Now need to book a TD and go for a blast. Much as I fancy Donny I think I may book snett as I'm keen to find out if the OSG 'box has improved things ratio/on boost wise. Early signs aren't promising but i'm praying to God that some light road work and a sprint on an unfamiliar track aren't showing it at it's best so am reserving judgement until I have some meaningful experience.
How long would it have been out Christian?, also the camber issue? we always said we needed more front camber to use the tyre better..

I think you know snett best and have lots of previous data so would be the place to go i think. if you do, don't 'try' too hard though, at least for as long as your natural exuberance will allow :) try and get in a really good rhythm first.

No I had it done since then max, it's only been out since just before the sprint when I put the new front top arms and rear rose joints on, both of which had worn out and by changing them was always going to affect the geo however careful we were.

How's your shoulder? are you up for another day? Could do Donny, or half day as we discussed at snett if you have another client wanting one?

Go on, do Donny. We were thinking about doing Snetterton but as we've not been back to Donny since it re-opened it was a no brainer for us. Plus the fact it's rare to find a TD at Donny for under £300.

Would love to but totally f****d for the next couple of months. Op was more extensive than expected so ended up needing cuff repair (tendon repair), 6 weeks in a sling (2 weeks down) and then loads of physio over the following months. Hard to say how I'll be after i get this bl**dy sling off but hopefully will be able to be fairly active not long after.

Oh no, sorry to hear that mate. Hope it all fixes up soon and it's not too painful. Fingers crossed the recovery is a quick one once the sling is binned.

You to get an auto off your son and put a spinner on the wheel, at least you'll be mobile...

:thumbs: :auto: I speak from experience, damage myself in a fairly regular basis and Spinners and auto boxes are a great combo
