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!

No photos as I was driving but on the M11 today I saw a Ferrari Mondial. Even better was that it was being piloted by what appeared to be a 125 year old woman! The car looked really tidy, the old lady however looked like that bowl of fruit that you neglect and it goes all wrinkly, bruised and fuzzy.

I have a feeling I know which one you mean and I agree... I know that business used to build gearboxes for another specialist that was too busy to do them and they stopped using said specialist because of the failure rate. To the OP. I'd make a trip somewhere else to get it looked at. AW...

Just to add to this, my old engine in my 197 never used oil at all but it started making noises I didn't like so I chucked another engine in that supposedly was fine and ran brilliantly. Which to be fair, it made good power and feels strong, however it'll happily use a litre per trackday. But if...

It's a very sporty wooly hat.

Discs will be fine I reckon, a few stops and they'll clean up nicely, the tyres should be replaced though. I'm now replacing the 5 year old tyres on my X5 because I don't know what they're realistically like. So discs should be ok. Tyres go in the bin.

I got all excited and washed it. Does that count? First time in a year it seems as it was f**king minging!

If you listen to podcasts it's worth listening to theirs - C.R.E.A.M (Cars Rule/Ruin Everything Around Me). An hour of them chatting s**t and taking the piss out of each other, talking about projects, wants and general nerdery. They set up a separate channel for it too so you can see what...

2:19.33 in the wet. On Direzzas. Never got a time when I was there in the dry recently though. That's in my 197 with YSR coilovers, 225 Direzzas and I think the car would have been 206bhp at the time? Not that it made much difference in the wet.

I see one every now and again, that one is much tidier and less rusty than the one I see. The one I own... Mmm... Crunchy.

A few from last year. A bright Datsun, a crosseyed kit car and some old Fiat.

Following on from Blyton was a day up at Oulton. Oulton is my favourite track but sadly it's so f**king far away, a day there turns into a £1,000 3-day event usually as it's 5 hours with the trailer, I usually end up booking a hotel for 2 nights too. The car was in good company with a couple...
