Fixed it :) it was the hose coming off the egr delete that popped off. Not the lower turbo hose which I first suspected :)

  • Enjoyed today, will give myself a push to get on track next time. I should of hopefully managed to get a picture of everyone. First time shooting any moving vehicles so could do with some improvemen

  • Why do we all do these events ? For the most part it's the chance to get together with other like minded Skoda fans. And also the chance to explore the speed thrill and handling of your chosen ride. W

That's good news, (recalling the day at near by Hullvington airfield track day when Yellow Peril split a slicone turbo to intercooler hose within the first five laps; turns out that a tractor radiator bottom end hose from a local argricultural spares counter was actually a pretty good fit :giggle: )

I should be there, although I will be taking my Pug 106 Rallye. Don't worry I won't park it near the Skoda stand :whew:

If I get any good snaps I will post them up. I must get more organised and actually get on track at one of these events.

Looking forward to this now. The work on the mongrel starts at 5pm - track wheels fitted, washed, boot packed with banner, PD engine :D, and ensure I have all the things for the track - helmets, passes, tickets...

Same here, get home from work and start loading up.

Looking forward to a good day and weather looks fine too. :)

I'm out in the sun giving mine its spring clean and detail. It better not **** it down as its like a mirror at the moment!

Looking forward to catching up with everyone tomorrow, see you at 6.45 sharp Jason, don't worry no Beer for me tonight!

Not doing any serious cleaning of mine. Simply cannot be bothered :D

I'll be there for 6.30 ;) Aiming to be in the show by 8am.

Well aloud myself the day off, spent the last 3hrs cleaning and polishing,

And it's just started to rain!

Will be leaving around 6am to get there for around 8.30am.

This show shouldn't be about how shiny your car is, its about how it goes :happy:

TBH, I think Castle Combe are letting themselves down a bit by letting these 'cruise' style clubs come in with their lowered and bodykitted up ****boxes... Its not what these days are about. When I first starting going to these days about 5-6 years ago there were no clubs like this showing!

Car washed, half polished and now its raining :(

Yep, just got mine cleaned and while I was waiting for a tankful of this new fancy shell fuel (still 99RON) it absolutely pished down.

Oh well. :D

Yeti now cleaned twice 5 days :p and twice I haven't polished the car as both times it's rained. Aiming to be at CC around 8:00 so will leave about 7:45 as its only down the road.

Thanks Jason for the discount brekkie voucher. :clap:

Car cleaned. Tyres fitted and fluid levels checked. Going to ask the wife to polish my helmet tonight and then I'm all sorted !

I'll chortle at your joke mate :D

My cars not its usual level of clean tho as hospital day trip and drugs have been higher priority

I did manage a wash n wax n wax n wax on the weekend tho and managed to rub it down after use all week

All this rubbing !!!! Tut tut what kinda forum is this

Badabing badaboom ;)

Going home in a bit, then getting some clothes together and heading to the Premier Inn. Will check tyres tomorrow but should be fine and not giving the car a clean.

See you tomorrow at some point. :thumbup:

How long are you prepared to wait? I can probably make it for just after then...

I'll stick mine through a wash and scratch if I can find one en route tomorrow.

Out of curiousity does anyone have a 4GB (or above) SD card (not SDHC) I could borrow? My ageing digital camera spits out SDHC cards in disgust and only have a 2GB card otherwise :(

well I am about to go to the unit (man cave) to mop the motor. the joys of dryness, and to sort the flipping exhaust.

Really not bothered. The aim is for a spot of chillaxing tomorrow, as well as doing the track etc. maybe buzz me when you're coming out the bottom of Telegraph Hill, and I will get on the M5 northbound gently :D

I just got to hotel already seen someone else here

My car is loaded - actually hell of a lot! PD engine bottom end, all the promo stuff, four wheels (decided to change wheels there due to possible tread issue) plus other bits still to go in!

Managed to give the car a quick clean and clay the worst bits. Hasn't been cleaned since before the last track day. Looks respectable enough but I'll do a full detail in a fortnight's time when I'm off. Need a full day ideally. Checked pressures which were all oddly spot on and I haven't checked for months. Checked the oil also fearing the worst given it's been well over a month since the last check and it hasn't moved from it's mark. Still have to setup my GoPro again and I may take my tablet to log my laps but haven't decided yet.

I swapped my front 888's around on the rims to try and get some use of the good part of the tread.

Got the albainian's down the road to wash the car (it actually has a shine to it for once).

Fingers crossed my brakes don't fail on track tomorrow :)

I am ready, car has been washed by the local east europeans and fuelled up. As long as it stays dry it should still be reasonably presentable when I arrive at Combe.

Theres someone trying to steal bossfoxs thunder. A yellow evo 10 is at the hotel :p
