The Moog Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Results 2cv did alright. Ian left before the last 6 runs hence max times. Dw lopped about 4 seconds off his times, but certainly drew the crowd. My fastest was 37.6 down from the morning runs at 45 seconds. I reckon I could get another 2 seconds from trusting the car more and being a bit more controlled. Once again can't explain how much fun this is. Full on adrenalin rush every single time. Next one is in July but I think Lymm services has one soon. Apparently that is ace as has 5 different courses to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a little apprehensive in mx5 round the course but by the end was using throttle to steer which is brilliant. Needs a smaller steering wheel really as quite difficult to get round some of the tight bits. gm, puddlethumper and dome 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You think you were having steering wheel issues?! I'm exhausted. Going from lock to lock was painful. Good run home though - three hours to cover 146 miles, and the idle came back. Does feel like something is very wrong on the suspension though, so glad I stopped.

The Moog Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Dw tonight Btw if any of the 2cv videos or pics came out ok they were asking if they could have copies for their website.

The Moog Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 So plan is next auto test is the 19th May at Nelson College. MX5 will be making an appearance, hopefully with NJGleeds newly manualised Mx5 too. All are welcome to come. I should have a spare drive in the car if anyone wants to come and have a go, but doesnt feel they want to use their car.

The Moog Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 This is in Nelson near Burnley. Starlet was a cheeky little ace thing to drive round autotests. If people don't want to drive there are passenger drives available all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
