Re: What were you doing at the weekend?
Car cleaning and prep on Sat, Sunday was the Cumbria Classic and Motorsport show at Dalemain, nice and local. Got sunburnt!! Hardly had time for a look round as time was spent catching up with people I'd not seen in a while, and meeting new acquaintances like Brian the man that made the outspan minis! and yes I had club members who had to google it to see what it looked like! made me feel old..
Wanna see what I'm playing with? Youtube Channel

Will you put up that map showing exactly where you are on the photo, (above) in relation to the size of England/Europe. I don't think that many poms really appreciate the size of South Australia....., let alone Australia as a whole!
I'll get a separate thread going for that when I can get some photos up

I took my 34 year old BMW out for a run.

I did that a while ago as the rubbers are no longer available - looks like a great job

Re: What were you doing at the weekend?
I was racing at Silverstone Festival. Sharing the grid with Can Am cars, Lola T70s, other prototypes and even a 935! Finished last unfortunately. I was dawdling along a bit at the end and got overtaken by a Lola that I’d overtaken on the 3rd lap which was a bit silly! But did have a great time. One of those things you have to do if only once.

Re: What were you doing at the weekend?
Had marmite on toast and took a Gr Yaris out to try to get it to lose traction in boring mode at a large roundabout, I succeeded!
Actually I didn’t even come close.
Sorry, I’m weak
