Doug Dastardly Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Smashing Thanks. If the weather takes a turn for the worse again I'll just take the normal car. Showers are fine but a 400 mile round trip in really bad weather doesn't sound fun. I presume I'll just tell them at the gate that I'm with the WSCC guys and they'll let me in.

MacRosky Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 do you have an idea of how much oil was left? unless it got low enough to get your low pressure warning light on I'd not think you'll have suffered any undue wear - a little oil goes a long way, so unless your oil was way low I'd be tempted to just fix/replace the sump pan and fire it up and see how it sounds. I'll probably give that a go - you always think the worst when you're leaving a sizeable oil slick behind - I think there was possibly half a litre left when I switched off!!

JimM Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Anyone up for a convoy to Knockhill? Meet at Harthill Service Station for those coming from the west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreigM Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 Jim, I'm coming from the west, but prefer to go up the M80 way...and will be towing anyway, so you wouldn't be able to keep up and as a general note: LAST CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS I'll have to forward the list of names to Knockhill by the end of Thursday.

GreigM Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Absolutely final call for people wanting in the WSCC session as I must send the list to Knockhill tonight. For anyone hanging off due to the weather, it is looking to be dry all day, I find this to be the most reliable forecast: http://www.netweather.tv/index.cgi?action=uk7dayx7;page=4;ct=~KY12;sess=#forecast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciprian Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Better be dry! Went out for a wee drive to Lecht last night with a couple of mates in their roofed cars ( p**fs ). Lovely driving in, car handled great, sweet as a nut! Unforuntately, on the way back, it started raining, it was pishing down actually! Took it easy with the 335i in front, just shy of an hour and a half for 50 miles. It was that bad! I got drenched, soaked to the skin. So it better be dry on Sunday!

mi7rennie Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm currently in a bit of a state with the car, the diff was leaking and knowing that dripping oil round a racetrack is considered bad form I'm in the process of swapping out the diff for an LSD we have had sitting in the garage for 2 years. I now know why I put this job off cutting the nuts off the end of the drive shafts is probably just the start of my problems!! I'm going to get stuck in again tonight ad hopefully we can get it sorted for Sunday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
