eventfull day to say the least.........

had electrical probs in qualifying only managed 1, yes 1 lap but after much running round by the "boyz" managed to get out for the race but started 32nd out of a 32 car field........

lights go to green, by the old hairpin 9 places made up then over the next 3 laps slowly got up to midfield but.............

5th time into chicane "bang" oil pipe split from cooler, instant spin oil all over the rear end, including the exhaust "nice little fire" then wallop ! tyre wall" ouch.......

back to MK's and after 3 hours body re building, porta power bending, steam cleaning, engine sorting turn the key n the bugger lives again.........

hence the word "CAT" this engine as now used 3 of its 9 lives, dumping its oil 3 times n still alive......

so its back to Donnington in the morning for another crack........

a "MASSIVE" thanks to all the boyz, you know who you are, without you we would not be on our way back in the morning.....

long live the CAT.

well done on the work and good luck for tomorrow john and the 'boyz'! hope the 'CAT' runs well for you. were thinking of a trip to see you in action might get a chance to say hello but im guessing not.

Cheers

James

p.s.

I have some gr8 pics i will put them in the photo archive however they are i bit big at 4mb each!!!

drive shaft started to let go on 5th lap, let go on 7th lap..doh, we was getting thru field ok but there was yellows all round circuit, well on overtaking bits anyhow wich slowed progress a little, but i was such a good boy and just saved myself a ticking off by spotting one just in time on the start finish straight and dropping back behind.....

but we went home smiling.....

yes there is talk of a V8, watch this space, but not just yet.....

just took a peek at the pics, ta, glad you dint post a phot of the drivers side front end ????? or do you have one ?

i can find one somewhere if u like


ps what donor do mk recomend?

so i can start lookin

sierra running gear, then at the moment "bike" power, give em a ring, 8am is best, they are up to neck in it so e~mails are at best slow, but don't be put off, the "tackle" is top notch.....
