Whoops

What happened?

Happily just a washer that broke, sadly it held the accelerator pedal onto the throttle cable!

Easily fixed and out to the last session.

Every time I've seem this 'instructor' out on track he has caused some sort of issue, why the track keeps him I'll never know, he did the safety briefing on Saturday!

How could he have caused that?
He was in the passenger seat, driver error.

Was there another person in the car who bailed when he hit the guard fence?

Tony.

I had that once on a Merc 190 in the engine bay driving down a country lane in the middle of nowhere.
Cut a bit of orange hay bale twine off a fence, tied it back on, worked so well I forgot about it, even sold the car with it still like that.

Latest purchase, Hard Top!

I love the look of a Z3 with a tin lid.

We already have one 'hard top' on here...really don't need another

Looking good. Are those 19" wheels?

Looks good Andy but you need to spray the car to match it.

Fuelled and ready for the next track day! Currently concentrating in the drivers' briefing!

You're right, I don't have a very smooth or sympathetic driving style, but it is great fun!

Great footage and looks like the effort in preparing the car has paid dividends

Can I ask on behalf of the OCD-ers out there that you set the time and date on the Nextbase ? You'll thank us in the end.

Keep the updates and vids coming

You were excellent on the brakes, and the Z3 was cornering very very well; the only car you didn't get had more power it seems. Looks like fun!!

Thanks mate, I will be making a few upgrades and getting back on track soon; tyres, brakes, body brace and manifold!

These pads have probably served their purpose!
