Ah good old Templecombe eh. I used to live in Henstridge before I lived in Galhampton so I used to drive through Templecombe most days. A local meet sounds like a good plan as it would be good to hear peoples experiences and ideas.  :drinking:

My last car was a 1998 UK spec R33GTR, one of only 100 produced. I used it as a road legal track car and, with just under 600bhp and 525ft/lb torque, it was quite nippy. I tracked it around tracks such as The Nurburgring, Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Castle Combe, RAF Marham, Llandow etc. The clutch alone cost £1600  :scared:

Here's a couple of pics:-
