Eurofest Action Day at Castle Combe



Took the "P900" to Castle Combe last Saturday for the Eurofest action day. Had two sessions out on track, first was at the "base boost" that the car had been running since we had it. The second later on in the day, I took the waste gate hose off to see if the car would boost until fuel cut out - which it did.
An excellent day out with the rest of the UKSaabs bunch just hope some of them got some pics of the car in action on track!



EDIT>> pic of car on track thanks to Graeme.

The Valhalla Run

In Norse mythology, those who fell gloriously in battle passed on to a magnificent place called Valhalla. In bangerese we call that a scrapyard. If Valhalla has a car park, we're sure to be adding to it before this route is run.
Valhalla Run is StreetSafari's 5th European Banger Rally.
We've gone in every other direction: East through Europe; South to Africa; West to America.

Nowhere to go now but North...



The event starts in Copenhagen on the 18th of August.

We cross into Sweden, and then on to Norway to do the impressive Trollstigen (Troll Ladder), before a night in Kristiansund.
For anyone dipping their toes in the various seas and oceans around the world, this is your chance to see the Arctic Ocean.

From Kristiansund we travel all the way to Umea on the Baltic Sea, cross by ferry to Korsholm and then head towards Helsinki for the final night, 22nd August.
The distance is around 1,700 miles, through terrain unlike most people have ever seen before.

This is more different than any other StreetSafari event to date. You can also bet it's more desolate than the other European countries we visit. Norway has less than 5m people in a country nearly 50% bigger than the UK!
