Had an ace day at the Practical Performance Car Show and the track session was a good bit of fun. Great to put a few faces to names from the 106 Rallye Register and see some of the cars in the metal. We had the largest owners’ club stand as far as I could make out. Mike kindly lent me his camcorder and mount so I will try and get the video up once I find a link cable
Coming off the M1 on the way there the car started making strange car noises. These turned out to all be down to the alternator belt. By the time I made it home the whole tensioner assembly had fallen off, but at least (and somehow) the belt had stayed on the pulleys despite being immensely slack. I’ll need to find a replacement part and make up a new lower assembly again now.
The new Helmet was very comfy and I’m glad I fitted the roll cage padding as my head would have been banging into the roll cage without it… Parts supplied by YB Racing.
