Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh, was trying to work on the funds to buy it. Glad you sorted a decent box for it, that was one thing that was desperately missing from the awesome spec list

I'll see if I can nab my brother's car for a lap or two

We'll hopefully be in our usual spot just under the arrow to the admin centre:



Me in my Cossie support car bringing food, drinks, wheels and a gazebo:



And my brother out on track looking for interesting cars to mingle with:



See you there Danny, will have plenty cold drinks and munchies if you've got a break from track time

Sure thing Chip, he's a top bloke to chat to, a character for sure

Just look for a big bloke (looks like he's maybe lifted a weight or two over the years!) ragging the arse off a 3 door and he's your man

that doesn't sound like the most responsible thing to do tbh mate not meaning to whinge overly , but spraying oil everywhere if it gets a lot worse won't do other people any favours and there's usually enough accidents and stoppages with shonky fords as it is

Sadly the current weather forecast doesn't make it look good for slicks....more like surfboards.
Gonna rain all feckin week by the look of it.

Damn shame too, my closest track, probably the best event of the year, and it's gunna be wet.!!!!!

Fingers still crossed though

Lol@ spraying, I think I may have misled you somehow to thinking its a lot worse than it is then with my jokey smokescreen comment. Apologies if that is the case. Anyway fear not as the Martials will soon let me know if it's an issue, their opinion on the matter is what counts not mine or yours.

I still wanna go, Luke I'm still not sure if I've seen your car driven in anger yet.....not that you'll be able to if it is wet.
Spiky, I'm sure you'd be more than happy to lead these slower dudes round a few laps

Porkie which car/cars you bringing down.?
