Cool, I'll be the Muppet trying to find the entrance

 

[DesmoBen]

Phew!.... I shall go to the ball.
Crappy radiator (only fit for the bin) repaired and now holds some fluid. Will be my first outing on track in a 21st century car!

 

[DesmoBen]

I feel your pain buddy.....

Best days craic you can have with a car.... And with the company of loads of like minded fools.

What, abandoning the mighty Mini, possibly the coolest car on track? Shame on you!

 

[stevieturbo]

K-Seal ?

Thanks for your comment Sven.
Nope, not abandoning, just giving it a breather .....plus I just want to see if "this overtaking stuff" is all its cracked up to be.

 

[svensktoppen]

K-Seal ?

Possibly as a fix to get home or something... Not sure I would chance it on track though.

Didn't stay too long today, but some nice cars around

I popped down for a bit, really liked this car, what is it? One of my favourites along with the yellow Mini hotrod thingy

 

[Marc.W]

I think it was an Alfa 2000 GTV

Called in briefly for a quick look when we were out for a drive earlier.
That wee Alfa sounded class! The Prelude that was out seems to go well also.

My first time on track and had such a good day! Well impressed and the car run faultless

You were going well . Was being chased by you .... Then chasing you in the silver Clio - what motor and spec are you running?
Love them EG's

Wow, that was one lucky boy!

Unless quick/skilled enough to catch a slide early, the safest is usually to just let it go round and stop. Trying to catch it once it is gone just creates those pendulum swings, and it just gets even worse...

Bet they needed new underwear after that

 

[jagged]

Thanks for that insight into spin control @svensktoppen , glad to see all the practice you've been doing over the years is paying off .
That particular mx5 needs booked in for a service , washing machine technician would be best as he may know how to fix it's sporadic spin cycle !!!

 

[Marc]

lucky boy in the MX5!

 

[mike_2]

He's a handsome devil on the video (just saying )

Aye we had a lot of laps together, I'm running a standard b18c4 engine with dc2 hub and brake set up. Was a great day and went really smooth
