There are three cars over here we have seen with LVS graphics, the Mk4 that was with this group is the one who had the fire, all in the car are Ok.
Thanks for the info mate, glad to hear they're all ok! Sad times about the car tho, long way to tow a wreck back to Lincoln!:(

Would be good to get an update on the VWR brakes wear patterns post them being rotated to correct orientation.

Looks like you lot are having a fine old time of it over there  :drinking:

The Red Baron looks to be having a great time on track too. Any action pics of the car on track yet? Any times for the VLN laps? :party:

Need more input! :driver:

Steve the latches on the hood; aren't they closer to the windshield than NeilM's?
You need some closer to the front to prevent a non GF only CF hood from lifting  :happy2:

....I was surprised when Steve told me at JKM recently that he'd had probs with them. There aren't that many locations on the Mk5 bodywork under the bonnet which offer a secure fixing point but the further back, the more the potential adverse leverage. I took VWR's advice and compromised where mine were fitted: On a very firm anchorage but not as firm as Steve's further back. However, Steve's car is much faster than mine. Obviously I have retained the oem central bonnet catch/lock as well.



Glad the weather has been good for you, Steve. Brings back memories of when Hurdy and I did it. Fabulous that you've got 2 days  :happy2:

Sorry to go on about this again. I'm guessing that one of the other LVS cars is a white Audi A3? Do you know if the LVS guys have headed back home yet or are they still there hooning the A3 about? :smiley:
