Flymo Update

[V 8]

Well guys, after a long hard winter nut & bolt rebuild, some teething problems at the beginning of the season, starter motor failure, gearbox jam, brake bias problems & running on 6 cylinders, the Flymo ran perfectly at Ollies this weekend, resulting in 2 class wins with yet another FTD for the car, but the first with me in it. Main opposition being from 5 BE racing cars

Thanks to all those who have helped me get there, and phone calls of encouragement. Especially Rob Navin, Derek Hodder, Mick Cooper & Paul Aspden, and my good friend Graham in my village for support beyond the call of duty.

Here's hoping transmission dificulties are a thing of the past

Ollies was, as ever, the best hill in the country, with 6 runs on the Saturday, 4 on the Sunday & no rain.

Cheers all and see you soon

Errr...ummmmm...not sure what event we're at next, and I'm not sure on the brake situation either  There are definitely noises coming from the garage though    What Mids one are you at next?  

But on the plus side, I just went to Wickes and the woman insisted on checking that I was over 21 so I could buy a saw

yet another FTD for the car, but the first with me in it.

Now that would have been an FTD speech I would have wanted to hear.

Well done Tommo.

Tommo

I hope you used the usual terms:

"unaccustomed", "modesty forbids", etc.

Many congratulations  --  and good to see you getting some luck for once (with the weather  --  it has pi$$ed everywhere else    )

well done mate ,the first of more to come i suspect..

Well done for sticking at it Tommo, I would have given up some time back.

Well done on the FTD Tommo. I had no idea yoiu had done it! I did a blitzing last run and scooped 1st in class myself. Unfortunately the organisers had deemed it appropiate to give my pot to our northern buddies who didnt do a last run before checking the final times  

Anyhow, it felt sweet on the way home but even more so foryou  I guess
