Gave my white PI a good flogging around Wanneroo but failed to beat my personnal best :( - My car showed its indignance at my inability to drive it quick enough by locking it's brakes and me ending up hitting a sand trap at about 100mph - oops - very stuck with brakes smoking heavily - got dragged out by a 4WD Toyota fire truck - oil light flickering at idle and running on five - :?

Fixed up the injector - rubber sliver in number 5 and hosed out all the sand from everywhere - seemed to be OK - not sure about that oil light - reshelled 500miles ago :roll: - might be that I had just done 6 flat out laps and had effectively hit the kill switch at 100mph - must have all been a bit hot!!!!!

Made it home OK - contemplating binning my Nissan Skyline servo (need the displacement in the master cylinder for the Nissan GTR caliper all round) and fitting my non servo'ed twin master cylinder set up - Nissan Servo is twin diaphragm 6:1 ratio assistance - horrible modern thing designed for ABS and light brakes - too sensitive for last of the late brakers :twisted:

You fibber, i seem to remember a suirty bottle of pink fluid and a cloth being used on the roof whilst on my driveway beforehand!!!

We did have a good day though, quite a variety of cars on display, bit of an ad-lib on the PA by myself when the cars were in the ring (where is Dave Marshall when you need him?) and a fly pass and circle by a Douglas Dakota. It looked like it was about to fall from the sky it was travelling so slow. Mind you it was Sunday afternoon.

Managed to catch the sun too, so my nose and forehead are a bit pink today.

Colin.
