So does Martin, it's just that we all think they suit the female form better.

Oh dear what went wrong, I take it the mech failure wasnt engine related?

I believe he selected 2nd instead of 4th and broke a driveshaft.

I got two good hours virtually all on track, gear lever cross gate was getting stiff, but no fault of the car, coming out of the Hairpin I went 3-2 instead of 3-4 at max revs and the outer CV joint exploded.
Thought it was the engine at first with a bang like that, but just lost drive before the pit entrance. Unfortunately I missed the presentation of the Cup to Ed which I should have been doing as the AA arrived early at 1300, and you know how rare that is.

Tut, sorry about the problem. Still, you didn't blow the engine. Did you take the oil back home with you?
All people who came out with me were welcome.
I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

Thanks to Tut for Sophie's Pax laps. It took her 15 minutes to stop talking about it on the way to her match. She scored 2 goals in a 6-1 win.
Had a great day in my Subaru. Yes a BLUE one!!!!

Sorry Jen missed you, even though earlier on I saw a few Clios. However when Alan and the 340R's never passed, I thought that you were taking the back roads home.
Did you stay at KH, as we had to wait 45 mins at Strathcarrow for the driver to take a break?

I actually put it in when you gave it to me Mass, so will repay the favour next time we meet up. Was it fully synthetic?
