Note to self is to get pip some spare wheels that will fit the red trailer easily, some 18in rx8 ones and If we have the same issue we can whip them on and we know it will go on the trailer.

Its all good because it what makes us a club and community. I would always hope the same would happen with me if I lunched something.

I\'m in the process of uploading some camera footage from my run out with Chris in the passenger seat. The turbo sounds very good but there is still a bit of wind sheer. Camera was stuck under the front bumper. Got another 4gb of footage after the run with me going to the garage at lunch :Giggle

At least I know what turbo I\'m going for and it will be the same turbo but with a bigger A/R and Ball Bearing ! I know it fits the manifold and they do work really nicely on track !

Great video Shaun -  I look forward to seeing more :mmmm

A huge thankyou to everyone who came along and made the event so enjoyable; on the track, in the paddock, and the night before in the Red Lion. Ian & I were the only two who stayed a second night and ended up having a very tasty meal (if a little overpriced) in Middlewich, in a Chinese restaurant a short walk from the hotel. We escaped just before the Karoke started :2eek

I\'ve only got home a few hours ago so haven\'t even viewed my video yet......

A real shame about Chris\'s problem, but pleased everyone was able to come up with a solution to get the car recovered and Chris home safely (well down Jim for the taxi service!) - that\'s what makes being part of the MRC so good. I really hope the car problem isn\'t as back as it sounded and that Chris is back driving it again very soon.

I\'ll post up some video just as soon as I get a moment!

It was a really good day I really enjoyed it. Hope Chris gets car sorted and the damage is not to bad (Fingers crossed)

@Shaun Great video footage mate that little camera works really well looking forward to more footage.

Here\'s one of two videos that I\'ve processed. This one is taken with the Novus Eye camera; NickD is giveing some tips. First lap, S-Finish line is 2m15, maybe even 2m14s? Second is 2m15s. Those were my best laps of the day, but I did do a 2m16s and 2m17s before the track got too wet.

Looks like your turn in is a lot better than mine. Nick did say the same for the left hander before the hairpin (not to slow down and to pull the car into the apex) but I just couldn\'t pluck up the courage to do it without slowing down. Although I was doing around 120mph when I got there ! Best I did was around 110mph and the car did feel squirmy.

One thing I enjoyed is Nick saying my car was a bit leery in the handling ! Said I was understeering quite badly, so I took 2psi out of the fronts and it improved quite a bit.

Do enjoy Oulton Park a lot !

Real good couple of days out with you all and well done Malcolm for arranging this for us :Thumbs-up,

One day I will get one of my cameras to work so I can find out how the car performs,

Below are just a few pics, must get a bigger lens!
All the best Clive

Some very nice pics and vids going on there :D

As for mine, well I only took a few pics of Chris\'s car being loaded up onto the trailer. Glad to be of help in some small way with the rear wing. I hope it can be sorted soon as its too good a car to not be on the road and track...

The last pic is to remind Shaun about those tyres on the rear :Giggle

My attempts to upload videos to YouTube have so far failed - it doesn\'t like the large file for some reason. Trying again tonight...
