Very good.
What car are you in?
I'm having a crap day at the moment, garage told me earlier that both the mx-5's rear springs have snapped. The springs are matched to the dampers (puredrive) and I've no idea where they came from.
The spring rates appear to be similar to some uprated (by 15%) springs from mx-5 parts, so I'm thinking a set of those, stiffen the dampers slightly and possibly raise the ride height to avoid running on the bump stops may be the only way of having the car fixed in time.
Bugger. Why now?

There is a chance my mx'5 may not make it. I'll give them a call tomorrow, but if it is sold out, would anyone be interesting for a space?
I'm still hoping against hope that the parts will arrive....
You still going to Llandow Andy ? I bought the green mx 5 that was there last time so will be using that.I'm still hoping against hope that the parts will arrive....

Both booked. Just crossing my fingers that the springs arrive in time for both.
Good buy, by the way.

Believe me I know your pain. I think the expression is "winter; testing"
Rear spring should be fairly easy though? I did one on SWMBO's Touran just the other day! Hopefully see you there
Was it you who dropped into our rather slow convoy? Got you on video briefly. My sisters first track day, she loved it!Believe me I know your pain. I think the expression is "winter; testing"

Might have been. Ashamed to say my pace was pretty slow. I have the usual boxful of excuses! And another broken droplink as well.
Not looked through all my videos yet but nothing especially exciting so far. Wasn't turned on when one of those red GTRs spun onto the grass after cascades on his warm up lap right in front of me.
My soon to be son in laws first trackday too. He said he was a bit queasy at times
