Loud vibration from somewhere, possibly exhaust hitting the cross member and it's very close to the power steering pipes.

You'll be suprised at wheel alignment, friend helped with fitting my coilovers, month down the line and I check the tracking and it's spot on all I need to do tomorrow is stare at the car and ponder on removing the rear seats, try and wash it, check the tyre pressures and put 1 bit of psi in extra in case there's any loss on the way up[emoji14]

It's safe to say the weather forecast is useless, overcast my backside, what's all this rain then? Huh?? Looks like I'll be turning up in a filthy car[emoji14]

Could've sworn I told you that lol. Wake up on the day turn up and see what Brands throws at us is the norm.

[Hyphons]

What a brilliant day, I've said it already but I'll say it again, thanks for organising this Richard, had a brilliant time and only had 1 casualty throughout the day!

How do you shear a wheel bolt?

[Skoda_Saint]

With great difficulty I would imagine

[Skoda_Saint]

Oh and get the vids up peeps want to see all.

[BossFox]

Yes, thanks for coming all.  It was a good day that MSV put on.

The TDT guys seemed very sensible and we got a well priced full day at Brands Hatch with relatively small numbers of car issues.

The company makes the day as much as the track time and this was a good one.

For the time of year the weather was good too.

 

Focus and Fiesta ST went well.

 

Plus I now know how to start a Xenos if you stall it.

I think they were a bit worried after the red flag came out and I didn't come back... baring in mind they let me out in the demo car with no instructor on my own.

With the words "please bring it back in one piece"

LOL Richard, well you didn't prang it.

[andsoutham]

Thanks for organising Richard!

Had a great day and so glad it stayed mostly dry... Sadly all of my videos are missing audio so is a bit pointless :(

Now to replace my melted tyres :P

[Skoda_Saint]

More importantly when's the next one lol, so I can make it to this one this time

[BJB540]

Thanks as aways Richard.

 

Fantastic day and I didn't end up in Paddock Hill gravel this time, which is a massive bonus.

It honestly wasn't my fault thankfully sensible me had 4 spare bolts as I have spacers on the rear, take the spacers off and job done

Yes after today think I'll be carrying some spare bolts just in case.

[fabianski47vrs]

Was an amazing day & experience.

Thanks all for being such a great bunch & Thanks Richard for setting this up. Sorry didn't get to meet and thank you in person.

Btw I took some sneaky pics of all the cars in the the garages while everyone was in the breifing as I missed the first one.

Will upload them soon as i can.

A great day and couldn't fault the pace of the mongrel.  Putting in some nice laps and getting past lots of machinery which looked a lot faster.

 

Fairly fitting the only red flag / "big" off in our bunch was from the organiser of the whole thing - well done Richard!

 

I did about 125 miles on the track so pleased to do have done what I think is about 105 laps once factoring in a little pit lane / etc.

[group1rs]

Ria's first open pit lane track day. She and her blue Fabia went excellently. I wish the same could be said for my instruction !

She did an amazing job. Good instructions too.

I'm gutted I missed out on this seeing as it's only 30 mins from me
