I'll be sending my entry form off in the morning, lost my membership number and had to phone the membership secretary (very helpful by the way). Been wanting to try them for a while, thought why not! :)

Any tips for a newbie?

Just gotta prep the car, a few annoying problems to sort out, namely the fan belt squealing above 4000rpm. The thread in the head that the alternator bracket bolts to has stripped, so I can't get enough tension on the belt, so I'll be helicoiling that on monday. Also got to polish and reseal my clutch master cylinder, as that's begun to weep fluid.

Anything special I should prepare for in scrutineering?

Cheers
Tim

PS- I'll be in a multishaded green Mk 4 Spit ;)

Be smooth. Jerking the car around and trying too hard makes you slow. But it is fun!

You bonnet gets opened as does your boot. They look around to make sure there's nothing loose or unsafe and then if it's ok tell you you're fine. Just empty the car and make sure there's no crap which can fly around and hurt your head if you crash.

It's looking increasingly likely I'll have to use the triomatic acclaim...  :B
