Alright Aryton Senna, calm down..A bit late to the party I know, but yes, it was my car, 1st time out in it on track which threw up a knackered OS outer CV joint after about 4 laps, hence the reason I was taking it easy, or it could have been the Mrs driving, also her 1st time out in it and was struggling to see over the dash as the seat needed raising 😂
I don’t know what you were driving, but it’s a shame I wasn’t in my old R26 as I doubt you’d have got anywhere near it, but hey ho, there’s always next time 😘

Good on you for posting, don't take it personally. It was just the numberplate vs the reality that had me laughing.

Hope to see you out on track again this year Roger

Was your CV joint busted too Roj?

Well it would do as there’s no load on them in a straight line is there? 🙄

rogerreno said:

Yep, about the 4th lap out it was knocking like an impact gun on left handers. Didn’t fancy blowing to pieces as it was early on so babied it for the day. Trust me, it frustrated the s**t out of me as I love Anglesey.
Turns out when I replaced the driveshafts that it had had a driveshaft spacer fitted to the OS and not the NS (where it should have been) so left me wondering if that was the cause of it knocking.
It was my 1st time out in it on track since buying it and it showed up a few issues which I’ve just about sorted, the main one being I hadn’t really gelled with the car as I’m constantly comparing it to my old R26 which felt so much more planted.
Anyway I didn’t realise it was a race, so sorry if I ‘held you up’ Carl… maybe this year I’ll be on it and we can have a proper battle on the track rather than willy waving on a forum in front of your mates 😂😂

So you took a broken car on track? Sorry mate that’s not cool.

rogerreno said:

As it was my 1st outing on track with it of course I didn’t know it was broken, a knocking CV joint isn’t really the sort of thing you can see 👀

RustyMojo said:

Sorry to poke Roger, but this isn’t adding up. You were on track and driving slowly with a knocking CV joint. But you couldn’t see it so just kept going on track?

Krarl said:

CV joints have no load when straight ✅
Krarl= Ayrton Senna ✅
Drove his car on track and it had an issue, didn't go back to the garages straight away ✅
Says his Mrs then went out in it ✅
Can't see a blue Clio up his chuff every corner but boots it on every straight ✅
Sets microwave to eleven for maximum kebab✅

Ok pal

rogerreno said:

Sorry, I wasn’t important enough to have a garage, so drove it back to the paddock area where I checked it over and couldn’t see any visible signs of a problem. CV boot was intact and I deemed it ok to carry on. Didn’t realise I had to run it by a panel to go back out with it 🙄

You do actually have to run it past our resident CSF Mekanik @dann2707. He was awarded the title as he can quickly and efficiently run under the car and check. Due to his compact size you don’t even need to jack the car up.

If you come to CSF25, you’ll know who he is as he should have a high vis on with the title ‘Shaft Inspector’ on the back. He’ll always look like he’s miles away but he’s not, it’s just because he’s short.

Ffs lads give the guy some credit. (Not so) Fast Roj has come here and owned up, held his hands up and said let's revisit next year and see if he's (Moderately) Fast Roj or (Super) Fast Roj.

No need to completely tear him apart!

Edit, or completely blow his mind with madness too it seems 😅

leeds2592 said:

Very true. I think we should invite him to our curry night. He’ll either love it, hate it or think we’re the weirdest, most acoustic people he’s ever met 🥴

Sir Nancy Flowers said:

I was sat on the table across the room (yeah, thanks for the invite.....) and I can confirm you guys are proper acoustic.

Then again I had @Cads to my right, touching my leg and getting kinky with his handcuffs and @MarkCup to my left announcing that his 'extra hot phaal', and I quote, 'Wasnt that hot' whilst he proceeded to sweat profusely.

Good ol' CSF.

Krarl said:

It was the duality of CS in that curryhouse

The autistic screaming kids table and the quiet parents table. I'm fairly certain we managed to radicalise @OEM Battery Nonce and turn his brain into mashed tatties

It was the first time in my lads life that he realised “perhaps my Dad isn’t a complete weirdo” that curry was a real turning point in his young life

OEM Battery Nonce said:

It was amazing, not only the duality of CS, but the duality of he the "Parents Table".

It was clearly divided into those who sat there thinking "thank god I'm not on that table with that absolute rabble" and those thinking "I wish I was sat with them lot arguing over how many big crisps to order".

Kind of Prorl to get the bill too.

It cracks me up everytime I get reminded of it.

Krarl said:

And you sat there thinking "f**k I wish I was sat over there" 😂


Your arse was lethal

And you kept farting which made things worse

@rogerreno.

Get yourself down to the curry house the night before if you come this year, you'll be able to see the eclectic mix of people you're sharing the track with.

I was in the grey mini and got black flagged on the first lap for letting someone past on the offside, it wasn't intentional, I was just slow as f**k. @Filters also gave me some constructive criticism straight after the session that I was taking s**t lines and picking loads of rubber up.
