Yep.. dog much improved just now. Dont know if it the medication the vet gave him this evening or the fact that we took off the new support harness that we got today. my theory is the harness has been restricting the blood flow or just ee uncomfortable for his, he is much happier with it off so maybe his recovery is heading in the right direction after all.
Had a shower when I got home, still covered in brake dust and muck off the wheels.
Big thanks to Meatball and Morven who were the only two who actually offered to help me change back my wheels....
So it can be done... track wheels and tires (now almost slicks) and a set of road tires with legal tread on them...
Just need Dan to get that rear link kit fitted and a proper set of real slicks will be the next thing I am after. Don't know how the sizes work out, they are listed differently to road tires.

Nah, you cant bin this thread... People would just end up getting pissed and starting a million new ones... At least here, all the madness is contained 
And just for the record, i really believe that all the so called drivel that gets posted in chat is as SE as anything else in the forum... At the end of the day, we're a bunch of like minded people talking about things... Thats what frickin internet forums are for people...
Car got me home tonight, but only just... If you thought it sounded bad at knockhill, you should hear it now!
Off to go 4 wheel shed shopping tomorrow....
John, thanks for the pax tonight - really cheered me up! First pax round knochkill with a fast driver

Yes they did or maybe I was not using them as much as I relaxed slightly

Afternoon guys... Yup, i grenaded the car good and proper last night - general consensus is that i've destroyed one of the main journal bearings in the engine... Best case would be a new set of bearings + a crank regrind... but as the block has dodgy liner problems anyway, its going to be new engine time for me.
Looks like Ali has found me a car to keep me on the road already, utter genteman that he is, so am off to go and pick it up shortly.
Lotus is going to be off the road for a while

Hey mags, thanks... I knew it was only a matter of time before it went pop, but guess blowing up yesterday is better than going bang in front of the crowds on sunday! Good news about yours - last i saw was neil filling it with a "bit" of coolant.... Good to hear its all working ok
