Mine came out the garage yesterday getting closer to completing the engine conversion, hopefully be road ready in the next month or so ready for the summer

Would anyone have an aero screen for a narrow body they are looking to part with .?

Sold for £10350 + fee (6% + VAT). Seems a pretty good deal.

The first proper drive of the year to the old haunt, Elstree Aerodrome. Now that the engine has had a good heat soak, it appears to be starting up fine. The XI appears to have shrunk in the wash again!

Sorry.. no pics..unless the official photographer got some! Yes car went well

Happy birthday Robin, love from Glen and Julie xxxx

Any pics @Mole? Glad the car ran ok.

Had a good half day at Snetterton today.. Been suffering with a dodgy shoulder but luckily it didn't stop me driving..will probably regret it later or tomorrow when the pills wear off! Was my first time on track since last July for various reasons. The day wasn't sold out so plenty of free running. I had found it hard to get a good brake pedal despite plenty of bleeding. On track this proved to be the same. I tried bleeding the brakes but no air came out. I was concerned I had nick a seal during the brakes overhaul. After a good coat of looking at I noticed a tiny weep of brake fluid on the chassis below the brake switch..I nipped up the two solid pipe connections into the master cylinder and the two either side of the switch T and went out again and the brakes were great..really pleased. I then did some set up with the springs on the front as I was getting lock up on one side.. but raising one spring half a turn and lowering the other half a turn after two goes got the braking even. The car handled ok and with the slightly stiffer springs I noticed less body roll. I have more work to do refining the ride height and damper settings.. The weather was cold really windy and sunny with rain forecast for mid afternoon.. so I called it a day at lunchtime having had plenty of running and my shoulder telling me it was time to go home! Now need to get my next day booked

Happy birthday Robin.

Strictly speaking not a 7s Speed Series question but a motorsport one. What 13" tyres (1b) would you recommend to do a 15 minute competitive track session. I am thinking of AR1s. I know they arent so good for sprinting but for prolonged track time may work well Thanks

Out this morning for a birthday breakfast. Missed the rain too.

Birthday breakfast meeting.

Have a very happy Birthday, Robin!
