Paul, that first one's excellent.
You should have that as your avatar.
Looks like it was a lovely day - unlike at Brunty (I'm STILL damp)! :lol:
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

Start a new one....... WelshMod will still be celebrating and will probably miss it, so you won't get told off for starting too many threads. :twisted:

I've asked Club Lotus for a place at Castle Combe again this year and await to see if I get one. Even if I don't get track time I may well take a trip to Castle Combe anyway as it's fairly close to me (hour and a half or so).

don't you usually book earlier than this Nige?
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Don't know if they are fully booked or not as I don't yet have a reply and yes I do normally book earlier than this but have rather a lot of other stuff on at present and it stayed on the 'to do' list a bit longer than it should have. I'll post when I know.

Update:

Got home tonight after a few days away and my Castle Combe confirmation was waiting in the post so I'm in again this year :D .

It will be mechanically standard, but with most of the weight saving done. I'll do some Elan scan runs with the standard turbo set-up, so I have a benchmark for the tuning. I need to find a drag strip too. :-D
