No, we're all in a large tent cuddled up together

The camping area at mitp is so small that you cant say where abouts you will be, just keep an eye out for some of the well known cars. (and a group of people sat around playing cards will have matty involved somewhere)

Great to meet you guys again Sorry my self and Gary had to rush off early but We had a 3 hour Train ride in store, in no small part due to Enterprise Car rental being a bunch of cunts and asking for a £500 pound deposit that they would not return for 3-6 weeks :(

New as in NEW CV joints are shit. I bought a couple of joints last year, they were not the cheapest and were a well known brand. The driveshaft splines are a loose fit!!!!!!! Its not wear on the shafts either as the old genuine CVs I have are a nice snug fit.

Lets face it, we are fucked whichever new part we buy these days.

I found the headwind quite strong, did anyone run there car at MITP and avonpark with the same setup? I'd be interested to compare the times to see how much the headwind knocks off.

Everytime I've been too pod this year there has been a headwind! I also managed my pb at Avon with better traps. It will be interesting to see if i get similar times at pod!

5ft is a fair incline.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
