Classic & Retro Action Day - Castle Combe

#1 Post by Mad Mart »

Classic & Retro Action Day
Saturday, June 28, 2014

http://www.castlecombecircuit.co.uk/eve ... ventID=629

I've just booked four track sessions for this event. It would be nice to see a few Dolly enthusiasts there. Food and beer available all day (strictly no beer for drivers obviously). Great for spectating as you can walk around the entire circuit.

My sessions are:-

10:15
11:45
13:30
15:15

Hope to see you there. :D
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. :boggle2: ... Still Sprintless.

Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.


2012 Porsche Boxster 981 S

It's looking very wet! My car was appallingly dangerous in the wet last time, I don't really fancy that again. :(

No worries my camera worked alright.
What happened to your car?

Mine is now all fixed and ready for it again in a couple weeks I just need to sort that leaky hub seal. My rear drum poured oil out when I got home!

Horrible grinding noise from the back. After a few miles it smelt of really hot gear oil... I think the diff didn't like the day :roll:
