GTD Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Cheers Alex - love that swinging wing mirror! Still I had a great view of the ground just under my right elbow from it! Good to see you and Rachael there too - and for once the sun dance worked!! G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad 619 GTD here here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Cool pics Alex ☹️ ☹️ I couldn't go. We were going out - so rearranged so I could go - then at last minute work calls ☹️ ☹️ Fortunately Sky was running fifth Gear stuff early on Saturday and I got to see the piece on the Caterham Academy starring our very own Pat - well seen for a brief second fueling a car. So excited, I waited for the +1 channel to show it so I could record it - sad I know. Hope it was a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Oily thing under the bonnet is still drinking oil faster than Rossybee can drink Stella 😳 If she can last out the summer we'll get the engine rebulit after the track day season The reason for the early departure was an unrelated alternator problem (again ) Just as we were starting to enjoy ourselves too ☹️ Did my confidence the world of good to be out there with those big cars Roll on Cadwell (where I will be attending in my wifely sandwich making support role) (or should that be roll 🤔 ) Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Darn those alternators! You seemed to be handling things well out there - and the overtaking rules for RMA meant that you had to deal with rather more 'aggressive' passing moves round the long corners too! Had a great day - worth the hours it took me in the M11 car park on the Saturday morning!

Boonie Hound Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 GTD - just looked at Alex's fine pics and noticed one of your stickers is not on straight..... 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs GTD Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Boonie, I'd be very surprised if any of them are on straight. He did them all himself, un-soopervised, un-der the influence 😳 😬 pants are steering carbon fibre wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Boonie - think you'll find that the sticker is straight, it's the car that's not quite level G 4 Geoff Leather Good - Carbon Fibre Bad 619 GTD here here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 😬 Did the 'take the bonnet off for less weight' idea - as pictured - work? 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTD Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Funnily enough the lack of bonnet was the result of the 'oh-my-God-the-throttle-cable-has snapped-coming-out-of-the-chicane' moment!
