Clare cutting a lonely path through to hall bends at Cadwell yesterday ...

Been away this week but that has given the floor five days to harden. Wanted to get the car tucked away as the nights are getting colder and damper. It seems to have coped with being outside though, started first time tonight. It’s going to stop feeling as spacious unfortunately as I’ve got racking to go down the middle and the Carcoon to inflate. Still, much better than before finally. I’m going to paint my tool boards white to keep the brightness levels up 👍.

Spend 4 days in Scotland with my son in his Boxster doing a small section of the NC500. What an amazing roads.

The time is nearly here. Who from East Anglia area is going to the newark kit car show? It would be really nice to see you . If your thinking about it then theres a few tips below. If we get some names together we might be able to arrange convoys etc. So here is a step by step plan to get here! Ask the partner for permission to go and if its a no then buy some flowers and chocolates to change that. It may mean spending some money but 5iver should cover it. Dust off the car and chuck the roof away as there should be no rain. Gives more room if you buy summit. Get your wallet ready and pre print some fake reciepts to prove you were frugal with the money. Plan your journey now. Put a smile on your face and get ready to enjoy the show. Come on guys. Lets be seeing you.

Oulton park Saturday 7th September

Now made a video from last trackday, not best lap but only one recorded with sound ( need to look for sth really easy to operate instead all that gopro marketing thing) and with additional second camera shot at front right suspension . For me it seems to work ok, but I am open to sugestions if sht seems to You not properly set / working bad ?

Like all my projects, this one is running behind time and over budget 🤣. Finally finished painting the walls, looks loads brighter. Next stop floor, should be getting the paint next week. Then build some shelves and another work bench for car stuff and we are away. Reminder of the ‘before’ below, and now.

Fixing a mate’s Audi A3 - he said a rear coil spring had gone, which is a doddle to replace. I said bring it over, I’ll sort that for you. Turned out to be a front spring - and they are notoriously difficult requiring removal of upright from driveshaft and a few less than common tools 🙄
