Open Event: MissBanzai London Charity Tunnel Run - Sat 13th March 2010

Hey mate.

Yeah the MOT was all good thanks, I think the guy was so mesmerised by all the new bits on the car he didn’t care about anything else

Not sure what was going on last night, as I left arena Essex and hit the A13 my speedo and taco were both erratically going up and down.

I pulled off the A13 and keyed off and keyed on again and it all seemed fine, but I didn’t want to take the risk of power failure or anything else while amoung a pack of cars and without breakdown cover at the moment.

As I was about 5 mins away from base I decided I would play safe and head home

The brakes are feeling pretty powerful even under light breaking and without them being bedded in yet

There seems to be a lot of people having trouble with the taco's recently. Sounds like a good excuse for the nismo unit if you ask me

Have you changed the speedo converter or anything recently? My speedo does 0-180 and back to 0 again when I unbuckle my seatbelt with the ignition on because of the converter I'm using!

Did u make this mate?

I got there at 21:30 and left about 23:00.

Didn't make it past the A13 due to issue with the car that made me decided to head home before it even began for me :-(

Yeah I did mate, I saw the back of your car as I was leaving the arena.... you were about 5 cars ahead of me. If I had spotted your car before I would have come over and said hello

No way, I walked round about 4 times looking for your car.

Good news is the car seems fine now so god knows what was up with it.

Looking foward to the next run now, hopefully a bit warmer too.

I was out and about around lakeside when you all headed off (hell of a sight and noise) and I managed to miss both of you! I have seen your cars in a couple of pic on sxoc. Knew I should gone on this still there is always next time.

[Darren_S15]

Cheers guys, Id be gutted if something else broke after finally getting back on the road after 5 months.

Yay proof I was there, all be it a bad pic

It was almost total darkness because we were over the back away from the flood lights.

Still this did not seem to stop one person from opening their bonnet for us to see, well, darkness...

 

[Lou-Lou]

Was a shame about the lighting..we were told there would be enough light.. but it was pretty dark other than by the cafe! Will be sorted for next time :nod:

 

[C1TPT]

Yeah the lighting was much better last year!

 

[Darren_S15]
