It'll be nice to have a roof for a change and not buffeted by the wind and soaked by the rain, and blue with cold!!

I might even be able to see where I'm going if it's raining, happy days!

The bill was a nice round £1k, it's had pretty much everything checked over and replaced where necessary.

It also came with a free bollocking for not changing the oil enough

Be interesting to see how you find Sears corner.

The whole circuit will be interesting.

I'm guessing the technique will be some in between the Caterham and the 2CV.

It's a shame we can't do any timing

Worry about timing later.

Finish a day with the car (and you) in one piece first.

It'll probably be a day spent finding all the problems with the car.

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Track day's been cancelled because of the weather.

Bugger.

Gonna get the engine back in the Caterham instead

I need to make some decisions on the spec of the next Caterham soon, I'm very excited about it

The only definite so far is one of these:



(My brother's Duratec, mine will have less power)
