Yep... Sprinting at Goodwood..

Quite an eventful day as a couple of rear wheel studs sheared just coming out of Petworth which meant a frantic search for a couple of new ones and an angle grinder to grind a small recess in the hub carrier so that the studs could come out without having to undo the big nut and remove the hub from the carrier. Then found an engine misfire - I was running on about 5.5 cylinders. So new plugs and clean the air filter and just got out in time to take the class by 3 one hundredths! Haven't had to work that hard at a sprint for a long time.

It looks like I'll need to change the studs every year...
BTW they are off a Sierra... well the Ford dealer found that the Sierra ones are the same as the Cortina/Granada studs and they fitted a treat.
