Just a few I'm afraid...

And here is one of my tyre after my 2 track sessions

And here is my vid...The 2nd session starts at 15:45.
I had a problem near the end of the first session in that the plastic covering by the accelerator pedal came loose and jammed by the pedal giving me less control over it...all sorted by 2nd session...

Sorry Mark, you only appear for about 10 seconds on one of my vids and not at all on the other. It does show your offside brake light is blown...

Oh well, was hoping to see how fast it looked from the outside lol


Actually Tony came over after the first session and mentioned I had a brake light out. I got a spare loom with bulbs in the garage so will sort.

Get your vids uploaded quintain...it was nice to meet you and have a chat.

OK, not sure why you would want to watch me out on a shopping trip, but here you are...

Mark, you appear at about 1:50 in the first one and just the once.
Two lessons learnt. Dropping your tyres a couple of psi is not enough. An N/A is ok for Brands but not for Castle Combe. Next mod V6!

Really good day, great to catch up with everyone :th: Think Combe did pretty well for their first year of organising it, will definitely go back next year.

A v6 will definitely help with your driving style on track.
I noticed you stayed in 4th even round bobbies and quarry.
The 3sge has a lot more pull further up the rev range. A v6 will definitely help with grunt low down if that's your driving style.

I'm no expert but if you need any help with a v6 conversion, me and Adam just done one and there is others on here that are willing to help including Paul woods.

Good on you for putting a vid up. It was nice to see myself from another angle lol
