I'll be there, typical the only rain forecast for the last two weeks and probably for the next week is coming on saturday. Should save on tyre wear at least

Nice to meet you spivvy.

Does anyone know who the S with the reg GRUNT is looked like an S3 but when it overtook me it pulled away faster then some of the Griffs, Chim's.

Saw that one out drag a Tuscan as well and was a man on a mission into the corners, let him past when he was anywhere near me , something not quite standard about it .
Great day out with suprisingly only a handful of S's there .

Don't know, but meant to wave as you flashed me as I headed back but hands were full due to just avoiding a suicidal rabbit..

Sorry guys, it was me!!

Also sorry that with the exception of a chip and a stainless exhaust the S is pretty much standard.

I think it must be something to do with the Mad Welsh driver!!

Had a lot of fun on the day but im paying for it now. The front is peppered with stone chips and the drivers door is loose on its upper hinge. Any ideas of what the problem may be?

Not convinced by the concrete surface though, it made braking after the main staight a bit interesting! and cornering over those uneven joints was an act of pure faith.

Had the S2 for four years now and have attended a few track days including Mania at Donnington. I have found the S does hold its own against 'faster' machinery, it can put its power down much quicker on tight and twisty circuits like Cadwell as C1RVY (Orange Cerbera) will tell you.

Anyone fancy a rematch at Snetterton?

The welsh one is most definatly a man on mission once on track

Not the best picture but note the daylight under the front nearside wheel, this was round the foggy esses at Donington, before the private plate

Probably the bolt that forms the upper hinge unscrewing from the bodywork. Eventually it will come undone completely at which point your door will fall off! Can also damage the rear of the door if it drops low enough to touch the back of the opening when you shut it. Mine seems to come undone every 50,000 miles or so, and it is always a pain to put it right - I don't envy you that job!

Not sure what the chip is, it was in the car when i bought it. Also never had BHP tested, may do this at its next service/tune.
