I'll keep an eye out for you bud, hopefully it should be a good day! Can't wait to have a blat around Silverstone again!
Im sure I've just seen you Ape, by Worcester road motors in stourport? I was heading out of stourport about 10ish. Me followed by a White Clio sport.
Cars looking good

Cheers RS6 
More than likely Barn, I live 2 minutes from there, we were on our way back home at about that time. Needed to drop the LCR at home and take the Insigniabarge out to tow a mate home after he'd broken down.
Car's washed and serviced and all ready to go to Trax tomorrow now I've changed the recirc on my dump valve to atmospheric. Not sure if I like the noise but it seems to pull harder, will take the bung with me tomorrow just in case.

A couple of Vids from Trax. The first was taken by Chungster (cheers bud!)

Cheers for those El!! Shame they're so expensive to buy, tried upscaling but no look
Small update today, the "Shed" passed it's MOT with no advisories (I even left the HID's in!), although it's shopping list for the next few months is:
Oil Cooler (140*c oil temps are NOT good)
4 New Tyres (May have a change from the Parada's but we'll see)
Badger 5 TIP v2
Get graphics redone properly.
New DS3000 Pads
To do:
Sell standard parts when I get round to it, SMIC's, Downpipe, Splash guards, Air Box and some other things.
Find somewhere to store the Interior now Mrs. Ape has moved in
Get the idea of breaking it for parts and build a locost kitcar with the 20v engine out of my head!

Unfortunately not at the moment chap It's been a tad unloved since its last Track Day at Silverstone.
I've thought about taking it off the road for the winter so I can really get cracking on it, but I enjoy driving it too much! Got a few bits to take off and sell, along with a few standard parts still in the shed.
Its not been cleaned since September I'm so ashamed!

Aye I know
I've been too busy driving it and enjoying it, along with having a Mrs. Ape and a full calender hasn't given much time to tend to the upkeep.
I've got most of the standard parts I've replaced with upgrades, things like:
OEM Downpipe
OEM SMIC's (Nearside and Offside)
OEM Air ducts for FMIC (Nearside and Offside)
OEM Lower Charge Pipe (connects the two SMIC's)
Forge Motorsport TIP
I've also got the interior as well, in two minds about selling that as I don't know when I'll be able to afford the new seats and roll cage. The Rooflining and Pillar Trims are already sold when I've removed them.
There's more stuff as well but I can't visualise it all at the mo. I've got pics at home.

Wow what another epic read.
It was a while back in the thread now but at one point you said the insane colour wheels will be the new thing and the more I see yours the more I think your right!

Acky - What can I say, I'm like the overweight straight Gok Wan of the Wheel Fashion World 
Cheers 8Bit, they'll be getting redone as soon as I have a spare pound or two. (along with everything else!).
Had a new light on the dash I've not seen before... It was the Brake Pad warning light, letting me know they're a little low. I thought this was clever... considering I've disconnecting the wiring for it!! They do need replacing rather sharpish though!

The low Brake Pad warning light appears to be intermittent, so when I can afford to replace the pads I'll have a look into it. It's not being used much at the mo as I'm waiting to get hold of some Yokohama AD08's, cheapest I've found so far is around £650 inc VAT delivered. I think it'll be a purchase soon after Christmas, along with the brakes, and then it's back onto saving up for the Cage, Extinguisher system and Electric Cut offs
