Mark A Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Over 400 miles in the Exige tomorrow, almost all of it on motorways Although spending all day Wednesday on the GP circuit at Spa-Francorchamps will make up for it Sorry just looking forward to a full day on my 2nd favourite circuit!

Mark H Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Not fun, did 6 hours of driving in mine today and the cabin was hot even with the con-air on. Shame mine didnt have a track day at the end of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott_Mac Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 To be fair if it didn't, i'd be concerned Must be a horrible experience for you though... my commiserations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark A Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 I was wrong, the journey back was the horrible bit, although that was something to do with only going to bed at approx 3am and getting up again at 6:30am to drive back as needed to be in work this afternoon (didn't make it!!). Trackday was great, I was getting a bit bored overtaking GT3's, although I did notice later in the day the moved over straight away . There was a very nice black GT3 there in the morning which wasn't so nice later after it went visiting the tyre wall at the top of Eau Rouge. Hopefully everyone survived the 2nd day okay!

Fiona Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I read Ian W's report on SELOC. Sounded ace. Did you make it back in one piece Mark? Fiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark A Posted May 28, 2004 Author Share Posted May 28, 2004 Best trackday ever! Worth doing in September (not the cheapest unfortunatly ). Made it back in one piece, but just about to head into the garage to try and find the oil leak which (along with being very tired (only 3 hours sleep the night before)) meant quite a few stops on the way home. Also had a chat with the Belgian police as well, about my lack of front number plate, showed them the pre broken one ;)and they went away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladders Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Sounds like a good time to me! Lucky with the Belgium police though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I think I may do my 1stLotus day first. Otherwise, I may end up like that Porsche. Completely off topic Mark, I see you shortened your gear stick in your Sport 160. Did you just take a hacksaw to it? Did it feel much tighter?
