Have you been looking in my garage?

Has he works with you too?

I'm not allowed power tools above a demel or possibly a drill. I hurt myself too much with hand tools as it is...

MMC ordered the wrong part chaps - fuel tank effort cancelled

What were they ordering?

I dunno - it was Andy who posted that from my account! Some kind of O ring that keeps the fuel from coming out around the fuel pump/sender assembly IIRC.

Cheers,
Robin

O rings should be available form motorfactore or at worst a boat yard... Stop being woofters and get it fixed!

we will be Rich - won't stop me doing teeside though.\ Bloody annoying though!

The little S1 is back from its de-shugifying experience and now looks far too tidy

Still I'm sure the blast to teeside and back should sort that. Now if we could just find the sun for the run south

Also have AD07's on courtesy of Robin, which should be fun, with all four corners having the same rubber now!

Spent a fortunte at Geary's today as project Ubershed begins to take shape. Very excited now, and a big thanks to Robin, who is the chief race engineer

Thanks also to Ed, who despite being hungover, and dropping three screws in to the engine bay was a big help.

Teeside here we come - look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow

what a great outing!

After reining myself in on the Saturday to ensure i was ready, and remembered everything, on Sunday I realised I hadn't brought an Archos for in car cam work

FFS

Teeside, or should it be Teesslide!

Got on track for the sighting laps and thought no issues, after changing to very worn AD07's. Then after setting the Nitrons went out.

First bend, feels a touch lively, second bend, sliding under braking followed by tail out, and I'm not trying to provoke this....this is the car that wouldn't understeer just one week earlier!

Anyway, had an awesome first session, spent most of it sideways, eventually spun and came in to check the set-up of the Nitrons. Thought I maybe had too big a difference fron front to rear so adjusted, and we out with Dave....who was delighted to see the over steer in each and every bend was still with us!

Next up was Ed, who again loved the pax, because although not quick, it was becoming highly amusing, and recollections of my last Walshy day with Mckeann came flooding back - although this time i was not having to provoke it! Love the S1

It would have been brutal racing, but with SE'ers around and a gradual realisation that I was not going to be posting any flying laps with no grip, i set about trying to slide my way from bend te bend with amusing results...the camera footage is hilarious, although my hands are not as well sorted as they should be (Mckeann & Walshy thrashed me about that

)

Not sure if people realised how hard it was to drive, but when i went out for a pax with Tut, i realised that it was an entirely different circuit for him, with more than twice the power, but way more grip, corners that had me sideways, his car railed and put down the power...loved the SC!

Shooomer became the next person to take out the S1 for a spin, and pun intended, did so 5 times in 4 laps - love the S1 more when it gets the trackday organiser a black flag! I think Shooomer's tactics went past rough love and more towards violation

On the suspicion that i was being a muppet and setting the Nitrons wrong Dan had a lookat them when he arrived and to my dismay informed me I'd done it correctly.

Oh well - out for another stint on my tod, took GregR out and then Si - both of them left giggling although to crowd watching later informed me that they could see the whites of Si's eyes through the bus stop and in to the left hander, GregR took a new approach and through his hands in the air roller coaster styleee!

Spent a great day practising car control though, and still on my last though - Shed's are the way forward. Drive the ass of it, spin it, try to kill it, it just keeps going, and each day is SO different to the next

Now the prep beings though - more news to follow - the bills are mounting, but there are a fair few changes about to happen to the S1, which i feel has been truly welcomed in to the "rough love" school of motoring

Hope I didn't cause any concern to any of the newbies on track with my antics!

Bring on the next adventure
