Just had a hell of a thunderstorm whilst trying to work on the car, outside.

Thats why i got a trailer years ago, its not worth the hassle waiting for the rac or the expense

Unfortuantley I've not got a vehicle suitable for towing (I think my A3 is probably a bit small and the Supra needs some new tyres) otherwise I'd have had it on a trailer to knockhill. Managed to get it towed for

Be the first time for me if it is. Elvington's a bloody awful place, no cover anywhere, unless you're in the Zen elite.

Want a popup tent Gerry?

Takes 3 seconds to put up! used it at knockhill ,was very handy for storing stuff. Takes a bit longer to put down though... one week and still coutning, its still in the back of the car, kept attacking me while we were waiting for the RAC! :lol:

Thanks Michael. I already have a small fisherman's tent from Aldi for storing stuff. It's been reaaly useful, not only for keeping the gear dry but also hiding it away from prying eyes.

Thanks for the offer. Sou'wester is what I need

I would have like to enter again but on cover at work.

Its a good event to enter but not very good at all for spectators.

The handling circuit is good and is exactly that, apart from the power needed for the launch at the start its anyones really, weather always throws in unpredictablity.

No need for brakes, just turn your wheel to slow and mind you don't run into the marshall in the stop box :lol:

Just got the news that Gerry has run an 11.5 @ 116 and promptly killed the gearbox!!

Great times but these bloody cars are so tempestuous.
