the track Sprint's got a new MoT.

Booked in on the rollers all day Wednesday at Spamspeed. So if you're around the Stonehouse area, pop in & say hello.

Well done that man. I hope I'm in similar spirits on Tuesday....
Going to spend Saturday double-checking everything; then spend Sunday at Stoneleigh (probably fretting over if there's anything I've missed)..... probably bump into you at some point Martin.

I went out earlier to put the Sprint in the garage for the night (special treat) & it wouldn't start. Unusual as it usually starts very easily. So I pushed it into the garage & put the battery on charge as it was getting rather slow by now. Went out an hour later & still it wouldn't start. Then I noticed the LED wasn't on on the Megajolt unit, got me thinking, fuse! It then dawned on me that the fuel pump wasn't ticking either DOH! Took the fuse out, a quick wipe & put it back in and guess what?....It started. Double DOH! It must be my age.

Once it had warmed up a bit it just sat there at 1000rpm, the rev counter needle was static & the engine just purred away. Not bad for a Sprint with 45s & a wild cam.

So why am I taking it to the Rolling Road tomorrow!

Suffice to say - I'm not !.. and, don't ask
Should be a lot happier after the re-test, tomorrow....

Probably because a decent tickover ain't going to help much at Silverstone

So what did it fail on?

The clue's in the phrase "don't ask "

I am waiting with keen eyes to read that Mart is making 185 bhp and I'm gonna see more of his bootlid........again

Beginning to think you need therapy, Jon... you're obsessed with rear ends and girls in tight leggings !

... Erm.... No ! Beginning to think it's a conspiracy. Apparently no-one else got an MoT, today, either, as the entire VOSA system has been 'down'.
What d'you reckon - Third time lucky ?

I might manage to bring my bootlid!

Thank goodness its not Mart in tight leggings eh..............that would make him shift if I was behind I reckon he would do Combe in 1min 25sec

Apparently; patience is a virtue, and all good things come to those who wait, and all that jazz.....

... Tara the Toledo has an MoT Now all she needs is tax (road fund; whatever you want to call it), and Silverstone, here we come.

Any news Mart? Or will the figures be disclosed after the Silverstone trackday

Hope you guys have fun, I'm already awaiting the on-board videos
