makes me want to either not put much effort in to car cosmetics, or go very very carefully! ;D Its not that hard is it? |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

It looks like that corner's a little off camber.
I think yer mad to take your pride and joy or something expensive out on something like that. Well, not without adequate insurance anyway!!

think tharts quarry corner, its a gets a lotta people out because theres a slight uphill before it, ya get to the top, the car goes light and ya lose a bit of grip at the front. i might be getting confused with another corner though. been round castle combe a couple of times and thats the bend that they REALLY warn ya about.

Damn that explains it. I think i have had a much better alternative idea. though i will be stretching my retro' legs ontracks, it would be rude not too. |

Physics eh?
Cars end up going the strangest directions. That evo must have been hard on the brakes hence the straight line.
Quarry is THE corner at Combe. Lots of warnings on how not to be silly, and yet people always are.

I have been warned by many people about the standard of driving at Castle Combe days mind.

Yea, that's Tara the Toledo (I don't know the owner's name ;D) - it's got an 1850 engine and autobox, of all things. Maybe it was unexpected engine braking that got him.
I'm sure it was alright though ;D Maybe a foot shorter ;D

this is why I stay away from track days and "action days" a million and one retreads with no idea how to drive. I'm with you - never been on one - up here the local circuit (Knockhill) is big into MaxPants/Revs/FastTurd type days - hundreds of maniac 'hot hatchers' & track dayers with un MOT'd sheds trailered to the track. (no offence, if you attand KH with a well prep'd car btw, just I've heard and seen a few horror stories) I'd like to drive a circuit, but not with these monkeys. Maybe better just taking up Sprinting or Hillclimbing..... Hmm. |
