Ditto, i use their black bottled dry n shine as a drying aid on the wheels. Never known a product wrestle water quite like this stuff. 

Any idea what a decent alternative is?

Yeah better safe than sorry. Theres a huge fine for crashing apparently. 

It's not looked upon as a fine as far as I'm aware - you simply pay for all the damage you've caused to the track and infrastructure, ambulance/helicopter if really serious, tow charges, plus closure time if it's significant. Plus of course the damage to your own car.

It can run into thousands of Euros.

You can upload directly to youtube and trim it from pit stop area to the long straight on the way back about 8-9 minutes if you were cruising lol

 

You can Upload as Unlisted and share the 🔗. Only people that click on the link can watch it. 

Ok might try that.

BTG wasn't impressive, approximately 10:15 but have only driven two or three laps each year on the one annual visit for the past 10 years.

I did my best without overdoing it and obviously remained cautious - I'm sure a more experienced 'ring driver would have done better in my car.

Roll on June 2024!

With the cover fitted, is it possible to view the rear of the expansion tank to check the level?

Mate wow, she looks great. Any dashcam footage? 

Yes, but it's 12 minutes long!

I'm going to buy and download a few of the pro pics, so I'll post here when I've done that.

Parked up in Sainsbury's car park recently, with the very tasty plate 370 **.

Missed this last year unfortunately, so up for this one.

A couple of photos from this morning's breakfast meet at The Moat pub, Wrotham, Kent.

Don't headlamp washers generally operate only after a few pulls on the screen washer? Certainly for the Z and our Ateca, I only notice them operating after every few occasions that the screen washer is used.

Dubious about that report, weather report I watched this morning said 27 degrees so we'll have to wait and see.. 

 

I will only be there if its dry though.. 

The forecast has changed, looks like it'll be dry and sunny (or at least dry) all weekend.

Would you believe it? No rain for what seems like weeks, then this weekend all hell lets loose with thunder storms!

At least I didn't commit to attending Bromley again this year....

Good to see a Mk2 without a large wing 😄. 

I'd prefer mine had one! 😆

09:45, we'll be there!

GT stripes added today by Xtreme Signs in Copthorne, West Sussex. They always do a cracking job.

Next one, Sunday 11th June.

I’ve used WW in Manor Royal 3 times in the past and they do great job . If you haven’t used them before then you are in good hands. So frustrating when you curb wheels. I remember  fitting a brand new set of Rota GTRs on my 350Z and the first day a tractor carved me up in my road , forcing me over and I curbed my new rim on a cobbled curb. Wheel was like a piece of cheese. Straight off to WW for repair.😡

Sod's law isn't it?!

Yeah, I've used them quite a few times over the years Martin. Quite handy that they're local. The Z's off to Germany later this month so I'll get them done when I come back and I haven't got so much going on.

Don't for get if you're available - Forest Row meet Sunday week, 11th June.

What job are you planning to do Keith ?. 

Just need to get the two front RAYS off to deliver for refurb at Wheel Works in Crawley, so they'll be away for a few days. The rears are fine but the fronts have some very minor scuffing to the rims. Annoyingly, the worst of the two happened just a few weeks ago - would you believe that I decided not to park in a crowded Waitrose car park in case of some numpty opening their doors into mine, so I elected to park in a wide side street opposite, which I frequently do. However, in potentially saving my doors, I scuffed the rim on the kerb when parking!!  FFS!! 🤬

Thanks Alex - the jack points being where the two small triangular cut outs are in the rail at the four points?

Rickdon  - Rick from Doncaster. 

Didn't he sell his Z and leave the forum, hence not having any more fabricated?

Not seen his name here for over a year now.

**** Scrub this ^^^^^ -  I'm talking cack. Just looked up RDON and he was last seen here last month!
