no breakfast for me & + 1 will just be glad to convoy in with everyone once we have found a sat nav signal in the car :ROFL:

Neil, I'm "more likely", if not quite "definite" yet (as discussed by 'phone)....so 2 related questions:

1 - To you - what time's the BBB, and are there still spaces for that?
2 - To David - are you travelling down in the morning (unlikely), or the night before?

BBB is from 07:30 to 08:30 which is when we must leavevto head to Castle Combe (30 mins away)
Still spaces available - I need to know firm numbers for brekkie by Tuesday

Hi Steve,
I will be driving down early Friday leaving home at 0600ish so crossing the Manchester/Warrington line about 1000ish. Heading for south of Bristol to stay overnight. A bit early for you i suspect if we were thinking of joining ina convoy of two?

ADI signing on for track driving - commence 08:30
 

Hi all,

My joining instructions recommend "arriving 8am onwards for signing-on, the briefing sessions will commence at 08:30am in the Stratford Centre. The first laps will start at 9am."

If BBB is from 07:30 to 08:30 and we need 30 mins to get to circuit does that leave enough time for 09:00 laps? As a newby, just checking with those who have previous experience, since we have booked 6 track sessions. Subject to that, pleased to confirm 2 for BBB (Richard and Ben). Can you give us post code for Bolingbroke Arms please.

Cheers

Richardracer

See first post!! +++

Hi Richard
From past experience people arriving etc and chatting means we don't get breakfast under way until just before 8am quite often, and then leave at 08:30 to convoy 30 mins to the track arriving at about 9am or just after, so you would need to be there about 30-45 mins ahead of that.

Because you are staying at the Bolingbroke however, you may well be able to ask for brekkie for say 7am or worst case 730am sharp (speak to Jo the manager and she will let you know what they can do) so then you may be able to dash off to get there for say 8:15am and sign on and attend the briefing sessions from 8:30 to get on the track for 9am.

If you are in Swindon early enough on Friday evening let me know and I can either pop over and be sociable at the pub or even arrange some tickets to the local arts centre where there is a comedian on that evening, but I would need to know numbers to book tickets +++

No breakfast for me.
Any one from you guys come from London?

Big boys breakfast
 

Hi Neil,

I am not staying overnight, just driving down to Bolingbroke Arms for breakfast.

Cheers

Richard

Sorry Richard - I had in my mind that earlier you had said that you would be staying over the night before! :Confused:

Anyways I spoke to Simon at the Pub yesterday evening and told him that you may want to have brekkie at say 07:30 sharp and that can be arranged so that you can say hi then eat and dash off if you wish? Let me know either way for numbers etc.

Apologies in advance for the state of my D2. I have considered officially starting to refer to it as the rat look in defence of its bodywork..... ;)

Hi Guys & Girls,
Just to let you know I have decided to stay overnight on the Friday, so as to avoid the early start Saturday morning.
I managed to get myself booked into Lydiard House Conference Centre, Lydiard Tregoze, Swindon SN5 3PA for a great price of £40.
Bolingbroke wanted £70 for the night
If anyone fancies meeting up on Friday evening, either where I am staying or at Bolingbroke, can you let me know.
If not, I will see everyone for the BBB early Sat morning
Looking forward to a great day on Saturday. Lets hope the weather is kind to us
Thanks
David +++

Make that 2 adults brekkies Neil. If you serve her up a child one, she'll be eyeballing Mikes for pudding...... +++

We can go together if you happy i can meet you on M40

I'll be heading off about 6am to get my Big Boys Breakfast at The Bolingbroke so that probably isn't going to work for either of us. ;)

Ok no worries thanks

those of us meeting at the Bolingbroke Arms for the convoy to combe is it best to arrive promptly at 8:30am? +++

and to pick up the club stand pass of course

Yes please - aim for 08:15-08:20 and we will be leaving at 08:30 sharp after youve been given your stand pass. When you arrive at the gate they will ask you for £10 per head entry for each person in the car (unless you have bought track time in which case you will have an entry wrist band)

I presume from this none of your group is having breakfast? (Just need to know for numbers)

Just two days to go now before Audi Driver International 2016 at Castle Combe on Saturday October 15...

Plenty planned for you to see and do, with Audi UK pulling out all the stops to put on a great display in the central paddock. Their latest model line-up will include SQ7, A4 3.0 TDI Saloon, R8 LMX. S8 Plus, RS6 Performance and Q2
and you'll be able sign up ( over 17s only ) for the chance of a hot lap passenger ride around the track in the R8, driven by e-FPA champ Steve Warburton!

Audi UK is giving away 1000 goodie bags containing The Audi magazine + a USB stick and several other items...

Audi is also celebrating 20 years since its 1996 BTCC victory, with an A4 quattro on display, plus a replica of the 1980 Audi 80 GLE that Stirling Moss drove in the BSCC, as well as a 1979 80 GTE and a 2005 A4 DTM Edition.

Keith Butcher will have his Audi STW A4 No. SF 37 on display and AmD will be bringing their BTCC S3 along for display and demo laps on the circuit.

Plus: Show ’n’ Shine + Concours, a record attendance from the specialist Audi trade, many of whom will be running their demo cars on track, parade laps, club track sessions and some awesome club displays... Entry is just £10 per person, children free of charge, so don't miss it!

See www.audidriverinternational.co.uk for full details or call us on 01525 750 500 or email adi@autometrix.co.uk

Neil did you mention a lay by to meet in on the way to the circuit, for those of us not having breakfast to pick up our club stand passes?

Hi MikkiJayne

There is a layby half way down the A350 between the motorway at J17 and the turning right around the chippenham ring road, its about 2.5 km off the motorway - see map

We will be passing there at about 08:45-09:00am if you wait there +++

Thanks :) See you tomorrow!

Have a great time all, weather looks ok'ish for Combe, in the meantime I am heading off to Boston, Lincs and then Grantham from Hertfordshire in dare I say it, the Volvo.

Weather was great! :D

great day, great people! really enjoyed it! very welcoming great to meet you all!

Will dig out the few photos i took and post them up here at some point +++

Everybody else post up your photos :love:

Looked up the plate history for my cedar green from HPI check

S8WED was registered to this vehicle on 20/09/2001
L10GSR was registered to this vehicle on 08/06/2010

so its possible there is another!

Our parking zone - with a few cars off elsewhere (being driven or cleaned mainly):
People seem to be peering into my car, maybe wondering why I have a blue S2 door card on the back seat? :ROFL:

There's a D3 S8 (missing an undertray :rolleyes: ) at the end of this little lot.

Not sure if that MOVie file uploaded properly..... :Confused: (any advice gratefully received, it played OK on my PC before upload)

So here's a nice rare blue RS2 and an allegedly unique red S2 - only saloon imported to the UK!

It was slow to load but played OK. +++
Good to see you all on a good day out - ah, the smell of burning brakes in the morning. I will load some photos when I get back to bonnie jockland.

What were you viewing on David (device/OS/browser)? I uploaded via Internet Explorer (Windows 10) but that wouldn't then download it, though Edge did. :Confused:
(Google Chrome was fine too)

Thanks Guys im happy to be with you this day if you have ant question about LPG system im happy to answer. Great day fantastic weather lovely people. Thanks again
