Turbo Mini Forums

On Saturday the 28th of October is the Castle Combe Stroke Association Charity day. I have been involved with this event for 11 years now and again i have been asked to supply a car a drive for the day.

For those of you that don't know it is a great day where you splash your cash and get a ride in a sexy motor around the circuit, all of the donation goes to charity. Us drivers supply the cars,fuel etc.

The range of cars is awsome, porsche, ferrari, Corvette, Radical, Westfield, the list goes on.

Many of the members on the forum, (including Nicky especially) have been and are addicted to this event.

Competition time.

I would like someone who is not a computer spaz like me to design a flyer/poster/banner call it what you will, to advertise the event. This advert i will post on as many car related forums as possible and email it to everyone in our addresses.

Something Large, bold,date,day,time (10am until 5pm),venue(Castle Combe race circuit,Wiltshire,J17 M4).Simple to read and to the point.

Obviously i would like Good pitures of my Metro and Mini with www.hc-racing.co.uk included. Also the stroke association symbol etc.

Use the links below to find pictures and details...

I think i have everything covered.

Venue, date, time, The charity, etc etc

THE PRIZE!!

A 5 lap session in my Metro AND i will organise a ride in a car of your choice(allthough many drivers are very busy so within reason)

The rides can be given to a friend or loved one etc just as long as i have a name.

Remember, it is all for charity mate.



So a fortnight i will judge it.....

Thanks in advance.

I'll give this a go later :)

Wicked....

Ta Nicky.

I am firmly in the "computer spaz" category unfortunately!

So I'll leave this to the more gifted computer drivers amongst us!

But I will be going to the stroke day in October.

I can do you one in felt-tip and crayon???

That is an idea, save the hassel, crayons, paper, digi cam.....

doh.

im wondering who i can bribe with manley love in order for them to do a flyer lol

Good event this one...

It was a blast at lunch time on track in my BMW 540...

Someone from on here went quite while going round hehehe

cool, is it usually that late in the year?

the weather will decide if i come on down in the mini,or what ever else i have in the time, but ill try and make this this year

Oh er. I'm trying right now and not getting very far.

Ah bugger, wanted to come but no chance for us this year....

If you want something 'techie wizz' i can send it over to miniresource, if you dont mind, might be able to get a couple of the graphic designers interested over there. only if u dont mind it being copied over?

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

great event, great cause, defo try and make it again this year

no good on posters though, so i guess i'll have to pay for a ride out in the metro!!

im gunna go this year, how much do you roughly pay to go out in the cars?

either 20 or 30 squid depending one whether its an exotic or not.

well worth it

has tom put his paint brush talents to good use yet?

This year it is £30 to £50, but as the days goes on they are normally to happy to take a tenner if the drivers are willing.

Alot(not all) of the "exotic" stuff, ie, Ferraris and Porches etc are realy tame compared to hard core race cars, weather it be a Golf or Mini etc etc.

In the Mini at the same event previously i put to shame an Audi R6 , an Exige and most road going exotics.

Somebody mentioned rain, so what, the green tent always goes, as do lots of brollies.

And if it does rain, jump in a Porsche with Nick Faure and spend 10 minutes of your life sideways at 120mph.

Another fantastic car going is my best buds MK2 Golf with a 20v turbo lump in it, it has had plenty spent on the handling so is a great tool.

Come on, we are having a TM Meeting.

Nick Faure was excellent round combe!! enjoyed it a lot!

I think I'm done with my competition entry, there's something not quite right about it, but I haven't got the time to spend a month looking for what's wrong - haha!

JF - do you want it posted here, or should I email you with it?

Also, if you want any changes made to it, just let me know.

Nicky

Please bung it up on this thread!!

Many thanks Nicky.

Ok, here goes. Click on it to enlarge to full screen as the font might not come on perfectly with the forum restrictions.

I hope it's ok :/

Wicked, loving it..............

Keep them coming!

JF.

I am also hoping to be driving at this event again, I did so last year and thoroughly enjoyed the day, so much so that in addition to the cost of fuel and tyres etc I also personally donated £60 to the Stroke Charity myself.
In addition a few members of this forum also had a ride out with me and I think most of them enjoyed themselves too!

It will be nice to catch up with the usual suspects and as always it is nice to meet other members of this forum in person.....

I hope to see some of you there this year.

(Nicky; can you send me a copy of the excellent flyer you have done, or a weblink, so I may post it on other forums, usual email address, Thanks)
