    Yeah I don't know where TSV came from, it just kind of became!! hahaha

    Knuckles prepared ready to be blasted as Modus on Tuesday as I'm borrowing their blasting machine.

    Then off to Hockley for machining I think, £120 to machine the knuckles and the brand new Febi hubs I'm about to buy.

    Just need the bearings and we're back in business for Blyton in later June.

    Sadly when hubs are machined 95% arnt done right. Hence the snapping. Glad you and the car are ok tho, as the disc holding the wheel on really isnt good! Seen it before on the road was bad, let alone the track.

    Love that you took Mark out, he seems to really know the track, shame we couldn't hear him. That's always interesting. Hand signals are good tho.
    Cars looks great out there, nice power and handling.

    Glad.



    And a fucking cheese-less pizza? Shame on you. I'm sickened.

    These were from LMF mate, I'm sure loads of big block guys run them!!! Mad that we use them without realising!! For around £120 Hockley will machine hubs and knuckles and then you just add Audi bearings. I'll never run anything else again!!

    You're right Mark is a top guy, really easy to talk to and brave, I wouldn't get in a car that was part of a team that had the word Shonky in the name!! He said he's been out with some real clowns, who frankly, scared him!!! He was complimentary about my driving which Iain found hard to believe!!! He can never be happy when someone compliments me.

    The hand signals were really good, it sounds silly but when you have instruction you're wasting your time if you don't do what he says (or gestures) when he says, if you just carry on doing what you do then you're gaining nothing. Car position into Gerrards was the biggest thing I was doing wrong really, it's middle of the road and just hold the speed, then tighten the line and accelerate as you get to the first escape road on the right, clip the inside curb and let the power drift you out.

    For £20, I'll be honest, it's something I'm gonna look to book for around 10am on each new track, I'll certainly do so for Cadwell next time and I hope Blyton as I'll be proper schooled by Iain and Harvey there as it's their home track!!


    As for the cheese-less pizza, I'm telling you, it's revolutionary, I'm a pioneer, you guys are just too closed minded to appreciate the finer things in life.
