Re: Not a Ford

Be careful with Dunlop. What they list on their website and what they make is 2 different things. I have found that out to my peril

Re: Not a Ford

Yep they make a tyre approx 1" wider for the 10" mini wheel I got the last six ones they had then they told me if I wanted anymore they were a special order so I ordered £2500 worth, after a year I was still waiting so I bought a Honda instead.

Didnt get a chance to see you after the race yesterday, hope the damage isnt too bad

Re: Not a Ford

The car is going into the bodyshop tomorrow for a new front end, bonnet and wheel arches and should be back by next weekend. I also need a new radiator so hopefully Brise can make one quickly. The main problem is the front subframe is bent and I won't have time to have a new one prepped and fitted for Lydden on the 6th. After Lydden the engine comes out for a refresh so the subframe can be changed then. The joys of racing!

Re: Not a Ford

I sorta heard from your wife what happened.. you spun, got dirt on the tyres and spun again was it ?
So you'll be at an dis-advantage at Lydden with the bent subframe, what with the car only wanting to turn left, or is it not that bad ?

Re: Not a Ford

I was overtaking on the outside on Cooper Straight and got a nudge. Anyway well done to Andy here he had a good day.

Re: Not a Ford

Shame about the nudge, hope it was an un-intentional race incident with handshakes afterwards, and hope you get it all sorted for Lydden, that track likes Minis .. and we wont have the class C cars getting in the way of the D's and E's
