just got the video off the captain that Pete did following the boys, noticed our Dan boy spun in my kart in front of Pierre trying to get away      

just made them sit through it 3 times whilst I pointed out where they were going wrong     , then promptly sent them to bed without supper for a disraceful display of driving

To be fair, I think that was taken before lunch, they picked up the pace a little bit, well, a s**t load after lunch.

P.S - Mark, I have your wheel studs.

aye that was the defence they pleaded  as I showed them the size 10 slipper    

timed them both off the video at circa 57secs, later the boy did a dozen laps in the 52s and a best of 51.6 so he redeemed himself           and little un was 56 so well happy with progress    

will be raising the bar again for them next week, but will have to tread carefully with the boy in case he gets quiker than his oldman

Mmmm wondered when you were going to admit you were old  

Will try not to shout too much tommorrow as your ears get sensitive as you get older too  

If your a good lad might even let you use my tyre replacer

BTW, for anyone looking for advice or after buying a kart, the lads at prosport are top blokes. Had a good natter with them today, know there stuff and made you feel welcome and ok to ask really stupid questions (like I tend to ).

I need to shift my ballast apparently, for 1 to try out my new front torsion bar and 2 its completely the wrong place to put it on a birel.

Also asked about the rear torsion bars, they reckon we dont want to be running them on world formula's, a pencil bar (the one on the bumper) will suffice.

[JeffC]

hoping to get a set of these for me birfday to make life along Logs workshop a little more bearable      

a jar of this wouldnt go ammiss on top of that shelf youve just made beside the stove either

Hope Mrs C doesn't find out you have been using her footware as a instrument of punishment

[Pilot Pete]
