[crackle] Rick, Rick [fizzle] we're losing you... [fzzzt] come in, repeat, come in...

And why didn't a little blue car with yellow wheels compete at Combe today?

PS. Did anyone go to Combe? I got lotsa pics - three and a half films worth, though I must admit a lot will be paddock shots of lovely Mustangs and ... of course ... that TVR GT (not 6T) ;)

Not to worry, he'll be back next week :)
I went to combe, and had a good day.
The rain held off 'till the end, but it was bloody freezing as usuall.!
Some good racing.

I thought the Anglo - American boys put on the best show...

The 'Shagaur' (minus front end) was really impressive, espcially with all the oil pouring over the windscreen..

Real shame that the Cobra was way too noisy, but still some top notch cars..

Only six days to the next one.. lots of Alfas and other Italian cars.

So why did Rick miss the meeting? Money?

I'll post some pics when I get them developed tomorrow (probably).

Were you marshalling Dan? Where were you?

I checked out Bobbies for the first time - looking back up the track towards the chicane you can get some pretty good shots. Well, I hope they are.

AMOCs : I looked around the entire paddock three or four times to locate the TVR so I could get some pics. Then I noticed some mechanics working in the back of the Phil Stott truck (oops).

Pagids : What happened to Gus Singh? He disappeared on the first or second lap then at the end was towed back from somewhere.

Not sure why Rick didn't race, might be money, there is a race next week, which would mean £250 in two weeks!
Gus had a coming together with a pink fiesta on the start, so pulled up at Folly, he wasn't sure about the damage.
It turned out to be a little gash on the passenger side and a very badly marked alloy!

I see. So he could have carried on then?

I think so yes.
I have a picture, i will put it online soon

Jeff tells me he has a photo of Tim Hanlon's 'off' at Tower. Hopefully he'll post it up sometime.

I didn't get many pics of 'offs'. Everyone was behaving themselves where I was. Probably afraid I'd capture their faux pas for posterity ;)

Oh, BTW, Jeff is the bloke from autoimages.co.uk

Any requests, please ask

Cool pics mate, I'll put some up soon

I am extremely envious. That's all I can say. I'm so choked up I'm going to end it all live on 10T. Goodbye, cruel world.

OR, I could get that lens. But I've damaged my cash a bit with that Combe trip. Arse.

I have a request. I need a photo of a bright pink Bond Bug with a marmoset wearing a superman costume riding on the roof. But here's the crunch - the marmoset HAS to be carrying a crate of pot noodles. Think you can do it?

Leave it with me Graham, I'll see what I can find :)

I really do think we need to rename this forum "All Combe, All The Time" :)

THE LITTLE BLUE CAR

It will be play time again on the 1ST of MAY
so lets hope its wet again thats the only time you will see me move up to the front'ish of the grid
The reason why i missed the last race was shortage of cash

Rick, What race are the saloons on Monday?

Oh, and Graham, I can't help it if Combe is so popular in this forum ;)

That big red thing is a Camaro. Anyway, WHY do they bother to race that thing?!

I couldn't tell you what you will race, but I can tell you what I want you to race ... begins with 'M' ;)

How about buying an old Mini Van and put a DFV in the back...
