Spring Performance Car Action Day @ Castle Combe
Well it's been an eventful day!
Firstly I woke up late to convoy up with a for mates, then when I fulled up I noticed a small water leak from the thermostat housing but thought I could keep topping it up through the day. Got on the motorway and decided I be silly to risk the engine after all the work I've had done to it for turned around 5mins later water temps got stupidly high and I pulled onto the hard shoulder and switching the engine off.
Gave the old man a ring and he towed me home, got under the car and it was the elbow that connects to the thermostat housing..... the clip came loose and out came the water
Fixed it and then had a huge air lock that took ages to sort out. Took it for a quick spin through the lanes for a test run (to scare the old man and because I missed my 1st session).
A mate managed to sell my 10am slot, so got up there by 11:25am.... sorted my breifing and brought another session.
Went on my first session (13:45) and on the warm down lap when I turned right I heard a odd sound..... after inspection I noticed the wheel was loose! All 4 wheel bolts on the passenger side wheel had almost come off! The second bad luck I had!
The other two sessions went great, think the only car that overtook me was a madly tuning Scooby P1 but that didn't pull away to much!
And then for the thrid bad luck (things come in three's) My in car camera didn't record a single second! The device is saying the memory card is full and the memory car is empty!
Anyone as even photo's or videos then please post them up!
Sorry I didn't get around everyone was pretty busy and did bump into one or two when in the que to go on track!
