    I'm out :( :( :(

    Totally gutted, just can't afford it this month. £65 + fuel just isn't possible,

    Might be able to make it to watch but that's it,

    Get it sorted Sunday then.... you got the clutch and flywheel together second hand fromthe same car so will take little if any bedding in (it's already done a few 1000 miles)

    :)

    Depends how far away you are ?

    Im struggling for rubber at the moment, Im stuck in work on 12 hour days (7-7) so cant get anywhere to sort anything out. Can you have a word with them because if its dry then Im gonna need at least a set or two, Im on 18 rim, 235 preferably, can go bigger but will then rub on my arches.

    Be good if you can mate, me and Joe will probably end up having another CD off you ;)

    Been working on the car all day today, looked for my oil leak but couldnt find it and doesnt seem to be leaking at all now, think it may of been leaking down from the cam cover which I have nipped up, will check it again tommorow for leaks.

    About 35 mile away, just down the A19 towards Sunderland.

    A mate might be able to get a truck if I need it.
    Hopefully I dont, just trying to prepare incase owt happens.

    You need to bring some wood, or a low jack. :smash:

    I've just got home from the track/Historic Stage.

    Weather at the moment is terrible! Horrible wind and rain! Meant that a couple of the cars went sideways though :wack:

    Not sure as to whether the BBC are going now. Shes just sent a message saying she would rather do it justice (in the dry). So not sure about her at the moment. Just means I can do more photo's for you's wanting a CD :thumbs:

    EDIT: BBC are not coming to this one but want to attend in March (due to weather) and hope it will be better! She wants to make drifting look even more awesome than it already is apparently and wants to come on a drier day to catch some tyre smoke and higher speeds! Hopefully cars will be back together and people will be testing in March too so more cars :)

    one more EDIT: For those who may want a CD of pics depending on picture quality, these are the ones I took today while I was setting up...
