minivin Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 but a bit chilly on the wind side didn't get many photo's as the cold was restricting my camera finger (won't gonna tell Tara and Tracey that ). Only got one reasonable pic: A general "ooh, crissy-crossy madness": A part-view of the pits, nice to see the kids getting involved : My newly registered 109 and Ashley's Disco, Tonk asked if I had only used the hand brake, silly boy, of course I left it in gear as well : Darn Mundano in the way, didn't notice till I looked at the picture a few seconds ago: Tara, Ashley, Tonk and Tracey: They followed me back to the Tidworth-Bulford road, at which point I found out about the parp view you have at a angled junction, out of harness, leaning over the steering wheel to see up the road due to the soft top being a good barn door roll on the summer so I can roll-up the sides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minivin Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 GM said to tell you "give it a few more drives and you will love it as it is"!!!! said you would know what he meant? <cough> well the turning the steering wheel from 2 O'Clock to 10 O'Clock to keep it in a straight line was entertaining seems to go through corners nicely, but need a couple of bags of sand thrown in the back to compress the springs and move the prop away from the chassis, that should then solve that problem till the LT77 goes in, already got it cleaned and ready for work tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 FYI The Tomcat you see jumping is Jim he was with Ali, John and I as one of the six to set up the Shire LRC I think Brookies are sponsoring him this year. I think Anyway. Big thanks to Mark 90 for all his help yesterday sorry that we only managed one and a half laps after one front shock seized and a rear broke and we lost the rear diff on lap two. Always the way just getting warmed up and I broke the freelander big time. Vicky managed a six laps before a hard landing took out the IRD on her car but she managed to most laps out of all the class A competitors with the whole class DNF. Sorry to Tonk who managed to arrive minutes after I broke the car Big thanks to SCOR For a grate days racing and to all the marshals and stuff Car no 1 won the day (Pete Barret) I don't know how Nev got on with his truck he was doing well when I left.

minivin Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 it may do, but at least I can hit mine with a stick to get it going, rather than plug it into a Supurbo3001 Engine Diagnostic Analyser Platinum Edition to determine that an earth wire has come loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Big thanks to Mark 90 for all his help yesterday sorry that we only managed one and a half laps after one front shock seized and a rear broke and we lost the rear diff on lap two. No problem Jules, I was happy to help out and appreciated the chance of a seat in your car. Thanks for the ride it was great fun (just a shame it ended so soon) and would be more than happy to help out again if your are stuck for a bit of balast. Vicky managed a six laps before a hard landing took out the IRD on her car but she managed to most laps out of all the class A competitors with the whole class DNF. Well done to Vicky for getting so many laps in when many motors where dropping out, the hard ground certainly seemed to be taking it's toll on the vehicles. Does that mean she got a class win?

Does that mean she got a class win? No she only did 6 of 10 so she needed 7 to then use her three max laps to complete but never mind. I am still proud of her it was a punishing course and she was putting in some good times for a 1.8 freelander and she was holding her own against the Vitara I think she had a good leedon him I don't know how the Daihatsu buggy was doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Your quit right we all started somewere I started with a S11a HDP991E was my first LR when I was 16 ready for my driving test. how ever I did the head gasket before my test and I sold it and bought a RR 3.5 V8 efi of a mate when I passed my test. Aiy it's a good tool to start off with, just got to stop the coolant leak on one of the pipes and sort a few more bits over the next few months B) Keep getting offered S11's recently, must resist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Nev got on mighty fine finishing all 10 laps, although i got a puncture on lap 10 so cut back for a Maximum. I thought it was very rough but in a way that was good because it proved the MS install on my car!!!! And the liquid mud half way round proved thhat its not phazed by being jet washed with liquid Sidbury! Here is us on the start line for the first lap! Check out the radius arms - all my own work too!
