Default Llandow april fools track day.

Had an absolutely wicked day out there yesterday.
Its a little charity run day that goes on every year and i went last year as a passenger in jase and ratty's meastro tubro "the Gooon".
Took my capri this time round and had a great day until about 3pm when the tired out old v6 had enough and let its guts exit through the side of the block.
I think cologne engines are becoming a service item for me now.

Great little track , some vids.

Really enjoyed it as a passenger year before but its allways better to drive it.
Quite an abrasive(sp?) surface there which makes it hard on tyres .

Another really good day at Llandow, shame your boat anchor let go at the end Loader as the Capri was going well.

At least the Gooon didn't kill us even though it tried

I'll ask the others if they got any pics of the gooon for you.
