Motoring highs and lows of 2010 - what were yours?
Discussion
Highs:
Prescott hill climb in May in my Triumph - first run was all about getting the back end out at Ettore's bend and into Pardon hairpin - great fun. Second run was more about getting the right lines, felt much quicker. Third run would have seen me in the trees.
Le mans in June (TL) - sixth time in eight years. Highlight was running out of beer at the far side of the circuit and being given a crate of 30 with an appology for them not being cold!
Lows:
Headgasket failure on the Saab in February - £1,300 after things got complicated with the LPG conversion.
Coming down from Prescott and finding out that the thrust washers were on the verge of falling out and wrecking the bottom end. Engine out job and 6 weeks off the road.
2011:
Would like to get out in the Triumph more... perhaps a track day.
