Happy to lend any tyres I am not using at the time.....apart from to Phazed.
Nothing personal, I just don't want him drilling an extra hole in every wheel!!!
I actually managed to get everything checked, tools and wheels/tyres loaded, and the car onto the trailer this morning, so I am now officially knackered.
I am bringing a compressor and tyre pressure gauge for those who want to play with their tyre pressures tomorrow, plus a jack and impact driver for wheel changing

Helmet gloves race boots and lucky pants should be all you guys need to pack now
Clean the Algae off the Trailer so Vosa don’t think it’s been stood 6 months and have an excuse to pull you...
looking good guys, weathers holding so plenty of good track time hopefully.
Be good, if you can’t, be safe

Will do my best Alun.
Will miss you, I was looking forward to your perky banter.
I only do track days for the quality time with my friends.
It's pissing down right now in Newark. Car looking forlorn on its trailer, ready to go at 5 am.
Forecast however is cool but dry for tomorrow at Snotterton. Holding my breath.

Peter will be on the road by now.
Should be dry enough for long enough, might even be blessed with some sun if your lucky
What I will be doing won’t be half as glamorous painting doors
I think it’s good to suck up the whole vibe and I even enjoy lunch, great craic so it is.
Pity money wasn’t falling off trees anymore,,, but I have a plan!!
Enjoy

Have to agree what an excellent day, almost perfect conditions.
Quite eventful , I had a moment in the bomb hole, got distracted being chased down buy the big dogs, ended up going round and round, but best part of the day was getting a few passenger laps in Nick's new toy, unbelievably quick.

I agree about Nick’s Caterham 420R Donington, to give it a name. As quick as us on the straights (135) and the cornering was just hysterical. We go round corners with 100% grip, Nick goes round 20 mph faster, fighting the wheel and a lively rear axle all the way. Eye opener.
PS I did enjoy your dainty pirouette from 30 yards behind. At least you ended up pointing the way you intended to go! I lost my roof panel at 110 mph the following lap. It went 30 feet upwards and came down on the grass. Not a scratch on it. And it is painted, not canvas. Driver of the Caterham following me must have broken the underwear change speed record.

135 or thereabouts.
A super day that you others missed!
Always a great group of TVR guys that made for a great day.
Nicks Caterham was epic and I chickened out of a passenger ride.
Johns Wedge was like a new car but better. Excellent job John and it wasn't too shabby on track.
Kevs tweaked 4.0 was as good as a standard 5.0 on track, the recent upgrades rally showed.
Anthony's 4.6 turbo on slicks was a force to be reckoned with as I could not quite keep up around the bends.
I didn't see Ian's on track..........
As for my old barge. All went really well. It didn't even use any oil, what an engine!
The new manifolds give a crisper sound but luckily no increase in noise at the sound check, 103 dbs.
As for power, brilliant through the whole range, especially good for firing out of bends!
I hope you guys enjoyed the passenger rides.
