We were racing all weekend with the Super in Ipswich. Sarah is building up confidence and lapping quicker all the time and Jason's car is back on the pace. Should be included in the next world motorsports prog on Sky.

I went to Castle Combe in the 3dr and had a great drive down there. Met Pig onroute along with Hippie in his 400+ bhp Mk1 Escort & Neil in his twin turbo Rover V8 MK2 Escort. Had a good day watching the track etc and sorted another new exhaust for the Mex from Neil on the way home!

The only downside is that one of my rear callipers was binding, probably due to not being used in god knows how long, and managed to heat the disk up that much that it cracked right the way through! Luckily Pig suggested going to the track spares shop and they made up a Goodridge hose with two female ends so I could screw a bleed nipple into one end and blank off the existing hose. I then removed the calliper and drove home on three brakes! The joys of old Fords! :-D

Mind you its now the perfect excuse to upgrade to larger disks & 4x4 callipers on the rear like I was going to do eventually anyhow. 8)
