Thanks to all the guys at Teeside today. My shakedown went down well with just a couple of minor issues and I had a blast! Superb day out with decent weather to boot.

Check my blog for some pictures, mainly of my car!

Looking at that pic i am still surprised at the number of people with roll bars which are lower than their heads. I didn't think you would be allowed on the track if it was ??

Yep, what a blast! Cheers Graham, I tried to take some pictures from there but by the time I'd pushed the button all I got was the back end of the car going out the picture! Don't my 205 tyres look a bit thin??!!

Couple of mods already from the track day... a quick shift for the box, the throw was too long and I only used 3rd & 4th! Might shorten the stick a bit more first.
A return spring or cable on the carbs as they tended to run on, not too bad when I was going for it but crap in and out the pits!

SVA next, front guards to stick on and front bumper. Roll on pay day!!

Ha ha - front cycle wings were temporary for the track day. Didn't have time to glue the proper ones on and let the stuff cure correctly.

They are on now for the SVA!

Kris, I didn't see you there.

Unless you were the idiot leaning over the armco waving both arms above his head?
