Life choices are currently being questioned 🤣

Continued stripping the Clio tonight for race prep. Took the half cage out tonight and found some... Well.. Oh... It'll be fine... To be fair I've looked inside the sill and it all looks clean and tidy, this is just where the arch liner clip goes onto. It'll get plated tomorrow when the cage...

You're certainly piling the miles on! Must be one of the higher mileage (new) 5's out there?

Dashboard fell out tonight. And by 'fell' I meant that I swore at it and cried and stubbed my fingers and generally got shitty with it until I managed to pull it out. Dash bar needs to come out next so I can remove the heater matrix ready for the micro heater and cage to go in. Building a race...

A few years ago I stripped the rear of my 197 out, fitted a half cage and realised the boot floor vibrates like a motherfucker, so I put some sound deadening down. That was a mistake. Today I've been taking out the sound deadening. This s**t never went hard so it's been an hour per section so...

Prep for Knockhill, just a checkover and a service. It shows how s**t the cars are when it's easiest to get the oil filter off by removing the front bumper. Absolute cretins deciding that the oil filter needs a coolant hose right below it. Facebook reminded me of something too. Classic.

Few days ago now but me and a mate beat the ever-loving piss out of the Clio. Burned a litre of oil, 90 litres of fuel, a set of tyres and a set of pads in 200 track miles. What a beast.

I was secretly hoping you lot had a s**t time and made it sound miserable. Looks like I'm going to have to book next year!

3 wheeling round Anglesey?

Haven't touched the 197 since I parked it up a few months ago after an evening session at Snetterton so of course I've left it to the last minute as usual, trackday booked for Tuesday and the car needs discs and pads all round, tyres swapped front to rear, a service and a general check over...

Saw this as I came out of Tesco tonight. Sounded angry.

Bad wheels but it was at least a manual. Spotted at Clay Pigeon Raceway down in Dorchester yesterday.

This guy SeeYouLazer has been doing TDC/CREAM no context videos and they're brilliant.

They've both got the correct level of cartism which makes them easy to watch and the podcasts are great. Looking forward to the cheap track car challenge they're doing next but it's a collab with AutoAlex so hopefully it's not full cringeworthy shite.

Don't see these anymore!
