We will be getting there nice an early to ensure thet we get a pit garage. We'll be grabbing 2 garages as you get 2 cars in each garage.

Pablo, you're a star. I was about to ask what time we ought to be there to get a garage. :thumb:

Got the rear brake pads changed today but on the way home one of the electric fans stopped working

Looks like we're going to be busy tomorrow.

Gerry, we'll be getting there just before 7 a.m.

Steve's leaving at 5.30am..........I'm yet to be convinced of the merits of a silly o'clock leave

My co-driver is currently throwing up and shitting through the eye of a needle, I do hope he's not worried about my driving

If he's well enough to take part, I'll try and drag him along earlier.

Not long now :wave2:

I tend to get like that after i've been out with Alan driving. Oh one more thing, he will be using the curb and even a bit of the dirt in places :roll:

He has 2 simple moto's - both of which scare the s*** out of me.
1. I've paid to use the track so i'm going to use all of it.
2. If the touring cars can do it, so can I

I'm sure he only says it because he thinks it's funny the fact that he can turn my hair grey in a weekend :evil:

Seems there's a lot of it about. My neighbour's just back from a week in Cornwall and said the whole hotel were going down like flies.

Make sure you keep well away from him.

A few adjustments, then i'll be loading car on trailer tomorrow ready for the early start Sunday. Allowing around 2 1/2 to 3 hours for the journey.

Hopefully the weather is on our side, although Donington in the wet would be interesting

See you all there :-D

donington in the wet is frightning its very greasy and going through the crainer curves there is
a river that flows through it and static puddles at the old hair pin.

thankfully the weather is looking good so far fingers crossed

Electric Fan..... Alan has found that the fault is due to a brake in the wiring somewhere. It was lucky I noticed that the temp was a litter higher than normal, as the 'fans on indicator light' was still working on the dash

Alan is just finishing off a temp. fix to ensure that both fans are working tomorrow.

We were getting ready to borrow!! the fans off a neighbours car if the motor had gone on ours.
