[Chris SCVX]

I might pop long with my new(well to me) SC VX tomorrow just got a few things to do in the morning and see you guys as well as catching up with some of the RX8 guys that'll be there as. I'll throw my helmet in and might try and scrounge passenger ride off some one if that's ok. I've done Snett a couple of times in the RX8 and it's nice track. Also might see if I can throw the sound measuring guy a couple of quid and see just how loud my SC VX is at moment as I think it might not be very track friendly as it stands😞.

7.30pm just got in. A good day salvaged from what was looking like a disaster. Running on reduced power and capped revs but at least she was circulating. Thanks to everyone who helped out with the roof cable and the manifold/exhaust problems. Feeling the .org love!

70 miles to unlikely to get home vibration is terrible

At least you might find out what's causing it (or the RAC will).

Just when I thought I didn't hate snetterton quite as much, the curse struck, 3/4 of a mile from home. Engine fine and can select all the gears but sounds like a drive shaft isn't connecting with the diff. You can hear the teeth trying to engage but just won't. fcuking Snetterton, never again, never, ever, again and I really mean it this time really! Anyway, before that it was a top day, it was great to catch up with friends, and Martin, and to meet some new people. I especially have to thank Martin and Lee for letting me out in their cars, the first supercharged VX's I've ever driven and both were an eye opener for very different reasons. Martin's is such a nice and exploitable car to drive and Lee's is an absolute animal Hope everyone else gets home ok and see you all soon

Epic day. Thanks all!

Was a good day & great to see everyone old & new alike, even managed to get a bit of sunburn on the face!😊 Picked up a lot more pace after a session with MB at the helm. Had 1 @rse clinching moment when a certain heavily modified monstrosity failed to use left hand mirror when exiting the pit lane 😠😠

At least your vibration is constant so you'll be able to diagnose and fix it (when you get him that is). Mine was terrible on track and yet it drove perfectly all the way home. Stupid car!

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

Just got home under its own steam Don't no how but she did ( margo ) Thanks for all your help today I also think my issue is drive shaft I have a lot of un- finished business at snetterton so I will be coming back soon to rather kill the vx or conquer the track And overall I still enjoyed the day And feeling the love again for margo (vx) just hope she starts to love me again Chill
