Even worse for me Darren, lovely sunny day up here in Yorkshire, 911 sat in the garage itching to be out but I had to accompany daughters to local theme park all day :(

It's set to rain next week as well :(

To be fair, theme park with daughters, wedding anniversaries and Prosecco aren't bad seconds!.....

Not sure this really counts, but took my Porsche engined Lola T 492 up Shelsley Walsh hill climb good and hard to a personal best time.

100 mph down a 12 foot wide strip of tarmac is magic. :drunken:

Will be looking at the front geo on my 73T this week, something is not looking right.. :(

Excellent. It's been a few years but finally sounds like the Lola is coming together.

Think I have found the source of the oil leak. Top pipe from console to front cooler was loose at connection with hard pipe, also flexi fitting may have been weeping too, so tightened these up. PS the funnel is only propped up there.

Whilst I had things in the air I thought I should replace the MFI pump drive pulley


ImageImage

It lost the outer flange at 2012 CLM (on way to Super U)! Tim (Impmad) is this what you need?

Refilled with oil and seems to be leak free - but let's wait until it has had a hot run. Was a bit concerned as when I first stared the engine there was no oil pressiure :shock:
Just a sticky sender/gauge phew!

Had a pre Le mans run out to Lavenham in suffolk in the 930 to Charity Cricket match for Help For Heroes.
Cricket match with view of Lavenham church in background very British, like being on the top of abicuit tin fantastic and car went great.
If anyone fancies a week in Lavenham I do have a cottage there and will give generous discounts to other DDKer's.
Sorry for the blatant advertising.

Lovely spot. I crashed my mountain bike many many times just next to that windmill! :)

Spent 2 hours in a mix of mass panic/mad fury/heart stopping depression while I looked for my lost car keys.

Found them, took the car out.

Must remember to get a spare set made....can't bear to think of what I'd do if i actually lost this set...aaaaahhhhh!
