What is your car in for routine stuff hopefully

I'm hoping to bring both the CSL and the Escort

. Definitely the CSL, the Escort is dependent on whether I can get the clutch sorted in time.

In Shimmy's case routine stuff usually means another engine, gearbox & diff

Great to meet up with everyone again, along with some new peeps as well

.

Special mention goes to "leaded" and his amazing car control - I thought my attempts at "sliding" (on the empty wet track) were okay, but his proper full on lurid drifts (all the way around Corum) were in another league

. Fortunately, I had the best seat in the house

.

After we both got black flagged I felt a bit guilty about the poor marshal apoplectically waving his flag at us as we did syncronised drifting out of Murrays just before pulling off the track (especially as leaded ended up receiving the brunt of the wrath)

.

Everything was going so well with both cars until near the end of the day when the front prop UJ siezed on the Escort (second time in 12 years), resulting in it needing to be recovered. At least I had one reliable car

.

Of course I can't go without mentioning Billy and Adem's mighty track car - what a machine - forget about CSLs - this is where it is at

.

How was the weather Mike?

And where are the pictures of Billy's Vauxhall Corsa?

Great until just before lunch time and then it was basically a wet track for the afternoon.

It wasn't a Corsa, it had 4-doors
