laptoprob - 18/4/16 at 06:50 PM

What's the problem Rob? is it the actual mechanical stuff or do you have some sort of flat shift fitted that's playing up?

jtskips - 21/4/16 at 07:25 AM

Boo, is it linkage on 2nd again

nickm - 21/4/16 at 07:14 PM

Fellas

Burst sewer in Wragby at the lights on A158 can hold you up Fri afternoons at the moment.

Nick M

Andy D - 21/4/16 at 07:23 PM

Thanks Nick.. I had to look to see where Wragby was, its not on my route thankfully.

adithorp - 21/4/16 at 07:35 PM

Cars fixed and loaded. Almost sorted but it's going to be an early start. Can anybody post the timing info as I haven't received the email from MSV.

Andy D - 21/4/16 at 07:46 PM

Basically the briefing is 8-30 Ade, be there by then and you're sorted. Early start here too.

adithorp - 21/4/16 at 08:12 PM

Thanks. Looking forward to my second ever Cadwell day. Hope it goes better than the first one.

Second ever? I must have been at your first one too then.. with the slightly unhappy end?

See you in the morning.

bi22le - 21/4/16 at 09:20 PM

Have fun kids, play safe.

I wish i was coming. Well, kinda, we are off the euro Disney tomorrow for a long weekend.

jtskips - 21/4/16 at 10:03 PM

Think rob got his box sorted

Andy D - 23/4/16 at 07:13 AM

Was a good day, not too busy, and dry all day. Have got loads of pics but run out of space on my photobucket account. :-( Plenty of video too, so should get something up over the weekend.
Nice to meet up with the "boys" as always.


..boys! ....

Was indeed but I'd say it was quieter than that. At times I thought I'd missed a re flag as I had that many clear laps. Sorry to leave while you were out on track but you looked like you were having fun and not coming in any time soon.
Just got to get the side-pod off for the second time in a week and weld the exhaust before Stoneleigh...

Andy D - 23/4/16 at 09:58 AM

.. you may find them.

Would you believe we've actually done a quieter one than that.. I think it was about 25 cars total.

I've put a load of pics on facebook. I don't really do facebook but if you do F/B and search for "Andy Pugwash" you may find them

Andy D - 24/4/16 at 06:11 AM

Couple of vids from me:

First one me and a couple mates having a bit of fun.





And the second one is my lad driving, chasing an M3 on slicks.. he got my old bus down into the 1-38s at the end.


laptoprob - 24/4/16 at 08:14 AM

Great vids as usual Andy, sorry the day was short lived for me but i'll be back at it in a week or so when ive got the nosecone painted

I'd love to know how light the M3 was as i've never seen one of those get round there as quick! I have heard they get them down to 1100kgs.

Paint? .. a bit o' gaffer tape Rob. Job sorted!

I've no idea of the BM spec, other than it was on slicks and bloody quick.

laptoprob - 24/4/16 at 08:33 AM

Must resist the gaffer tape fix Andy, still too anal about the look of the car haha.

If i carry on with the knocks i keep getting though i may refer to your advice as i cant afford to keep repairing it!

Andy D - 24/4/16 at 09:34 AM

Quick vid from a pal, first one onto the scene of an oil spill. Just over the mountain.. the following Atom wasn't so lucky, he went off and damaged the rear of his car.





[Edited on 24/4/16 by Andy D]

laptoprob - 24/4/16 at 10:02 AM

The lad with the Atom is a friend of mine, he was gutted but came out of it pretty unscathed. Think he needs a new rear cycle wing and some TLC to the rear wing.
Which flat shift does your friend run in the Red Westy Andy?

Andy D - 24/4/16 at 01:19 PM

I think it's geartronics stuff Rob.

Another one from him chasing some old bugger out for a tootle.



(Having a little trouble with the flat shifter..)

Andy D - 26/4/16 at 12:29 PM

A cracking vid from the last session of the day.
