Julie with Big Bro - who took us up in his home built aeroplane for a WSCC day out

 

 

Little beast dressed up for Christmas 

 

 

and the two stupid occupants - one Santa and one Elf. 😁😁

 

 

Have a good one and thanks for another brilliant year Westfielding.

Picked up a very last minute cancellation for an Anglesey trackday at the weekend, literally had just enough time to get things loaded up, fuel trip etc.

 

Experimented with blanking the radiator and oil cooler to get the temps in a decent range (hence still running a hacked about nose cone until I settle on the final cooling setup etc). Even with barely any radiator showing it took a run with very little traffic to get the coolant temperature to go above the 86C thermostat!! 

 

Car was faultless again, even the Uniroyals held up pretty well to a fully dry day. Well enough to get stuck behind a GT3RS for a couple of laps anyway! 

 

Time for a good wash and brush up before the next time on track

With a 3" piece of gaffer tape on the cooler I had the oil at a steady 102C. 

 

Yes it's a standard spec 2004-7 CBR1000RR.

May I ask you (if you had them) what colour your doors and soft top were?, very tempted to make new ones in red - currently black. If red any photos?, not got round to doing a photoshop mock up 😉

 

Sorry for the delay in replying.  Both the hood and doors were red to match.  I am not sure if I can find any photos but I will look.

Heading off after shovelling snow for 1/2 an hour at 7am , and the joys of loading a westy with snowy tyres icy ramps 🤪

just stopped for coffee and about 2 hours still to go to Donington thanks to a blizzard between Perth and Edinburgh then the bypass being partially blocked with a broken down lorry.

oh the joys to do 500 miles each way for a day at donny 😃

Is there in UK salt on the roads? If so ... Ouch for the chassis etc...

Only -4 degrees in Derbyshire this morning!

 

Semi slick tyres, no windscreen, no roof, no heater, no ABS, no traction control and definitely no sense 😂

 

All the little kids I passed on the way giving "Mad Santa" a wave seemed to enjoy it though 🎅
