Ha ha, only twice have I had to do that although the hammer has been in the car incase it did it again. I thought the thwaking I'd given it a while ago had sorted it out as it's been fine for ages.

Trackday today was brilliant. I'll do more of a write up tomorrow. Got a few pics from the pros and Mrs Horney + some video.

For now I'll leave you with an example of how not to take Old Paddock Bend:

Edit a few pics:

P>S Can someone reply as to whether that video works and looks OK? My connection is gash and it's well jerky for me.
