To end the year decided to get a track day, so it was off to Brands Hatch for the day, on the short Indy Circuit.

Day started off cold and damp, but eventually a dry line appeared and after lunch it was dry but still cold.

Went out on the Uniroyal Rainsports in the morning.

Had a great day, until the turbo gave up

Fantastic that it is handling well, that's the one thing that really matters, engines and turbos etc are the easy bit to sort.

Really pleased for you mate

With 2012 coming to an end shortly thes only a few things left to do....


Firstly get voting http://www.facebook.com/questions/438781746189747/



Secondly remove the turbo and sent it to Vince @ CR Turbos for a refurb.

Removed it today and found the exhaust housing full of oil



Roll on 2013, first Trackday is at Bedford on 16th Febuary. Planning to do Croft, Combe, Nat Day and Ford Fair.

So if you see me pop over for a chat, I don't bite
