Ah, didn't realise. thumbsdown

Strange how mine after half an hour was still fine, after my initial session where it all went pete after 10 mins when the pedal went solid into school :blink: Still, I'm on the standard treacle fluid still.

We'll have to try bleeding it ourselves....

I've got to echo what most of you have already said - am absolutely brilliant day and thanks to evceryone that made it happen especially JT and Andy. My fave bits(in no particular order): Driving Foxy's car. He's a brave man. His big front tyres work, now he just needs the back to grip a bit more...Cheers mate Paxing when Foxy drove mine. The bastard was just about as quick as me in it after about 4 laps! Very smooth. Following JT - briefly - and watching his motor squirm and lock brakes and hearing it pop and whistle and rocket off down the straights. Gnarly. Riding with Partridge. It's like riding with Colin Mcrae, sideways everywhere. Top car control though and top fun. I'm still laughing about the chewing gum incident. I think you were in with a shot of catching Gary if you could have been arsed to change down to 2nd for the hairpin! Taking Partridge out in mine and having a BIG tail-out moment through School. His hand slapped the door as he frantically tried to grab something and then admitted "the passenger just lost his bottle there.." For a split second though I managed to shut him up! Following ShinyAndy and thereby sussing out the lines for free! All the interest people showed in the car Chatting with so many friendly people And tons more

thumbsup great time thumbsup fantastic cct thumbsup great, great blast from beach to Anglesey - really proved small groups travel a lot quicker - esp when you follow simple rules (a) keep the person behind you in the mirror (B) stay out after over-taking so the guy(s) behind know it's clear.... a great possee (Bob you set a good pace in the hardest place (ie. at the front)... thumbsup big shout for all those that put yet another great VX day together....
