Took youngest to Llandow last week and she loved it , so booked a Curb trackday . Maybe not a good idea as I think I should now retire! She's 16, only driven around a field , never over 30mph. I had to use all my 10 years experience and push as hard as I could just to stay 1sec in front! I think I better detune the engine in the spint car I am building them

Trust me, you'll think you're in the midst of a meds fuelled "episode" when you're watching it. Now off to wrap my head in tin foil so that the Governments mind control people can't tell what cheese I'm having for lunch.

Just returned from a lovely relaxing week in France at Norman and Lynns gite . Mrs T and myself travelled over in the Westfield so we could sample some empty smooth French roads. Many thanks to Mr & Mrs V for there hospitality, the red wine went down a treat as did the lager consumption in the bar.

For the non harmful but really inconvenient for your thieves try real Gentian violet dye leave some around for them to find ... if you can get it on them everything they touch they will go dark purple and stay that way.....It does not wash off . It should end up all over there belongings. Real Gentian violet is non toxic. A small can locked up with interesting warnings ( say indicating hallucinating effects) with an invoice indicating high value should do the trick .... The coppers might be able to identify a thief with purple fingers. Many years ago the flowers at the end of our road used to be systematically stolen every year. We sprinkled the flowers very lightly with concentrated gentian violet powder.....the flowers have been unmolested ever since ! It may not help but it make you feel better.

It's the same pistons, rings, bores and to a point every engine builder has different recommendations. The only reason you do acceleration/deceleration is to seal the bores. I'm keeping it below 4000 but not being religious!
