Spa - is everybody back ok?>?>

**shimmy** · 05-05-2009, 12:49 AM

coming back on the e40 after Spa and there was a car buried in the field next to the motorway, looked a real mess and about 15 cars had stopped and police everywhere.

i couldnt see what car it was as it was unrecognisable but i hope it nobody off here and i also hope whoever was inside is ok, but they would be very lucky

I'm just in after an 'emotional' trip home. I had my head out the window whilst driving to get fresh air to help stay awake!

Glad to be back - great weekend though!

I'm back, great trip, good to meet up with a few of you guys.

Disappointed I didn't get a clear lap on slicks but the theoretical best from the data logger data on the train on the way back cheered me up a little.

Shimmy was flying :D

I wish all trackdays were run to the european rules rather than the nannying ones we have in the UK.

PS. Shimmy - did you have to drive all the way home in limp home mode?

My gearbox light that came on in the first session and then seemed to come on for 2/3rds of all sessions went out on the way home, self fixing cars are the way forward

The driver who's plate finishes with BUX has been paid a nice compliment from another forum, (a porsche driver at the Ring)
He says your some driver

you can tell them i'm still learning the car (now with the pilot cup), but i'have done 60 (real) laps on the nordschleif and about 200 or 300 with my PS2, so i know the track.

getting the car back from BMSport Monday all fixed (apparently)

the limp mode was caused by a faulty throttle actuator
