If you wern't going faster than 110 MPH indicated then yes you are a big girls blouse!  :kiss:

I have my racing driver's excuse ready: It was wet.

It's just you.

Danny and I didn't manage to conjure up any smoke at Brands and my Golf doesn't have a baffled sump, or windage tray.

Clearly this is because we both drive like big ladies in a very slow car.
So how was Brands Hatch on Thursday?

Jealous I missed this. Did my last one for a few months at the end of November.

Got some plans for next year, the 928 days (in the Golf or the 928), Pembrey, Llandow, Castle Combe (as many times as possible), MSE airfield days, roll on next year.

Fitting a new clutch and lightened flywheel tomorrow, need to fit the polished and ported head over xmas, and fix leaking sump gasket and rear wheel bearing.

So, if you did not produce any smoke, does this mean that my engine is knackered and ingesting oil?  Why would it only do this at very high revs or during long corners?  Is this an excuse to do something to the engine, and if so what?

More questions!

I think there's a windage tray available off the shelf, from something random like a TDI motor.

Sump baffles - I think Veegrumpgti16v has templates for them.

Oh and Brands was OK - it was Syncro weather, so we spent a lot of the day keeping 911s and the like honest and bothering people who weren't expecting it.  I have footage which I'll brush up in due course (DannyP driving, as he was the only one who went out without a victim).

It's a dinky little circuit in comparison to Combe or Goodwood, lots more elevation in it though.

Would be good to take a look at these. If your going to do them as a photo or pdf can you put scales in both directions (X + Y) plz  :tongue: :laugh:. Makes it easier to import into CAD and get proper sizes out  :wink:.
