Without a stop around 2 1/2 hours. I usually travel down the night before as my sister in law lives in Branston which is only half an hour away.
I also camp over in the summer which is a good craic but didn’t fancy it this time with the cold and rain, so I set off at 3:30am. Found that much...
A couple of my favourite shots from Cadwell last Saturday.
It was my first outing with Open Track and found it much better organised than Javelin, who I’ve used for the last two years.
It’s a shame they don’t do Croft Circuit which is my local track, but Cadwell is still my favourite and...
First stone chips on the new paintwork [emoji3525]
Touch up paint from Myldan Auto Design to the rescue. Perfect match. Here’s a link for reference - https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F162467054088
After a long winter break it’s time to get the old girl out of hibernation.
Reconnected the battery and she fired up straight away.
First outing at Cadwell Park this Saturday, then shortly after that I’ll be fitting plenty of upgrades.

Time to replace the exhaust.
The car currently has a K-Tec variant which is now blowing from the rear box. The exhaust tips are also past their best and I’ve given up patching it up. A quick attack with a cutting grinder and it was off the car in no time.
I’d looked at another K-Tec...
A few more jobs sorted on the daily today.
First job was to take my track car steering wheel out and replace it with my newly refurbed ‘Snappy’ wheel.
After removal I got a few extra warning lights that I wasn’t expecting. ABS, ESP and SERV lights usually point to the steering angle sensor...
Thank you. I have an idea of where I’m going with it and so far so good. Still plenty to do. The Turini’s certainly look great.

After the ring I did another 4 trackdays. Two at Cadwell and two at Croft which are my local tracks.
Cadwell is definitely my favourite track of the two.
First visit to Croft in the car. Lots of other Clio’s about but enjoyed following these guys around in their mint 182 Cup in Racing Blue...
A week on so decided to give her some protection.
Although noticed this on one of the Turini’s. Looks like they haven’t cured properly, so they’re going back in to be sorted.
A few more things to do include the steering wheel, which has gone off to ‘Snappy’, the rear beam is getting...
With the paint restoration complete and the newly refurbed Turini’s fitted, the car has been transformed. Still lots to do but it’s getting somewhere near to where I want it.
I must learn how to take nice photos.
