Cheers Shaun. Been looking forward to it. It\'s been a while since I was last in your car. 2 years ago I think.

How much are passenger rides/wrist bands at Oulton?

Depends on who is running the day, at most it will be Â£10.

Matt\'s car isn\'t there this time. He\'s swapping it back to a large port 3 rotor and is still in the build ! There is an update thread on fduk !

Nice to see you all today. Was good to catch up even if I didn\'t get out on track this time. Hope you all finished the day off well and got back home safely.

Shame the weather went south, only got a short time at the end of the day when it was dry again. I didn\'t get out in the afternoon because of the rain.

I\'ll let Chris tell you what happened with his car.......

Shaun

Well where do I start….

We suspect I blew up yet another gearbox and maybe other stuff.

This happened changing up from third to fourth on the start/finish straight. A bit alarming as the centre console lifted and was showered in black shards, whilst there was loud grinding and ganashing coming from under the car which felt like the propshaft was winding around inside the centre tunnel.

A bit disappointing as the gearbox had been fully rebuilt 3 years ago which equates to about 3,000 miles.

Anyway, thankfully Pip at WGT was able to send a trailer to collect me from Oulton Park and the car now resides with Pip to investigate and suggest a solution.

I think I should now say a huge thank you to all the people who mucked in to help me in my time of need.

Jim and Shaun for rushing around to find a solution to get my FD with oversize rear wheels and tyres on to a trailer which was designed to accept a standard width RX.

Shaun ended up kindly donating his rear wheels and tyres which meant the FD literally just fitted on the trailer, (thankfully we made it back to Oulton Park before security locked the gates with Shaun’s car inside on a trolley jack).

Jim kindly loaded all my stuff in his RX and drove me to the hotel to collect my other stuff and then drove me home.

Ian and Malcolm thank you for your support and assistance and a special thank you to Ian for saving my rear carbon wing from destruction from the trailers tyres rack.

I’m sure Ian will post up some pictures which capture the event.

Once again thank you to you all for helping me. As someone summed it up, “we would not leave a member when they need help.”

Chris

Commiserations to Chris as he knows after I had spoken to him on the phone,

I had left by this time but would like to say "well done guys" for helping Chris in his hour of need, you are what makes MRC a great car club
