Hi Simon, I don't have the wing fitted yet as I have got a few more little bits to do first...

Congratulations on the purchase by the way. I have seen some pics of the car and it looks like a very clean straight car. What year is ?

Thanks very much...

Sounds like a very nice car Simon, I will be interested in hearing more about it when you get it. I hope you get some good weather over the weekend to test her out.

I think Achim the ringmini guy lives there doesnt he?

Have you seen any of the vids onboard the ringmini? Or the Gixxerkart one with him for that matter?!

I notice you use DS2500 - the guy who recomended them to me nearly 2 years back was a certain e30 m3 driver - star of the infamous 'brake late' video - so he should know a thing or two, or maybe I shouldn't trust his opinion having seen that vid :)

If you've not seen the vids then onboard ringmini and brakelate are on the legendary Jørumd Seims (R.I.P.) site
http://www.joerundseim.com/

The gixxerkert vid was originally on nurburgring.de, but can be found here:
http://gprime.net/video.php/gixxerkart

Great fun!
Cheers,
Robin
