Donington Trackday Report: 08/12/07

quiet isn't the word... but then i spose i'm the complete opposite.

sorry - i didnt have you guys numbers, on the way home, down shifted from 5th, to 4th when coming off the motorway, and it was smooth as a babies bum...

tried all gears - all fine - no noises what so ever?! drove all the way home testing gears - could select them all again, without any problems - however, still getting new clutch now lol

Weird how its "fixed itself" Lol

Few pics:

I'm home woo! lol Went all the way back to get a new alt/tools and when removing the old one found the red wire had broken off the crimp. Bodged it on and got it home. :thumb:

Yeah your car does sound good down the straight Olly. :D Will wander down at the next one you're at too. :thumb:

Where abouts?
At the alternator end?

I had a look at that, and it did look a bit dodgy, but it didn't look broken lol

Yeah on the alternator, Mr "I checked the wiring and it looks fine" :p

Edit: just had a look through all my pictures and there's no good ones from the track lol

PMSL lol

I did check the wiring, i couldn't see the Red wire very well because of the inlet.
It did look dodgy tho, it was split, but it looked connected lol

looked a good day. shame about the french car lol..

Great pics LLTN, especially with the weather how it was...

Those 3x track pics aren't in sequence are they? no way did I catch that 306 up from under the CarLube sign, to passing him?

No mate, my cam is rather ****e, and takes a few seconds before its ready to take another pic.
By that time you were down by the first bend lol

There might have been a 2/3lap gap in between the pics, cant quite remember.
