Think I went past just before the chequered flag went out but there were red flags and lights by the time I got to the chicane. Had a hugely enjoyable day.

Must try harder next time :D :D

VVC Timing Belt

Planned a precautionary belt change before Saturday but am struggling to source them in Edinburgh.
Can anyone suggest a local supplier (MMC on backorder !) or provide part numbers?

Thanks

I had a couple of pax outings first, one with Sasha (KH instructor?) at a Scooby dealer day, one with Pete in a Xsara (Thanks Pete!). Both good fun and useful for learning lines etc. Then did the single seater day like Gorrie. Started raining just before the single seater laps which made it even mor...

Haven't had much time to work on the car , or even visit here, so she is still wearing her gaffa tape stripes. They obviously blend in well.

Commiserations to the other interested parties and apologies to Steve for the test drive :shock: The price is clearly a good result for Steve but the tota...
