Yes DreXeL mate, we saw the flames as well - at least for the first three laps, then they disappeared.

Can I just say I thought the Mini did well?

Silver TypeR

Spent the entire time chasing a white EVO (but not the one in the Pics above). Passed a P1, and a few others in the process.

I thought the EVO diff helped them out?, Obviously not.

Don’t suppose anyone has any pics of us? We were out on our own ahead of the second pitlane release for the last 4 laps.

Nate,
My mate in the 355 thought he had a puncture or some weird sound coming from his car felt a lot happier when I explained it was your exhaust

Had a fairly good run and kept it on the Black stuff I recently had a new clutch and it's dragging at high revs making gear changes carp. Sometime had to fight with the gearstick to get it in

Serious Qu.. Does anyone else keys fall out of their ignition when the engine is running? Its never been a problem before as the cornering speeds on the road are less.

It happened twice, and the ignition cuts out when the immobiliser went pedal ways!. First time on lap 4 on the straight and then on that corner for some Ignition cutout induced lift-off understeer. I showed a few people the 'trick' afterwards and no-one else's car did it.

Gotta hand it to that EVO he had some grunt on the straights, but id been right up his inside on the corners as he kept going wide and off line. When he slowed right down I started looking for the 'Red flags', like a muppet.

Good fun though


Edited to say, YEAH, gotta see the video, never been drifting before

TBH you can only just see part of your spin in the vid, as he was concentrating on my car. I'll get it up ASAP.

Its not an import thing, so it must be wear.

Can Subaru cut a brand new key from the number, a recut is going to have the same problem as the old one.

Someone did suggest I tie them to the indicator stalk next time.

Bit like me gloves on a string when I was a kid

My keys used to fall out in my old Nissan Micra! but have never odne it in the scoob, maybe you could do with a new ignition barrel? either that or live with it! i got to the stage where i used to start the engine then before setting off putting the keys in the ashtray so they didnt go under the pedals when i was driving

I was there in the GL Wagon ... bought me a new Pink stars badge

Tony nice to see the car in one piece ... looks like that T cut after castle coombe did the trick very tidy job and glad to hear you had a safe track session this time

Cheers mate, the people who I went with said I was lapping the quickest too, I thought they were just massaging my ego

I'm running 340bhp and have loads of handling mods and big-*** Brembos so it's not outside the realms of possibility.
