I presume this is a free for all "wild west" affair. However, it might be worth going along for the craic.

Hopefully myself & phil (reckless) will be down driving the 325 for the full day.

We'll have new greenstuff pads allround because we dont want a re-inactment of the last days wear rate (about 7mm in 4 sessions!).
Fingers crossed we'll have the DIY cold air intake done by then too.
Also, I've pulled out some more of the carpet and insulation so we'll be a bit lighter - that stuff is REALLY heavy.
Oh and a new rocker gasket, so no more smoke screens :(

CANNOT WAIT!

Hope you'll have an improved camcorder mount as well Paul.

I'll be there for a look and maybe a shotgun ride as well.

No no. I'm bringing a shotgun with me for the ride. It will help me skip the
queue.

Joking of course.

Hey don't worry. Gary only drives a Micra so he's not important. The camera angle wasn't too bad Paul. If you had your lights on we could probably see the dials better. I think we can hear your brake pads wearing away.

First lap is 1:15

I'm pretty sure I recorded a lap on your digicam alex, I'm sure its terribly shaky, but any chance of you uploading it?

Here is the video of one of my last laps in Mondello. Paul (llatsni) was trying to hold the camera. (its only a little digital cam, not a camcorder). Phil, your vid was very shakey and too long. Might put it up later on. Hope this works.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/C13A7A00-404D-4B02-987D-C ABE2B0CA29B.htm

`Twas one of my slow laps. Here are my excuses:

1. Its at the end of the day so my tyres were hurting.

2. I locked up the back on a downchange to second on the right hander. (very hard to heel and toe)

3. Paul is really heavy and slowed me down.

p.s. have a look at the mini turbo on the video web site.
