Anyone doing Bedford this Saturday 27th May?

[else]

Just wondered if anyone on here is going.

This will be my first time out in the new Chimaera 5.3, should be fun if its wet

My mate will be there in his 997 Carrera 2. I guess he'll be a lot quicker in the wet with all the electronic gizmo's taking care of things

Hi all, well bit of a disater with the TVR but thats another story. Had a lot of fun in the wet in my mates Carrera 2S with the traction control turned off. Its amazing how far sideways you can get it without losing it, fantastic car, its got so much grip in the wet. Shame i didn't get to have a go in the dry though. Andy

Andy yes, saw you on the back of an aa truck on your way out...what happened???

Oh, sounds like a big end, knocking like a b@stard. I can only assume that it was oil surge, I know the pressure was good because i checked the guage a couple of times on each lap, and the engine was built by a company with a reputation for building bullet proof engines.
i have uprated the suspension, brakes, wheels recently and this was the first time out on track, maybe that was the cause. Bit of a pisser but i guess that was the next weakest link, i'll have to invest in a baffled sump next. Andy
