    Hope you all had a great summer and it was really good to see many of you at shows, track days and social events.😁
    Just thinking what events we may want to do/ organise for the rest of the year.
    We have
    Fuel Coffee House meet tomorrow and Yakushi Show next weekend,
    but here are few more potential events to think of:
    Sunday, Sep 29th: Jap Show Finale at Santa Pod
    http://www.japshowfinale.co.uk/index.php?fbclid=IwAR00_SHI-kwCFC88Rz-a8RPVhc0Vu_FJVUBs32uFqJbZ_jxQK9KiTaMxGYk
    Sunday, Oct 6th: TRAX at Silverstone
    http://www.traxshows.co.uk/trax-silverstone-home
    (I know many people don't like TRAX 🙄)
    Sunday, Oct 6th: German vs Jap Bfast Meet at Ockham Bites
    Saturday, Oct 12th: Action Day Finale at Castle Combe
    https://castlecombecircuit.co.uk/shows/action-day-finale
    (we don't usually have many people interested in Castle Combe events)
    I am also doing track days at Thruxton on Monday Sep 30th and Silverstone on Saturday Nov 16th if anyone would like to join (both with Opentrack)
    Club track day at Bedford last year was popular, we can do it again, good for those who want to try track days for the 1st time (although check your noise level). May be wet (and cold) but its getting reasonably inexpensive.
    Would be great to hear wishes and suggestions!😎

    Rocket Panda reacted to Subota Boy in Review Corolla Hybrid 2.0   
    That is a great review, Lauren.  We recently did a driving experience at the Longcross test track in Surrey, which allowed us to test the limits of the 2 litre hybrid.  I thought you had evaluated the car extremely well. Over an undulating twisty road, the car felt unstickable and I was impressed with the Falken? tyres fitted.  The extra weight of the hybrid batteries fitted low down in the chassis certainly helped with this, i felt, and provides a noticeable handling difference  between the hybrid and non-hybrid C-HR.
     
    Will we change our C-HR for a Corolla?  Well the extra power is certainly tempting.  I was told that the 2 litre in the C-HR will not be as exploitable as there are more limitations to the suspension tuning on the C-HR for obvious reasons (high rider).
     
    Hope you don't mind me adding to your thread!!!

    1pm to 4pm - Drive over.......park up......re-fuel and discuss car stuff.......roll out.

    Taking place just outside Small Dole village on the A2037 between Steyning and Henfield, on the Golding Barn Industrial Estate BN5 9XH. The entrance is virtually opposite a former petrol station. There are speed bumps once you leave the A2037 on the approach road to the industrial estate but they are on one side of the road only. There is a 10mph speed limit on this road.

    Parking will be reserved for those confirming attendance.
    Come and grab some coffee and cake and spend a few hours with like-minded guys and gals. Have your car photographed if you like. Look up Fuel Coffee House on Facebook for more info. 

    The coffee is excellent (went yesterday in the family car) and there are varied tea combinations available.

    Next February with the girls. Maybe sooner to buy sausages. They make their own, really delicious. That part of the north circular is not really a pleasant drive, so tend to avoid it.
