nothing has gone to plan for castle combe

[vxr-blacksheep]

Well as title says nothing has Gone to plan for my car this week in its prep for the weekend at castle combe.

Ok some of it was down to me leaving it to the last minute to get my wheels and tires , TD didn't have any 19" wheels for the astra in 1.2 or 1.3 so I thought oh well I ll just put the T888 on my standard rims only to find out they haven t got any in the size I need in the country at the moment as its an odd size for them , like I said really all my fault for leaving it till the week before , unfortunately that me to a tee lol.

But then after having my AST suspension on order a few weeks ago they confirmed at the beginning of the week that they still haven t got any and wouldn't be able to meet the date I required them by . So as I wanted some sort of full kit on my car for the weekend and seeing as regal had teamed up with KW, I though sod it I'd go for the V3's , unfortunately KW didn t have any kits in the country or anywhere for the astra . Luckily for me they pulled out all the stops and got there crack team in Germany to knock up one set for the astra just for me yesterday , which were then overnighted to KW UK for today and delivery to regal tomorrow for fitting .

So a big thanks goes out to KW and in return for there hard work my car will be adorning some KW livery if all goes to plan .

And a big thanks to regal as well for fitting my car in on Friday as it was all ment to be done yesterday but we had no bits to put on it .

All I can hope for now is that the rest goes to plan

Just look after you left front as that takes a hammering around Castle Combe, it's like driving around a big roundabout

Matt, it might not have gone to plan but the silver lining is at least you can make Castle Coombe, with some of the mods you had planned done.

Me I cannot even make it and even if I could, the car is nowhere near show condition at the mo, as I am awaiting loads of bits and pieces to be delivered, most of the interior is out and to make matters worse, I discovered this morning I have a flat rear tyre (which has worked out quite convinietly as it is the one wheel that needs a refurb).

cheers bo , , it been a while since the last time i was going round the combe , probably 10 odd years ago in a stripped astra gte with a redtop in it with no window demisters either and it was raining lol fun was an understatement , when all the other cars where going in the opposite way to the way i was facing the crowed loved it to say the least .
