If it does work out well I'd at least do some trackdays early next year to see what all those mods have done to it. :driver:

Well t should have done three trackdays this month.  I was booked on bedford on the 2nd dec and oulton park on the 8th but had to cancel both of them. Luyckily they have given me vouchers so ive not lost the money.  Plus i always do a trackday at the end of december. 

Thinking of either Mallory or Donnington park at the end of the month.  I wont book that until last minute though because i dont know what the weather will be like.

Javelins weather policy is decent.  If its rough weather and cancelled you'll get to re book

I'm doing Bedford Mid March for sure

I was thinking about your car earlier Sy. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of the Homomobile with a broken ring.  :ashamed:

todays purchase

4x 205/45R17 Nankang Snow SV-2 winter tyres



Im moving to the north coast of Scotland in January so thought id best splash out on some winter tyres, as im pretty sre the Federal semi slicks would have been nothing short of shocking in the snow  :driver:

Had these on the last motor and they seemed pretty good.  Not as good as the vredestein wintracs that i used to run during winter, but they wrent to far off the pace.  Plus they were only £75 per corner.  Now i need some front spacers so I can fit the stock rims over the brakes.

Not much.  ill be mostly sat on the coast with my fishing rod, so im alright  :wink:.  Looked up the route as well.  Pretty much single carriageway the whole way there, so if it snows, it will be bad.

Nearest track is knockhill though which is 150miles away that sucks a$$ a bit, but i guess its not to far away.  Just have to get a travel lodge for the night.  I have about £150 worth of trackday vouchers to smash before i go because javelin dont do trackdays that far north  :scared:

Donington is now full on the 30th :fighting: so i might have to resort to going Mallory Park AGAIN on the 29th.  Not the best track, nor the worst, but its pretty short and not to taxing. Beggars cant be choosers.

Need a working car first though.  With any luck on Friday i should have a completed and fully functional car.....

Fingers crossed for you Sy. :happy2:
