Cant miss it, Atlas grey, rear bumper missing at the moment. Might put it back on after I robbed the towbar off it and fitted it to the mk2 Golf. saves some weight tho, not that it needs it

I did, and it was great fun in the Jetta 8) First time out mind ! The weather was nice most of the day but I managed to get caught out by going out again late in the day. The heavens opened !
had a couple of "moments" Went off on the second session twice :roll: The first i was too busy looking in the mirror while going round Old paddock bend and did a bit of grass cutting, no dramas their, But on the very next lap I went off in a big way at Tower. The back end overtook me going into the corner and before I knew it I was sliding sideways into the in field Phew, again no harm done.
The reason I went sideways was not my driving technique as I bled the brakes just before the session and forgot to remove the tie rap from the compensator on the rear axle, hence the full effort to the rear when braking 8O infact it was still in until I got home when I remembered what I had not done
Apart from that a great day was had, Oh and some of the driving from others was shocking at times as you can imagine. saw 2 corrados in the afternoon going round together and one of them went off at Camp corner ! anyone from here !

This was only my second trackday. The first was on the 23rd July at Coombe again. This was the Vag day. I was driving my Mk1 then, enjoyed it so much I managed to get hold of the Jetta from Turbotechnicsmk1 who posts on here for a mere 100 pounds! I have put some new suspension on it and thats it so far.
The first time I went out, it was a bit scary, I didnt pass anyone all day if I remember! Also didnt want to stuff the Mk1 either. But it is amazing how easy you learn the track session by session and your confidence grows.
The likes of the Vag days are the best to go to because the standard of driving is sooo much better, not like some of the muppets last weekend. Lost count the amout of times someone tried to overtake me on bends and in chicanes etc
Coombe is also only 8 miles away for me ! Nice circuit I think.
