Celebrating The Great British Sportscar. Combe

[benchmark51]

It was a nice enough day, our showing was a bit light though. I felt the day was all about parade laps and little else. Some traders or autojumble would have helped.
Ratbag broke just as I turned into my road.
The tee piece for the oil pressure switch and gauge snapped and dumped my engine oil on the floor.
Another bummer to sort out.

Well we enjoyed the day and a big thanks to Ian for giving us all a ride in his car. Also good to meet up with Martin (Freedom 1) and his wife Annette, Great looking Sylva Striker, hope you'll make it along to more events


My Fav car from the 80's DeTomaso Pantera




As regards Tony & Dixie, they've aways parked up with the Cobra club

[WALNUT]

Yes, I know that, but he put his name on our list, and if you look at the third post down on page one you will see that for your self. End of. but that was not the point I was having goes at all the other members that did not turn up, at least Dixie uses his car.

[Dixie]

Agreed back in January.  But the recent post of Colin I didn't, which is the one that counted.

Doesn't really matter, as you say I use my car, and most weekends.  Some people just enjoy having them parked in the garage to fiddle with.  Each to their own I suppose.

I thought it was an excellent day and enjoyed the parade laps too.  I was pleased to bring a smile to Brian, Anna and Joao - he has not fear that boy!  Delighted to meet Martin and Annette plus another new member to arrive soon.  The Cobra showing was particularly good too - Dixie's is still a favourite of mine and it sounded brilliant on the track.

I managed to tread that thin line between sun-tan and sun-burn although I still have some white bits to sort out on the beach.  Anybody who felt they may have missed something, I am still taking a small party to Hawkstone park in Shropshire on Saturday and there is still room in our convoy for more.  I know it will vary between 300 and zero but I cant't lose.  I am going anyway and know it is a great day out.  And when I get back I will tease you all with what you missed!

Colin, wise not to show with a hangover 25 Cobras caning it on the track was soooo loud!

[WALNUT]

LOL....I suppose that's what happened with you on the Cornwall run. and yes every one to their own thing. But why do they put their name down for these events.

[Moleman]

It's just the way it is guys. People put there names down but things may change & people can't make it in the end. I have had to grow a thick skin doing this job as it can get frustrating when this happens but I rather people put there name down to start with.
I just wish they would let me know if there situation has changed so I know they can't make it, you don't have to say why, just say you can't make it now. There are even times when I say I'm going & can't make it in the end.    

To be fair on Paintman he is having his engine sorted & would have parked with us & Dixie has always parked with the Cobra guys at this event but Parks with us on all the other events.

Got Ratbag sorted today, only lost about a litre of oil. Not going to use an alloy Tee piece again!
Bonnet mods (vents) have helped keep the temp down, but may do more

[paintman]

I definitely would have come but it's a long way to push a car with no engine!  

[WALNUT]

Tony, I think that is a poor excuse.
