Move on a few weeks and another Cadwell opportunity arises - shall I go for it? Will there be fog? Oh! lets give it a shot....................

Hotel booked - Trackday Booked - new diff in M3 - let's prepare the M3 for the day.

Putting in the CL race brake pads and I notice that the inner edge of both front tyres is way on the illegal side - two new tyres! OK that is fine - the old tyres had served their purpose and been cost effective. Packed the car up and all ready for the trip up to Cadwell.

Come out on the Saturday morning and one of the rears is looking low - slow leak? also have a look at both rears! Yikes they are illegal as well so another two new tyres needed. So whip off the two rear wheels and take them to the Tyre Barn to have the new tyres fitted.

However, I had fitted one of the Wet tyred wheels temporarily and noticed a lot of movement on the wheel - wheel bearing! So organised to go to a garage after I had sorted the tyres. 

Very helpful garage - my son recommended them - Motech in Ampere Rd - Phew wheel bearing had come loose with the vibration of the old broken diff. A quick tighten and all OK. Off to Lincoln.

started the day on wets - great fun

lunchtime the sun came out and blue skies so went back to the road tyres - didn't want to "burn" out the Wets

 Replica T16 - looked fabulous and went even better

Great day - even the wet weather and changeable conditions couldn't put a damper on the day.

There were a couple of people not following the overtaking rules - one young guy in a Turbo Jap thing - almost stopping on all the corners - but then blast down the straights! Couldn't use his mirrors to see he had a queue behind him all the time!

Eventually got by him on the pit straight - only just - and then joined the queue behind him again. shows how slow he was in the corners - at this point I pulled off and spoke to the organisers.
