TM Evo was taken at Donnington nearly 2 years ago

TM circuit outline is a mix of some of our favourite corners and track sections.

3 Weeks to go

LOL Now I know these are your photos (and I also hate to disagree with Moley who does my insurance so I don't want the premium to suddenly become less competitive than it is ) ....but I bet a pack of hula hoops that it is Brands not Donners.

You can see the skid marks where people always overcook it leaving the Druids hairpin in the foreground, plus the fences on the left/the ones at the bottom of the hill are deffo Brands. For comparison - the blue porker on your title page is in virtually the same shot. I'm so sad that I checked some on track vids to confirm - like the ones on your page

Anyway, just a bit of idle fun, but see what other idle pedants make of it.

I really fancied doing this but unfortunately my car is in pieces being refreshed at the moment- might even nip down if I'm about as it's only 15 mins from me.

Oh well, will keep an eye out for the next one - have fun chaps

If you look carefully on the TM photo you can even see some of the branches hanging down from top right from the trees at Druids - no trees at Dono...nor red and white kerbs

Dono or Brands?


Wider picture



Reverse piccie


Now ready salted or bacon? Hmmm

I'll go for the classic ready salted as we all know classics are best

That's why I posted the uncropped version with the bikes - if TM's one panned up a bit I reckon you'd see the armco and then the stands up by Paddock/pit exit.

Still looking at ready salted

PS Stormy/TM I know we're more than a little bit off thread and hope it's not hacking you off, but at least its a free BTTT

Check the kerb colour.... ready salted FTW

Have a look at the EVO GT35 MLR brands etc vids on TM's page -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5sVrwj5Yls - if you're quick with the pause as he rounds Druids you get a good view down Graham Hill that looks remarkably like the photo

Cheers! Be nice to put a face to a name, especially as you answered so many questions for me! (Plus I can ask you some more awkward Litchfield related questions! )

I want to at least hear T5NYW's car now as its got the exhaust setup on it I'm thinking of going for!

Right then guys this pains me to say but i hae had to pull out of this and i am absolutory gutted. Long story cut short popped up to API to get an oil change and get the front shocks looked at, and my front suspension is knackerd. Due to Proflex being stupidly busy as its the satrt of the new seansons soon they cant get mine in the workshop till the 8th of march so the car is off the road.

I hope you all have a cracking day and i look forward to seing you all at the next possible day, which i am hoping with be the day at Castle Combe.

cheers

steve

Yeah i suck massive *** mate but what can you do, no point getting to stressed over it.

stormy is being a legend and helping me out mate so i can not complain, just it would of been a cracking day out but there will be another one.

think whilst the car is getting done i am going ot treat it to a new set on AP 6 pots to cheer the situation up a little
