[From The Beatles film "Yellow Submarine" for those too young to remember]

Will you be swopping the steering wheel for road use?

There'll be no steering wheel swapping, just glove wearing  :innocent:

Would like some track day gloves

I bought some gloves for go-karting and then some thin black suede(?) gloves at the 'Ring. To my surprise I have found that they make trackday driving very much more comfortable. And I don't suffer from sweaty palms.

Mike, I've found the lights in the tailgate give false failure reports. Give them a wiggle and should be good.

Wheel looks goo dude. Would it not be cheaper to get the flocking edible in a diff shade to match the alcantara?

Mike,

We shall have a discussion about this after Thursday. A set of B16's might clean the bank balance out, but not 100% yet.
