I took the 4/4 for a shake down run today, just a 20 mile run into Derbyshire to get everything up to temperature and make sure she is good for next weekends trip to Oulton Park for the Gold Cup event. Is anyone else going?
The removal of the air filter socks has greatly improved the running, but I do need to try and find some form of gauze to prevent insects, stones and small children getting sucked into the throttle bodies.
As usual I was driving with a tear in my eye, but my dad’s flying jacket and scarf are on the passenger seat beside me as a reminder to ‘take it steady!’
For those of you who know the car, there is no hood as the car has a low line screen fitted, so I got a few drops of rain in my hair, but I got home before the heavens opened properly. A quick wipe down with some finishing spray and she is all ready for next weekend!
