It's totally f***ing f***ed mate *
* misfiring...the source of which Mortimers have completely failed to locate and remedy despite having four weeks to do so. Grrr.
Lastly, I didn't do cameras et al, I just enjoyed the day. I got a little footage from my phone, and have dashcam footage of my runs.
So here's a quick 90 seconds showing an entertaining 3 series compact, a Spitfire taking off because Goodwood is always doing Goodwood things and it sounds...
How was the i3? Capable, in the right hands very effective, but I could only manage 4th in class (RWD under 2000cc) and 7th overall out of 28 entrants.
If I'd stayed in my usual class (RWD over 2000cc) I'd have won it by over 10 seconds :ROFLMAO:. As it was, I was beaten by 2x MX5s, and a...
June 2024 GRRC Autosolo
To set the scene...
Our play ground for the day
The day's base of operations
Which had the usual Goodwood accoutrements to take an interest in between runs
20 years ago today, I did my first ever trackday in my 7 month old Clio 172 Cup. Google reminded me earlier, so here's a 33 year old me and some 172 Cup love :love:
Yeah still on the standard OEM Bridgestones. A week later and the fronts don't look quite so trashed now, but the rears on on the wear indicators...so I'm getting a consistent 11k miles from those.
Nope. Nor did it catch fire. Nor did it win.
However, if I stayed in my usual class (RWD over 2,000cc) I would have won that class I think. But I argued that I should be in the lesser class because my cc is technically nil. D***head.
Front tyres took a battering, and there's really not a lot...
Give it a once over and a quick top up, all ready for the Autosolo tomorrow.
I genuinely have no idea what to expect...it's gonna be a laugh finding out what this thing is like when driven properly in anger though, the instant torque and tight turning circle could be quite advantageous 😎🏁
22,000 miles now, no issues, have had two front tires but apart from that it's been a solid fun little daily.
With my Cayman unwell I'm running it next Saturday in the GRRC Autosolo so today saw some weight saving efforts...
It gave me passenger restraint warnings and told me to drive to a...
Not yet. Swapped variocam solenoids, still misfiring on 1 + 3 whereas it was 1 + 2 + 3 before I swapped them. I'm giving it new plugs + coils all round with a new camshaft position sensor tomorrow.
If that doesn't fix it then it's a full scan with my mates diagnostic kit to see if that sheds...
I've had my 8 Pro a couple weeks now, coming from a 6 it's exactly the same, except it's noticably faster, the screen's noticeably sharper/smoother/brighter, 5x lens is great as is wider wide-angles both front and rear.
I honestly can't say I notice the miniscule screen size increase over the...
I forgot to update this...but I have positive news...
I got chapter and verse back to the SumUp support team on 11th March explaining clearly that both us and our customer are not dodgy AF money launderers.
It took them two weeks to agree, and they then increased my transaction limit on 25th...
