October 9th. Anyone going to this?
http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/events/display_event.asp?EventID=272
I believe they're opening up the track sessions to all VAG cars this year, rather than just Audis.
-
Im going :driver:
-
All being well I'll be there. There is a list on VAGOC with a lot of people going.
-
Were you there Saturday just gone, Stu? Saw they had a club stand there
-
No I didn't get up there at the weekend Simon, Mrs vRStu was due to hatch our first on Sunday(which hasn't happened yet) so we were keeping a low profile :grin:
-
I should be there in some shape or form.
-
Ill be there :)
-
I'm there :smiley:
-
I will attend.
-
I'm gonna call them to see if I can have a stand in the main bit!!
-
The problem is that they don't like non-Audi's on stands Lee :sad1:
-
Well speaking to Mr Birkett lately things maybe different so we'll see. Don't ask don't get at end if the day. And they know I normally bring a top set off cars along that shows up the audis :signLOL:
-
Right I'm allowed a stand for this event. Need to know how many attendees/spaces are required. It's rather full of Audi's already but Mr B has kindly offered to squeeze us in. I've provisionally said 5-10 cars. Need to call him back on monday to confirm and I can co-ordinate the passes.
Who wants to be on a stand?
1) Chungster
2) Stokeballoon
3) Hedge
4) Tara ??
5) Simonp??
6) N8KOW ??
-
I'm a doubtful at the moment Lee. I may end up at Brands for BTCC.
1) Chungster
2) Stokeballoon
3) Hedge - maybe
4) Tara ??
5) Simonp??
6) N8KOW ??
-
Ah u going there for both days then? I thought about brands but gonna watch it at home instead.
Milltek are gonna be at Combe so guess phil might be there on sat and head to brands on the Sunday for the racing.
-
I shall be at combe, just debating if I should book some track time :driver:
-
I shall be at combe, just debating if I should book some track time :driver:
as a Milltek guest??? :happy2:
-
Nope not this time.
-
add u to the stand list or u guest for a.n.other tuner? :grin:
-
I think I will slum it with the forum muggles for this one :P
-
yeah the muggles won't show u up too much :wink:
-
Are you going to ring Neil to see if we can get some space :happy2:
-
rang him this morning.
will confirm on monday how many we need. give people time to show up on this thread.
if no further response, i'll just ask for 5 place plot and i'll send out the club display passes to those who want one.
he was trying to get me to book a track sesh tho. guess the numbers are still not quite there despite the display side being full. typical audi drivers...all pose no go :signLOL:
but we'll see :happy2:
-
It wouldn't be right if your not on the track :wink:
-
I was at this last year and it was really quiet. Good for people that want track time :happy2:
-
ive done castle combe twice this year and been to the Ring....car's done enough track work for the year. :smiley:
but the brakes are squealing like mad at the mo, so am tempted to do a couple of sesh to try and "fix" it :signLOL:
even tho thats not the way to fix it!!!!
-
I'm a possible/probable for the event.
Will be driving up after a 12 hour nightshift so won't stay the whole day and certainly won't be going out on track as I'll be a little jaded. Unless I'm invited for any passenger rides.... :innocent:
Had my GTI Revo'd at this event last year a few weeks after I got it. :smiley:
Then I got a ride in the REVO K1. That certainly kept me awake!
If you're running a stand I'd be more than happy to join you, but it may be a bit odd as so far I can see Lee's Scirocco and two silver mk6s going on a mk5 GTI stand :laugh:
-
Lol not weird at all! There's 2 Roc Rs, 2 Mk6 Gti's, 1 Mk5 Gti, 1 Mk5 fridge possibly....gotta show up these Audis you know!
Neil did say there's already one non Audi club display which surprised him and he doesn't want to turn this club away (he knows I've done a stand at castle Combe for many years) so he won't mind as long the cars are quality. :happy2:
-
Im hoping to go to this one, if im off work. Is that stand confirmed??
-
Stand is provisional but it'll be confirmed on Monday :happy2:
-
I'm guessing the other non Audi stand will be VAGowners Lee?
They seem to get a decent number of cars (and owners!) on their stand every time I visit Combe for a trackday and I ride up shotgun with some of them from there on occasion.
-
Nope its a very very small club actually...hence Mr B was surprised. They were there in July tho with 3 cars.
So we have confirmed at the mo for the stand....
1) Chungster
2) Stokeballoon (well I'll assume you want to be on the stand!!)
3) SteveP
4) Beezerdiesel
Anyone else who wants to be on the stand need to post on this thread ASAP before Monday cos I'm calling Autometrix then.
I will only request enough passes to get the peeps confirmed on this thread into the paddock display.
Cheers!
-
Oh go on then.
1) Chungster
2) Stokeballoon (well I'll assume you want to be on the stand!!)
3) SteveP
4) Beezerdiesel
5) Hedge

I have a mk5, if that's any help? :smiley:
-
if i have my car back then im in
-
My car is on the Shark Performance stand, plus its an Audi, but I'm gettin a mk5 next, promise :P
-
So 6 confirmed and 2 maybes. Will call Mr B shortly.
-
Club display confirmed for 10 cars. I will pm people for their addresses so I can send you the passes. See you next Saturday. :happy2:
-
Cheers Lee :happy2:
-
To save on stamps we could meet beforehand, say at McDonalds in Chippenham for example? That's what I've done before on other days at CC. McMuffin, coffee and off up the road to Tiddleywink!
-
Could do but people aren't always able to get their on time for 9am etc so I don't mind posting the passes out to each person really like I've done previously.
-
They should get out of bed earlier then! :laugh:
I'm only 20 mins away, so I'd still be happy to meet at a greasy spoon if anyone else was up for it?
-
My car is on the Shark Performance stand, plus its an Audi, but I'm gettin a mk5 next, promise :P
Didn't know Ben had a stand. :smiley:
-
Club display passes have arrived! :grin:
-
Thanks for the PMs chaps. Passes being sent out first class today :happy2:
-
Got it, cheers! :happy2:
Do you know which area will we be in yet?
-
Mine arrived this morning, thanks Lee. :happy2:
-
Nope never find out until you get there on the day! It won't be a prime spot as it is an Audi show after all. VW had theirs in July
-
On the grass towards Quarry then!
-

When I was there for the Spring Action Day we knew in advance. :confused:
I'm sure Mr B knows but with this kind of event it's not as busy as the others so there's more room for flexibility.
-
That's why I asked. When I've been before the passes have had the stand location on them and the gate marshals can point you the right way as you come in.
-
Spring action day isn't run by Autometrix! Course Mr B knows where he's putting us but rarely do clubs find out in advance if it's run by AUtometrix. And I doubt we're up at quarry.
-
Ah Ok Lee. I will take a guess at somewhere not a million miles away from where we were on the Golf day. :smiley:
-
Lol yeah I'll accept that :wink:
-
My coathanger arrived this morning too. Thanks Lee :happy2:
-
Let's hope the weather is similar to today, I'm in sunnies and short sleeves.
-
may have to bring the new weapon to this :smiley:
-
The forecast looks good for Saturday. Might just venture out on track.
-
Ill be up for going on the stand if its still avalible??
-
My stand pass will be available as for most of the day as I will be on the track (and the milltek stand) :laugh:
I will bring the forum gazebo for the forum stand just in case of the weather being bad :happy2:
-
Chungy, the lads are taking the Bora down. It'd be rude not to have a duel.
I'm at Snetterton on Friday, so will be ruined and many miles away come Saturday morning.

Hey up Lee, thanks for setting this up. Great time. Did the mod in an hour at home, and didn't need to remove or loosen the armrest at all, all done now.
Cheers again Lee, and great to see everyone else, Ian (AKA steer like you stole it Hedge) displayed his number of cylinders to me, and I woke when he had finished!
Good turnout of VW's at the Audi show!!!!!!!! a GTi, 2 R32's, 2 Rocco R's and an Eddy even a Skoda!
:driver: :driver:
-
no worris about the stand..just glad people did turn up lol.
and well done on the cup holder swap.
i was surprised at how many people ventured over to our wee display to nose at our cars tho. :grin:
i can't believe Scirocco World got a prime plot for 5 cars yet they only had 2 on the stand all day! Grrrrrr
-
Was a good day! Nice to meet some of you :)
-
Didnt know you guys where there or I would have wondered over. I was with the VAGoc lads.
Did any of you guys speak to the chap who owned the matt black RS? :scared:
-
nope but i did speak to Ed briefly about it.
so is yours Revo'd up now or u gonna do the Sportec Turbo upgrade pack???
:popcornsoda:
-

:popcornsoda:
Ermm difficult question. The sportec RS owner sorta rubbished the revo cars and was saying how much faster his car is but it didnt look any quicker than jamiekips revo TTRS even though its apparently 50hp down, and I spoke to a guy in a leon sport with a maxxed out k03 who said the sportec RS was quick but not 480bhp quick when they were tussling it out on track!
I also like the switchability of the revo, but revo arent gonna be doing a hyrbid map for it.
Waiting on sportec to get back to me about prices for the hyrbid process, but after seeing jamies car pretty much being on par with the v10 r8 id say revo.
-
Hello guys and gals,
Nice to meet some new peeps today and get a little insight into VW ownership (only 3 or 4 weeks for me so far). There were some stunning motors there today and I think I need a new zorst after seeing so many nice tailpipes that make mine look inadequate!
Thanks to Lee for sorting the pitch out and thanks to whoever it was started the thread and started the ball rolling. :notworthy:
-
Cheers again Lee, and great to see everyone else, Ian (AKA steer like you stole it Hedge) displayed his number of cylinders to me, and I woke when he had finished!
Remember the drink you had. Nuff said! :wink:
Good day and a cracking turnout. Last year it was so quiet compared to this year you wouldn't believe.
Thanks for setting this up Lee. :happy2:
-
Thanks Lee for arrange the stand :happy2:
Had a cracking day and really enjoyed the track time :driver: :driver:

Apologies (esp to Lee) for my no show. Got home off my night shift with headache, took a couple of paracetamol and sat on the sofa with my laptop, next thing I knew it was about 10 in the morning and I felt like crap. The joys of shift work folks (study hard at school kids and get a proper job).
Was looking forward to the show too and has spent ages making sure the car was immaculate then not using it all week beforehand :sad1:
-
I watched some on track action for a short while whilst passing coombe early afternoon
Does anyone know who was on track in a black mk5 tdi? The whole session I watched he was glued to the rear end of a blue S3 who looked to be trying to loose him the whole time, until the golf seemed to outbrake the S3 going down into tower!
S3 didn't seem too impressed being overtaked by a diesel.

I see your point. Just think of them as spares :wink:
I went and parked up at Quarry for a while and when I returned you had gone :sad1:
Regarding camera's I use these guys. www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk They are Nikon and Pentax pro dealers :happy2:
