Mik Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Now you see why I think Cadwell is about my favourite circuit. Pity I spent more time fixing the car than actually driving it (and it's still misfiring). Got me home though. I enjoyed some of the track time I did get. Great day out.

99176 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Just looking at some photos my mate took (if I can figure out how to post them I will).What a fantastic track and well worth the marathon to get there.Apart from a top end mis-fire the GT6 behaved well. Right up to the point when thegear stick broke.Thanks guys for the tent pole and jubilee clips, which swapped ratios for the four and a half hour journey home.Roll on Castle Combe.Notes to Fred i) Thanks for another great day. ii) If you're going to spin, don't do it where photographers stand.

99176 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Yeah, the red TR6 with bumpers receives my 'plonker of the day award'.Not a great driver but found he could overtake anyone, as long as he waited'til after the chequered flag !Nice video Russell, great to have a reminder.
