I just need to bleed the brakes, fit new top mounts, change the chain tensioner, change plugs, oil and filter. Suppose I should stop being a lazy cunt and get it sorted

Not exactly great for spectating but if you buy a passenger pass, I'm sure you can have a passenger ride of a few of us if you've got a lid.

Got Friday off to sort the last few bits, oil change, new plugs, wash, empty all the accumulated crap from the boot and back seat (wonder if I should take my yellow light bar and "Highway Maintenance" stickers with me ) and finally check everything over.

Been itching to get back on track again since last year

You can but if just watching and not wanting to out with people when pulling up at the gate just say you are signing off for passenger rides and they will point you to signing in area where briefing is and go to briefing they hand you a band and then you will ok to watch. Passenger bands are Ł20 or Ł25

Hope this helps

Surely your Fiesta will be very close to that Luca?

Rainbums is FAST car as well!

Well, Im booked. Just need to pull my finger out and get the car out of the garage and on the trailer.

Lee has bigger kahunas than me for the back straight!

Lets hope for no repeat of Combe a couple of years ago!

I would have expected so yes.

Slight error though this week on Elites part. My 2nd gearbox was faulty, Rob is sorting it all though, but not in time.

I'm OUT of the game with you big boys on Saturday

I'll be taking the daily drive round though
If you see this in your way.. flash like mad - i'll soon move
