Well we had a fantastic day today at donnington park and met two of the lads off here and wot nice lads they were . The focos ran so well all day only one small problem we started losing oil out of the gear box / ware the prop bolts on but as this gear box was only needed to do today we was not to botherd about it and slowly the oil stopped coming out lol and it did not go bang so on down lots more to come

Was there on Sunday in my black Westfield kit car with zetec turbo engine. First time at Donington and it was a great day and the car had no issues.

I got some video following the white cossie engined focus - quite a lot of black smoke out the exhaust on the overrun,,, overfueling? Will get the vids up on YouTube in week or so and let you know.
