I'm looking to test out my new crash hat.
(I was going to say helmet, but god knows what Jarvis' response would have been)

Well after a day at Coombe, the weather held off for some good track action.

There was a mix of cars ranging from Evo's old & new, BMW M3 Old version and then a highly modified Touring car spec M3. Also in attendance was afew GTR's, Noble, Skyline's and 1 unfortunate Skyline where it sounded like a blown engine.

A good day in all which ended with alittle play with an EVO 5 or possibly 6 on the way home through the Coombe lanes.

The moose did quite well, he was giving them a good run for there money. Cornering speed was unreal compared to the others, the car looked to grip with no impression of going wrong.

You say about the weather, as per usual heading back to wales from coombe, Bristol slightly cloudy but very dry. As you join the Second severn crossing, Wales is nowhere to be seen due to the extra thick cloud covering the coast from Cardiff to Chepstow, the traffic slowed to 30 mph on the motorway due to the seriosuly heavy rain.

I wish I stayed over there abit longer.

What bits did you get ?

Great day at Coombe, The Moose had a cracking day and the car performed brilliantly. Give a few of the more powerful cars a run for their money and put them to shame through the twisties, think it was down to his nav myself

Had a cracking day and really lucky with the weather ...
Had slight fuel issues and maybe a small missfire but the old girl kept going fair play...

Nick..

The only major problem was my navigator (Taylor) who seems too be aiming for the same body weight as me and if he carrys on eating i'm going too need about 600 bhp just too get around in a decent time ....
