I think I'm going to have to hitch a lift to the Wheel :cry: went to take the injectors out of the lump this evening after work to get the cleaned tomorrow and refitted on Saturday and I couldn't get the buggers out before the light was so bad I couldnt see what I was doing! Balls.
I'll get them out tomorrow and hopefully have them back Monday in time for the track action on Thursday!!

Anyone going up with room for one more??

Thanks Pete. A bit of sunshine would've been nice but it was good to put some faces to people I've dealt with on the zone. There were a few cameras about so hopefully we'll see some snaps soon.

What can I say, I just couldn't bring myself to put newly painted wings onto rust. Mine is MOT'd and Tax'd, perfectly roadworthy, just not looking it's best. It's going to rain for the rest of April anyway....
