OMG - not somone else to have a dig
Today was first real shake down test of the car. I could live with the gearboc oil leak. Dizzy cap failure was totally unexpected. Managed to get a
new one within 1 hour but unfortunately couldnt catch up.
2nd fault was heat soak in the entrance queue - again easily fixed for next time (better bonnet vents, fan overide switch and maybe some exhaust wrap.
Bike carb conversion will allow me to cut bonnet out when i suss out new filter position.
All in all i should be overjoyed. Return journey was faultless. I even saw 3 figures for first time ever on way down (then i lost a magnet and did
most of journey at 'half' speed).
I really need to do Newark if family and funds permit! I just want to do a convoy.

Darren.
If you have never been to southern Italy before, It really is nice , but a word of warning, on any form of public transport or crowded place there are
very clever pickpockets. Go to Pompei its brill.

Cheers Steve for that - il keep wallet safe.
Does anyone have a link for the newark showground. I want to see if there is a good route avoiding the motorways (Maybe only going so far on A1 then
go cross country).
Just hope i can fix gearbox leak by then!
