Just got a shot of mine parked to the side at 8:05
Breack in recording first time round
Auxiliary belt had broken so overheated

Ah! the switchable supercharged Jag? I hope it was an easy fix...?

One of the idler pullies went taking out the belt, so no water pump (blew the header tank),
also damaged the oil line to the oil cooler (loss of oil) All repairable, should be done tomorrow

Provinding no undue rattles on startup (car does start and nothing noticed) should be OK

Fingers crossed

In the first vidio you pass my car at 4:43 steem coming out of the bonnet

So far the report sounds as if I've got away with it.
Car should be back on the road tomorrow (Friday)

Its got a Honda Civic Type-R engine in it that revs to 8.3k. I've looked at both vids but can't see an escort at 1.46. There was a red Alfa GTA heading onto the Mulsanne straight though.


Norman,

Good to hear chap. It certainly was steaming when we went past.

Nice Peddling! That's a cracking machine you have there

Makes me realise how much I miss my old Elise!

4pot what the bruddy hell are you driving? Lotus Elise on steroids???? Whatever it is it seems to leave most of the supercars for dead. The Porches were really trying to get away from you, as were several Ferraris. Very impressive footage and not one scream from your very calm passenger!

Its got a Honda K20a engine from the Civic Type-R in it. Goes rather well and the weight gives it a very good power to weight ratio.

The co-pilot is always very well behaved

Here's some of the footage we took http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCoEOVDvCZk
No where near as spirited as the Elise, that is impressive, well driven Sir

Look forward to watching when I get home later

4pot are you a racing driver?

I didn't have a clue that you were right behind us with a camera on your car. Thank you so much for capturing Burbl in action too! Steve and I have just been watching your footage (a few times) and it's superb. It's hard to get images of your own car when you are in it!
Thanks for making our day! What a surprise .

Hi Karen,

No problem glad you enjoyed it, shame I didn't hang on your tail a little longer. Though you might have spotted the camera mount in our screen, but guess you didn't have to use the mirrors much

Catch up again soon,

Cheers
