Hey All, thought I'd be the first to post up some pic's from the Castle Combe meet yesterday. Had a fantastic time and Rach thoroughly enjoyed the track session. Here are the professional pic's that we bought on disk:

This is the only pic we took, Denise trying to get used to her panoramic mode

Good pics Tim, car looks cool and Steve was taking it very easy, must have been warming his tyres up!

That is a great shot - well done Denise - never played with a panoramic camera before, but impressed with that piccy.

Steve wasn't taking it easy...he flew past me...but suppose I was driving like Miss Daisy!...I only got to just over 100mph! LOL!!!!

Well, what can I say?? Fantastic weekend, the weather was not very kind to us, but it still never dampened our spirits.. BIG BIG BIG Thank you to Andy & Karen for a well organised weekend and the great meal on Saturday night.. Thanks to Matt and Pete for cooking and providing equipment for doing so.. (y)
It was really good to see everyone again and meet some new people too.. (y)
Congratulations to Tim and Rach on their engagement.. :D
Thanks to Andy for sorting the door thing out, I have just realised we left the old one outside the hall.. I was going to ask you where the skip was?? Sorry Andy.. I hope it's not caused you any problems?? :giggle:
Great to see Tim, Ian and Steve on the track... all 3 cars looked superb out there, even if Tim looked like he was in reverse.. and held up traffic.. :LOL:
Only kidding mate... (y)
The track action this year was excellent, as Matt said, It's meant to be a amateur track day, It's more like touring car champions... :D There where some very nice cars around too... Cat spent half the day walking around going me want, me want... :D
Right Pic's....

That is mega brilliant John, loving it. However, why can I not find it on Youtube without going through the link on here? What title is it under? I looked for "UKCougar Track Action" but it didn't bring up your vid?? Still love it though, what a brilliant day.
 
Must be something strange about how Youtube handles it's search. I've tagged it with "ukcougar.com" so should be easy to find now (y) :)
 
It looks like everyone had a smashing time and some new faces too!
I love all the photos and video too. iv never seen the cougars on track video.
well done all!
