29th August 2010 - Mallory Park Tintops Race
We were a little keen getting to the circuit this morning and arrived way too early. We had time to set up for the day, have a cup of tea and bacon sandwich and then go for a walk around the track
Tony had not driven around Mallory...
Saturday 12th Jun 2010 - Oulton Park Tintops Race
Another sunny race day, another circuit. The full International layout at Oulton Park. After wearing out our Hankook tyres at Anglesey and not being able to get any replacements, we had no choice but to choose another...
Anglesey Testing - Friday 21st May 2010
It was a lovely morning as we made our way to the Anglesey circuit for our first proper test session. Hopefully we would be able to improve on the setup we had at Brands. We arrived at the circuit mid morning and were immediately taken aback by the...
Thought id post this for a giggle.
We didn't practice a stop in full race gear before Brands, just a few slow run throughs to figure out the best way to do to do belts etc.
Brands Hatch stop took us around 40seconds.
After this practice at Anglesey prequalifying, we found out we had done it...
Sunday 9th May 2010 - Brands Hatch Tintops Race
A grey and overcast morning met us at Brands Hatch for our first race meeting.
We setup our area for the day and got the kettle on. With us for the day were our friends Bomber and Mike. They were a fantastic help throughout the day...
So as you know we had yet to drive the car on circuit and with our first race meeting at Brands Hatch fast approaching, we were contacted by fledgling company 'Steathsport' to accompany them to the Performance Car Action Day at Castle Combe.
A few prep jobs to do before we started and then it...
As you may be aware me and Tony Hunter are racing this season in the Classic Sports Car Club's Tintops series.
Many, Many months of work have gone into building the car from a bare shell. Loads of unforseen problems have been overcome and yesterday the car hit the rollers at Tour-De-Force again...
This was all written at the time it happened and posted elsewhere.
As most of you will know 2 years ago I bought a Phase 1 from Daniel to use as a track day car. It did turn into a bit of a major project/obsession and as been a lot of fun...
Went into the local dealers today to get some injector seals for a mate.
The guy said they were £14 for a kit, sounded a bit steep for some small rubber rings but I said yea ok. Then the guy asks how many I wanted :S
''I thought you said they were a kit?''
''yea, per injector''
''£7 each for...
After Monday's fun at Bedford, (Thread here)
I hadnt had much time to try and sort out the problems the car has. To much rear brake bias. Fitting another set of front pads has helped a little and today i was on track at Mallory Park for the Practical Performance Car show.
My First time at...
...........In the metal
306 1.9D It went on the M5 near Strensham services covering the middle lane with oil (so much so they had to get the gritting lorry out to try and soak it up)
Number 1 piston made a bid for freedom at 3,500rpm and succeeded. Punched its way through the...
What do we think?
A customer of mine had the headgasket go on the M5 on this, he was on his way to RTTS.
Some real neat touches on it, The parcel shelf made me chukkle.
I kind of like it
Went to Bedford on Monday afternoon with Tony Hunter, to give my car its first track outing of the year. It was the first time we had driven the full GT layout and i rather like it.
It was dry when we arrived and we started to play with the damper settings. (Swapped to AST's over the winter) We...

Burp's 2008 Review
Back in January I decided that I'd like to do more trackdays. Up until that point I'd only done a few of Clarkie's airfield sprint days in my phase2 172.
It was our main car and I didn't want to track what was, at the time, a very tidy example that was still worth...
Had a ride in this twice now. Awsome bits of kit.
Was at Oulton park back in August and blagged a ride and saw the guy again there last month. Stuck my camera to his windscreen to get some footage...............
The car has a lap timer fitted so it records the times off the circuit beacon...
