Hows everyone enjoying.....

.......the nice weather!!! HA!

Seriously though, anybody bringing any planned winter mods forward due to the monsoon season we seem to be having?

P.S If its sunny near you I DON'T WANT TO KNOW!!!

I have had to send my bike clocks back to MNR, so I am REALLY chuffed that the weather is bad otherwise I would be gutted that I couldn't get out and drive it

I hope when the clocks return (working) it will be with the arrival of sunshine

Swap your engine for mine if you need an anchor.

Might have to make a start on stripping & re-greasing my polybushes if the weather doesn't improve. Hols in 2 weekend though, so I'll have to get cracking to do it before then...

Personally, I'm none to worried about the rain, as long as your careful it just brings your speed down at which you can play, also good for making you think about every little input you make.

Infact the trackday at Abingdon on friday is suppose to be wet and it'll even up the playing field for me against those cars with more power and R888's.

I have relatively skinny tyres (185/70) and not a lot of power (< 100BHP) and it's STILL too exciting in the wet - the tail keeps wanting to overtake the nose!

Mind you, that may be a problem with the nut holding the wheel...

lol... i say you leave it open so there is no sound-proofing effects. My neighbours might kill you though the next time you visit!
