What is it with you and dishy wheels lol
Id need at least 1500 euro for the wheels I want. If I could afford that I'd spend the money on a single turbo.

Update time!


Portlaoise. Portlaoise Portlaoise Portlaoise.......




Ok so most of you won't know but I used to be heavily involved in Motorsport. I competed in Karting for nine seasons




And in single seaters for a further three




So in 2003 after the Leinster Trophy I gave up. A combination of no money and a hatred of the sport (for political reasons) meant I happily walked away. So Portlaoise nearly two weeks ago was my first time to do anything Motorsport related since.

So I checked the car over the week leading up to it, cleaned it too and I was ready to go!



Sitting waiting to go for my first run on Saturday I was a bit uncertain. I had never really clutch kicked the car, or any car, never used the handbrake for other than its intended purpose and generally never done any hooning about or drifting of any sort other than skidding about on the snow a while back.

I also made a conscious decision before I went out which might explain some of my driving (not excuses! ). No wild entries into the first corner; if it was to go wrong id have been in trouble and being my first time I didnt need to wreck the car. So my lap started after that. Then it finished before the last corner. After seeing Bert lose a wheel the last day on the gullies I wasnt risking it. The few times I could slot in the small gap between the gullies on Saturday evening I went for it but otherwise my lap finished at the entry to the hairpin. After all I did intend to drive home in it on Sunday evening lol

But it was awesome!! I spent the first half of Saturday messing about generally doing more understeering then anything else I got a 90 minute break, went and did some watching and thinking and went back out and went much better. By 5.30 Saturday (when everyone else was in the pub!) I was linking the track between the two points above which was deadly, so I was well pleased with that. The handbrake was useless but the clutch held up perfect to a decent raping, and the lack of power steering was only an issue at the slow turn at the end of the pit lane then.





So I packed up, re-fitted the Rotas and off to the hotel!






Saturday night....hmmmmmm
Great night from what I heard


So Sunday was a right off! I was a bit of a wreck, so I did my few laps (very badly!) and finished up. But I was chuffed with Saturday evenings last runs so I didnt mind.






Thanks Bart & Co. for a totally epic weekend. It was great to meet so many people from here, and thanks for the kind words of support too. I cant wait for the next outing! I need to get a hydro sorted first though but in the mean time...
