Thanking all for the advice on the grease gun, and again special thank you to Robbie and Lawrie for the on-travel help and assistance.
This could also be posted in the "Caramulo Hillclimbing" thread but
not entirely off topic here. I'm going to enter the hill climb next weekend with the Plus 4. The organizers kept hesitating until the last minute about what status grant the M3W and I had until friday to reach a decision so I went with the safe one and had the Plus 4 fitted with the TOYOs again, in race-ready status.
However, the M3W will be at Caramulo with "invited" status (that means off-competition)and I will have a chance to do a few climbs with it in exhibition mode. It'll be a busy weekend going up with two cars LOL
I have been assured I will be given a full entry with the M3W in next May's event and maybe it's better this way. I will have the chance to learn the car and gain the needed confidence to really "attack" twisty uphill roads with it. Maybe with Blockley tyres and after I sort/adjust the suspension.
