Just had to drop the Noble off at Bruntingthorpe for another odd noise with no apparent reason and wandered over to the Supercar lifestyle Experience too see if a fellow JLR employee could give me a lift home and what should I spot but a CSL in the car park! Anyone from here?

Mine was there yesterday - under a plane!

The Noble guys had a blue M12 (I think) going through its paces on the runway. Looked awesome.

I'd be careful parking the car under a plane as they leak all sorts of oils and corrosive nasties from many orifices - even old ones which have been emptied of fluids :bigcry:

Yeh, this was a dry bit - the only hazard was sh*t loads of pidgeons roosting in the wing. I'm a bit concerned about the internal mirror so park in the shade whenever I can. Must get it fixed.

I believe the Bruntingthorpe staff hold their Xmas party in the old Boeing - don't know what it's like inside.

Sound advice though, much appreciated :thumbs:

Hahaha - yeh, but have you noticed I got the symbols the wrong way around? The symbol for your country should always be on the left.


D'oh :banghead:

I'll order new ones when I get around to it.

Cheers pal, I tried to take them off the night before due to the issue I mention on another thread but they wouldn't budge unfortunately. I'll have another go when I have time.

Car was awesome on the Bruntingthorpe circuit (with Colin from CAT), it felt amazing. The Alcons certainly did the job :) trail braking into a chicane from 125 - 130 otc :supz:

Its Inspection 1 time Wednesday then it's off to Stratstone Leeds for a few days display duties for the M3 / M4 launch.

How's your beast? All gremlins sorted?

Have you driven the A4212 between A470 and Bala?

Glad you're enjoying the car. Throttle issue was down to low fuel and hasn't happened since.
Not been across to Bala in a few years.....is this a recommendation.
I've been doing Newtown to Llandrindodwells on the last few run outs. Island to Island 25 miles. Early run outs avoiding powys' finest!!

Have a run across the A4212 - in fact I'll bob down and join you, I think it's a hidden gem. Sssssssssch - don't tell anybody else though.

Just looked at it and I think I accessed it via the B4391 from the A470.

A483 looks good :supz:

Anytime Rick, just PM me......might have a dry run this week. If you have time we can tie in a Newtown/Wells run. Epic when it's quiet.
