did another trackday on friday at brands (for a change). it was a good day for it, was a bit wet in the morning but there was a dry line by 11 for the rest of the day. lots of nice cars there as always,  and i can now say i was (overtaken lots) on track with lawrence bristows btcc sierra cosworth r500  :cool: there were quite a few golfs there, 3 other mk2's and the infamous reeves mk1 also. heres a few pics nicked from raw action photography in a poor student kinda way

picked up a shed head yesterday  :smiley: :smiley: wooooo!
should be fitting it at the end of the month if all goes to plan





but with the pleasure comes the pain, on the way home battery light came on so i had a look and the alt belt had dissapeared. upon closer inspection that piece of sh!t slipper pulley has gone all loose  :rolleyes: i used a shoelace to get me home but am now looking to fit the mk3 belt/alt/pas setup so i can be rid of that slipper pulley once and for all. (vw want over a ton for one  :shocked: )

also got round to uploading a trackday video
