Bruntingthorpe
Had an absolutely brilliant day at Bruntingthorpe today for the ASDA charity event thanks to MK for the invite, was good to meet another fellow
Locoster Colin and his good lady Angie.
All in the 6 cars in our group raised £635 @ £5.00 per lap.
I managed to drop my oil (problem with the sump, repaired taht then got a puncture so my Input for the day wasn't as good as I would have
liked.
Absolutely brilliant track for first timers if your thinking of a track session, real good mixture of cars today as well.

i Litre per lap thought you said you were getting good MPG it was all out though , as the man said at the briefing "its your job to go out and
scare the hell out of them"

Angie was an absolute star, pity she wasn't any good with the spanners I may have got back on sooner, no oil leaks and the tyres still kept up.
We all got back okay good to meet you Colin I will deffinitely do it next year if the offer is there
Manage 113 MPH so will be considering an engine upgrade to a 2 litre Zetec or a turbo to push it along a little .

Its a piece of wee
I played around with them on sunday, although it took about 3 hours to upload! and it seems that it doesnt care about file size and allows 10mins of
video , utbre is only 5 mins
Oh did I mention I bought a reverse box on Suinday
