Will get round to dong a bit of a write up a bit later, but some of you know my clutch shit itself half way round my second lap,, well as soon as i got home i ripped the engine and gearbox out,, stripped and rebuilt the gearbox checking for damage as there was a large amount of griding going on trying to make the 500 mile trip back without a clutch,, but all is fine with that,, fitted a new clutch and bunged it all back together and is running fine now... something had gone on the pressure plate and i lost about 2" off a steel ring that runs inside the pressure plate,,,, shit happens i suppose,, but did learn a lot of things on this trip and still had a good time anyhow,,, even if it did mean helping myself to one of Deans snails................... tasty :roll:

Excellent news Dave.

Glad you came though it was great fun.

At least you got out there and had a lap.
