And that was?

I hope I wasn't being too agressive :oops: :mrgreen:

Heh, ISTR you said it was something like just get close to their rear bumper to let them know you're there, and then back off and wait for them to let you past - repeat if they 'forget' you're around.

Aaahhh yes that one... :whistle:

I was worried that I may have done some of the BaT "No-Go" things like sit on the rear bumber, melting the plastic with my main beams on full :mrgreen:

bu88er :(

Can it be repaired or is it new zorst time? I'm guessing as that one's on your floor rather than the car that you've already bitten the bullet.

Just been back and imported the video from the day - unfortunately the morning sessions were unusable as the inside of the camera lens fogged up ( I used it on a wet trackday / skiing trip a few years back - there must be a little moisture left inside ) and so the video has come just from the afternoon sessions.

Video is linked on the Event Video forums - see

Glad the car is all fixed. Hope it did not cost too much.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

You've got more rubber on the ground than I have! :lol:

I guess that rear wheel may have been a bit out of alignment, though :oops:

I'm just glad it wasn't taken from the other side!

:lol: not at all - I'm quite over that incident now. The only downside is the new paint on that corner shows up the rest of the car! I might have to seek out a gritter and drive next to it to even things up a bit.
