Are you going to be at the Tvrcc Cadwell track day?
Be good to see it on track in the flesh, so to speak.

Yep happy bunny. Some tweaking here and there but the car handled, steered and stopped faultlessly.

another vid ...Just have to learn to drive the car now...lots of time to find in the driver rather than the car..lapping at about 1.29 on 10 year old M sections..Not sure whether that is mediocre..I thought OK for someone of my limited track experience.

That was fantastic especially as you where not on slicks getting faster every lap and car seems to have been well sorted worth it in the end.

Well done Neil
I see you were with the TC boys at Anglesey. Hope you enjoyed their company
By the way did run the tyres on the road before you went on the track ?

Nope.
10 year old Dunlop M section Historics....
Really enjoyed the 5 sessions after my initial trepidation..
Just need to learn to drive it now.

Always a pleasure to be in the company the Tuscan Gang. They were all very gentle with me and gave me lots of room.

Nice one Neil. Keep it out of the walls - i.e. don't go near Cadwell - the place kills cars.

Finally drove mine yesterday, few gentle miles. Bloody raining (not) much) - after 3.5 years I'd have gone out in thunder and lightning!!! Utterly Nuts and just tickling the gas to check it all out. Did eat its starter motor, so will get another in the week.

Looking forward to a proper run in the dry now.

Cadwells a social, no competition, no lap times, no prizes.
I'm sure there would be a lot of people interested to see your car in a place where your not busy getting ready to race.

We'll see.
My only concern is that its close to good wood. But might be a nice social to meet up with all the old crowd that I haven't seen for a while.
