What corner were you at today at Combe?
If you were at Tower you would have been a bit busy ;)

Tower was certainly busy if you were a marshall.
Geoff Thorne, I think it was, had a big one into the tyres, two from the Fiat Challenge also had a big crash at the same place.
Jonathan Spencer-Jones in the GTs and a MGB both went straight on at Tower into the tyres.
Photos should be good, will post some on Wednesday hopefully.

The one day when it's not cloudy and cold and I don't go to Combe. Bloody typical.

Did you take your Herald?

Bob walk away with the race in the GTs?

Pantera? TVRs?

Can't wait to see the pics!

Lots of action at Tower..... whilst I was at the Esses!!

Good action all day though, very good racing - and those Dutch / German Alfas were good for half an hour..

Mr Light breezed away from the gaggle of LM3000 - an extra wing now on the front as well..

FFords were good again, however Barnes came back down with a bump..

We has a Radical (the PNC one), off hard - something broke and it went hard left on the straight, big accident.

Also, a Rover Tomcat had a huge acccident in the Pagids, looked a bit written off..

I don't think the 220 turbo is written off, It was a very big bash though!
The blue Fiesta was taken front and back...OUch........
Gus Singh had trouble in Practise and didn't start, and Richard Broadhead had contact and a spin. Oh, and an oil pipe failure.

Anne King was involved with the Rover Tomcat accident.. which looked all rather large. Did anyone see what happened?? I'm not sure from where I was standing..

And also Geoff Thorne in the GT's was lucky to escape unhurt from his accident.. any photos???

Only four weeks to loads of Minis!!!! Excellent....

What do you mean "loads of Minis". Am I ignorant .... of something?

Well on the 29 May..

Combe has Super Migthy Minis, Mighty Minis, Mini Se7en's, and Mini Miglia's all racing on the same day!!!!

Bring 'em on....

Oh dear. I'll HAVE to be there, I'm afraid.

Why isn't there an icon for drooling? ;)

DAN THE MAN
One day I will get to meet you
Trouble is all these marshals look the same
I always think were is he as I slow down after the race.
The little coming together between the Rover and Fizzer was quite nasty only just missed the rover thank goodness I was not asleep

Graham,

The Herald was there with me.
Below is the Pantera, the new TVR Tuscan Speed Six and the Cerbera Speed Six.
Also a nice little blue car :)

Bet your looking forward to the next meeting Graham?

We really do need an icon for drooling.

That Pantera looks sooooooooo cool, but it isn't the BRDC one. The one above looks older and the orange/ yellow monster didn't have the wing.

Incidentally, did anyone at Combe on the 24th April see the red Pantera in the paddock? In amongst the Janspeed Saloons.

I saw that exact same car at Silverstone in about 1993 alongside a lot of Mini Se7ens. Just wondering who owns it. Looks amazing.

Anyway, TVRs .... I still don't like the new lights on the Tuscan and Cerbie GT. Ugleee. But then I thought the Speed 12 beast looked ugly to start with and blind worship made me love it after a while :)

Is that a Chimaera or Griffith behind the Cerbera? I can't quite see.


Rick,

Selling the car? Have we worked out what you're racing next season(?) yet?

One question.... The picture of the TVR's. What is the light blue car - I thought it was a Chimaera with a body kit on it... Or have I missed something rather major..

I do know that the car (or its identical twin) lives in Winchester as it was right up my butt cruising through town. It was also followed by a rather nice Elise, which all made my MG Midget look rather pathetic!!

Also didn't realise that Mr Hanlon has the ouright lap record in the Pagids!!! - going to match it Rick?? You're car looks spot on, are you racing in any other series also??

Are you sure it is the outright record that Hanlon holds?? Don't forget that the class A record was beated on Monday!!
You are right also, Rick's car looks the business doesn't it :)
A sure contender for the best looking car in the padock trophy :)

I trust you mean the car in the foreground?

That is the new Tuscan Speed Six, a wholly new car inc. chassis. It looks more like a Griffith with different front lights, rather than a Chimaera which is a completely different body style altogether.
