just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

The harshest ride I've ever experienced was in the back of a Ford Galaxy - not suitable for the road at all. Of course this may have been due to it being a cheapo cab provided by some tinpot company I worked for once. 45 minutes of stomach-churning, bone-shaking discomfort.
definitely begging for a passenger ride 
( loose bolt on the air-con compressor 
) and she's booked in for some fresh oil and brake-fluid next week. Really looking forward to this now

.. After the sighting laps I felt a little more confident - the track was beginning to dry out and by taking things very gently at first I was able to get a decent feel for how the car handles on the limit in the wet (handles well enough, but absolutely sod-all grip!). After about 4-5 laps I found I was starting to catch up with Pete (who was still warming up I suspect!) which was all very well until I came to Quarry corner, whuch had a dry entrance and, as it turned out, a wet exit...
Sadly the same couldn't be said for a chap in a track-prepped E36 M3 which had a big off shortly after and red-flagged the session :S(to recover!) the track dried out and I managed to get some good laps in. Combe is a hugely fun and fast circuit, but after my initial off I was very conscious of the ever-present barriers so it took a while to get comfortable with the circuit. I got there in the end though with a couple of really fun and satisfying stints after lunch where I was learning to adapt to and make the most of the track layout and 'interesting' camber here and there!

For a a second I was looking at the armco, but I countersteered and managed to come to a halt facing away from it in the grass. No harm done apart from being a bit shaken!
Feeling like I was able to push the car much harder than I was before. I wanted to go out for one more after that but it started p1$$ing down so we called it a day! Also I cant wait to get this old turbo off, because the damn thing kept smoking after idling for any period. and Brett, if you ever sell that car I want to buy that registration number - my initials!!!!! It honestly looks worse than it was, there was at least ten feet between the front of my car and the tyre wall. Still, enough to scare me when sliding across wet grass!
