Well, just back in from a grand day and last evening out - with the relatively low numbers, I managed to get us into the Officers Mess, so had a pleasant evening chatting into the wee hours was aided by a few beers. The A behaved itself, and her running temperatures stayed lower for longer, so the fixes have worked, although by the middle of the day after a lot of "spirited running", she was running out of cooling capacity on the main straight. Lovely 3+ mile track, with plenty of entertaining twisty bits. So syuch worries for Gary or Bill who kindly let me have a drive of their frogeye and midget respectively. With their various perfoprmance tweaks, the performance is not dissimilar to the A's in terms of top speed and cornering speeds, but they just do it such different ways - theirs being much like high-powered go-karts and the dear old A much more limousine-like. A big thank you to them for letting me make the comparison. Bob T also had a great day out, with his fuel injected midget, although the slightly whining diff at the start of the day turned into a lunched diff a short while before close of play. Bad luck, but at least it happened at the end of the day rather than at the beginning! The plan was a tow out of the Station to get onto normal roads and a call to the AA - hope you got back safe and sound eventually.
Next one will be around April next year, and I'll post the dates as soon as I get them
