After being booked for the club stand last year and not making it at the last minute (ill), I'm about to set sail in a while via picking my mate up, fuel, Lepsons and eventually Combe!!

Fingers crossed the weather isn't as bad as the VW Driver track day in September!!

Was a cracking day at Combe today! Lovely weather and the track wasn't busy at all!

Shaun's KPM prepared Scirocco looks the biz now, and goes very well on track.  :happy2: with bit more power you'll get closer to those pesky R8s I reckon  :wink:

Good to see Hedge and his mate Chris as usual, and simonp. JKM were also in attendance and brought along a couple of their customers. Unfortunately one of them with a K04'd Octy TFSI had an engine issue, dropped some oil and set the grass on fire! Safety marshals on hand straight away to put it out before it could do major damage. Engine might be kaput tho  :sad1: AA flat bed called to take him home.

Cheers Lee, glad you enjoyed your ride out! By the next track day I will have the power issue sorted maybe for a thrashing of them damn R8's, it was a close battle though which I must say I was very impressed with being as it's my first outing since the cage and a few other mods including being first time at Combe aswell. Good to meet some of yous off here aswell and glad the weather held out.
