Curborough - 18th September

[Rob Hunter - Club Secretary]

Hi all,

 

A few of us are going to Curborough (Netherstowe Lane, WS13 8EJ) tomorrow morning about 930-1000 to watch the Aston Martins having a bit of on track fun.

 

Feel free to join us 👍

Tony, Gary, Glynn, Ash (in his van as he working locally), Nigel (of course in the Aston) and myself braved the autumnal temperatures for a trip to the Curburgring.

 

Glynn, Tony and I were sensible and wrapped up well.

 

 

 

Gary quickly regretted wearing shorts in his MEV 😂

 

 

I'd got there early and had been watching the Aston Martins doing their practice laps when this beast took to the track!

 

 

 

Amazingly, I happened to be stood next to one of the guys that built the car! Apparently the car was registered in 1948 and started life as a hillclimb car through the 1950's before being put in someones garage, only seeing the light of day now and again for a trip to the local pub.... they recently bought the car in a sorry state and have adapted it to circuit racing and sprints. The old 6.25 litre V8 certainly makes all the right noises! 😍

 

Once everyone arrived we had our traditional cholesterol breakfast (Glynn with a full English on a triple decker sandwich!) and had a wander round the paddock... all served up with loads of friendly banter!

 

As always at Curborough, there were some lovely cars either on track or in the car park
