Metal Fatigue can spoil your day

Close call at Kames on Saturday, thankfully some inspired driving (ie. luck) saved the car and probably myself from damage . . .

Still, first class win of the season on Sunday, which was nice . . .

Quality wreckage :-) Are you sure you weren't saving unsprung weight by cutting out half of the hub? I'm glad the elise one is made of steel, even if it is cheesy-steel!

Cheers,

Nice writeup Ferg. Longest I've seen you post in a while...I'm obviously reading the wrong forum ;-)

And nice work on the win too. Dr Hoy will be proud.
