;assic and retro day iirc
Aye, I dont bother arranging a club day for this, as the sessions are limited for our class of car, and its uber close to PV.
Only a few pics as I got there very late. 'Gay Nav' took us down a tiny track which my slammed festy ground out on several times - some very nasty noises.
Arrived to see some light yellow nova giving it hell, but never seen the car before...
Had a wonder around the paddock/carpark and found some tasty cars. Suprised at the turn out TBH I thought it was just a track in the middle of a field.

Sorry for the Imp, the old man has a thing for them - that one wasn't hanging about tho ;)
WooHoo - Look at him go!
cool pics ash nice one mate:thumb:
the car was on form today can't fault it, apart from needs a bit more power now but it all money might even be a c20let :D but just a thought at the min.
What is the spec of your car Chris? Standard XE? Dunno what anyone else thinks, but turbo power on track? Personally I'd go N/A or 'charged :cool:
