    So MOT done, well, I say MOT, it went on the ramp and the brake tester!!!

    Decided the silver scoop was out of place



    My favourite, matt black!! Looks a touch better!!

    So onto Brands, me and this nobhead decided it was time we tried Paddock Hill bend properly so MSV it was, little bike ride through the woods to get the blood pumping first though!!



    Wet Wet Wet in the morning, loads and loads of fun!! Learning a bit of car control on what was essentially a skid pan!!!



    Then lunch time something peeked out from behind the clouds and the familiar question of "slicks?!?" Was asked about 20 times!!

    However before that we happened to find out that Brands has a weigh bridge, I couldn't resist!!



    I was really surprised at the weight!!



    Didn't think I'd be that light, almost impressed!! Haha

    Anyway so the afternoon session started dry on we were on slicks, well we performed a record speed tyre change Iain did 8 wheels on 2 cars in the last 6 minutes before the end of lunch!! Just as we were getting our helmets ready, this BMW driving dickhead, thinking he was a hero did this and brought a red flag out for 25 bloody minutes!!



    By the time it was cleaned up, the rain had started again, we, being bigger heroes than BMW boy, decided that slicks on a damp track was the right decision!! We didn't fall off and we were actually surprised by how much grip was on offer, however when the rain started bouncing off the track we decided to have a little break.

    We did get some proper dry laps in though and Paddock Hill bend is loads of fun in the wet and the dry!!

    Anyway, all in all, a rather good day, shame it was so expensive for what is a 60 second lap but we had loads of fun as always!!

    Videos to follow!!

    Good write up Housey. Rain is a bit depressing but you can still have just as much fun in it.

    I'll be impressed if its rebuild with M-tech bits. They must be getting expensive now surely.

    The rain worked well as we experienced the track in both conditions. Awesome day.

    I'm trying to buy a touring for the missus at the moment and the price is crazy. I sent her a photo with the caption 'e30s just gone up in price again'

    Housy forgot to mention the new camera footage is off his new GoPro with WiFi remote. Very nice kit.

    Yeah what Iain said!! On his advice I last minute (Sunday night) purchased a go-pro hero 4 silver and wifi remote, awesome bit of kit, so easy to start and stop videos and serves a double purpose as a session timer!!!!

    The added bonus of it is the outside footage is great but you also get to see me pedalling, working on that heel and toe!! Kind of getting it right!!
