I've had to duck out too unfortunately, family illness has caused us to delay holidays so I cannot make it. Gutted is not the word

but such is life.

Good luck everyone and please report back here

So, lets all make sure we say hello to each other

Must admit to being slightly nervous. I'm picking the TT up from JBS in Chesterfield tomorrow afternoon, and driving straight down to my mate in Colchester, to be fairly close for Sunday morning. I know that the last few bits are on the car - R32 TB, RMR intake manifold, single mass flywheel, new clutch, Quiafe LSD.... but I think all the mapping is going to be done tomorrow - lets just hope they don't hit any last minute issues! I'll have 180 miles from Chesterfield to Colchester to get used to the thing!

I'm running against:

1) 460 bhp Fiat Coupé 20v Turbo
2) 380 bhp TVR Cerbera 4.5 RR
3) 400 bhp TVR Twin Turbo Griffith

It's going to be a real battle of traction vs power to weight ratio - I'm going to be a lot heavier than all my oppos, but should have a reasonable power and traction advantage - suspect it'll be in front, in front, level.... bugger in most cases

Guys, not going to be there. I'm in limp mode, and don't have vag-com with me. Have reset the ECU, but still have the problem, suspect lambda probe failure. Bugger. Have a great day, do well, and please don't tell me you enjoyed it

Gutted for you Clive.

There is always next year.

Jules.

Just got home - N249 failure apparently....

However, did you all have a good day?!
