Apologies if I seemed rather vague on the day (no change there then) but I'm getting deaf and background noise doesn't help. If I wear hearing aids they just amplify everything. Sorry.
As said in another thread, thanks to Charlotte for making all the arrangements

Huey & I thought we were going to be the only ones there for a while



but later the ranks filled out and it was even sunny




I must say the Combe is full of surprises



and I'll try and upload a video of this fella on the circuit

Finally, it looks as if the mini tradition is already being passed on

Only just got home , will upload my photos tommorow. Managed to have my exhaust fall off, fuel tank empty itself, tyre split open and chunk out of the rear bumper. Then got towed back with a rope because the recovery refused to recover me...
Other than that it was a brilliant day.

Loved your pickup Long term goal(once i have my own house/garage) is to get and restore a pickup. Glad you chose to restore after the suspension collapsed(?) looking brilliant!

Oh yeah and a quick thing. Whilst driving home back down the road from CC towards the cross hands hotel heading towards the M4 there was an Mini estate i think it was on the side of the road pretty bashed up. Looked like it had ploughed into the hedge and rolled? Anyone know what happened and if the driver was ok?

Photos are now uploaded here.. will trim out the better ones have a fiddle on photoshop and upload properly eventually.

Teapot- when I saw you, you didn't seem at all vague. I'm sorry, but if you want to appear vague you will need to try harder

Thanks everyone for sharing photos, I forgot to take any! It was a great day out, as Combe always has been in my experience
