wicked, send me details of the wales trackday. Do I need to be a hairdresser to do it? I'll suggest it to steve to do it in his clio. Mate you should have come to brands, it was soo slippery! I span it down paddock hill  :grin:

a bit yeah! it was soo greasy, there must have been a historic meet the day before or something + drizzle all day = spin city! red flags every 15 mins or so meant long queues in the pit lanes. Some tvr owner almost got knocked out by a few people after continuously pushing into the queue, spinning on the second lap, beaching himself and causing a red flag, think he did it 4 times in total!

it was eventful  :grin:

Well having spoken to Marcus it looks like I'll be dragging it out of the garage and up to the workshop in 2 - 3 weeks time. Then it's angle grinder time!
