Default Castle Combe Tomorrow - 28th April

Tomorrow is the Spring Action Day at Castle Combe, and I'll be there in my A8 D2 with a previous cars owners club which I help run. So if you are there, and see a load of Skodas (59 at the last count), you should see my 8 hiding away at the back.

Just back from the very cold and damp Spring Action day.

When our group arrived the club stand was lovely green grass, by the time we left it was a dirty muddy sludge.

We had a great day out, and the 28 members that went out on track on our club reserved track time enjoyed every minute. I dont think its to often that you see 25 Skodas on track, I wonder what all the spectators thought as a mixture of Octavia VRS's old and new, Fabia vRS's old and new and even a Yeti went past.
