Just had a fantastic day at Anglesey with Javelin.
I did about 170 miles on track in total. The car behaved really well and once the new rear tyres were worn in a bit it held on so well.

small update:

went to Donington Park yesterday to get my last trackday in before I have to go back to work.
Dry day so the Federal tyres had a good run.

Unfortunately, my rear brake pads gave in during the afternoon and I had to slowly cruise home...

New EBC Blue Stuff on order...

yer, these EBC Blue that I had on wore right down to the metal. The warning light came on just as I shot past my breaking point... smile

I hope to get the new ones on tomorrow and then there is a small chance I may be able to do Donington again on the 30th with the BMWCC.

Yer, get the list together.
I'm going to get a list of winter jobs together that I can do next time I'm back.

Been home for a week and have not even lifted the cover off the M3 to check it is still there.
Think I'm going to leave it off the road till the summer.

I won't be doing without driving fun however as Santa is delivering this tomorrow...
