Had a fire in the engine bay last night

Zak's dropping by my house tonight to see what damage has been done.

Then I can go through insurance to get it sorted,

2.5 conversion anyone

Initial thoughts are some wiring and hoses frazzled, just glad I was near home so I could start chucking buckets of water over it.

Keep thinking if I was in the middle of nowhere would just have to stand back and watch it burn

Another of Milamber's Weather Predictions so it will probably be wrong

Heavy showers all week.

Don't let that put you off though the speed of these things is magnified in the wet and really puts it into perspective. They still get downforce remember and stupidly super-grippy tyres. Just amazing.

C'mon everyone take a day off and come along

Car getting serviced tomorrow from the nice boys at Xtreme tomorrow, bit of overboosting (1.75 bar ) and a rough idle.

Shame they don't clean it whilst it's there

Thumbs up

Right, I've managed to get some time free at work so can now make this.

But Trace needs the car for work.

Would I be able to to jump in with any of you guys, to save me going in the van? (I would need to be dropped back in Thurrock area though if possible)

Cheers

Brian

Tiny bit miffed having got back from Tuesday testing!

Access was limited to between Luffield (I was informed but never tested) to Copse which I definitely tested. I wanted to spend some time at Becketts.
