If you book a £40 garage slot guys if you want one, then nearer the time I'll get Melindi to combine them so we can be in a double garage which can do 8 cars (if we have that many slots)

Since our last outing to Spa I've experienced the Spa lap according to Shimster
Conclusions.....I can now go a hell of a lot faster in the safe knowledge that I will keep the car on the black stuff........theoretically;)

Hotel La Source, Francorchamps, next to the track.
With me being away so much it doesn't look as though I'm going to have done my running in mileage ( after the engine bits being done ) in time to get it serviced etc before this outing.
Maybe look at the next one.

Nice one Ben. I did 5 laps over the weekend. It was busy but also shut quite a lot.
Bit disappointed with my brakes though. Full AP's and RS29's . After spa they were grinding. The drive to the ring helped but still high speed grinding and vibrations. Low speed not to bad. I need to pull the wheels of and take a look.

as Bounce eludes to the DS2500 and mayeb even the AP versions that come with the pack are not track pads and witht the heat they leave deposits which make you feelk like disc is warped. Soemthimes it clears, sometimes you need RS29 to clear them and sometimes you need to skim discs to clear deposits
stupid that AP still do it on the fronts
