    Let this be a lesson to all those saying now that they cannot make it to next years ND as they have a bulb to replace.

    It's all in the mind!

    15 minutes! Love that Proper mob-handed, PMT style Fair play to the guy lifting the 'box into place - Not the lightest of parts, even more so when you're on ya back.

    That exhaust note is to die for

    Reminds me of the time I decided to convert the blue clio 16v to manual steering the night/morning before a sprint.
    Finished corner weighting and tracking it up at 3am then home, pack the car and be at debden sprint at 7.30.am

    That is impressive, late nights and last minuit fixing go hand in hand with motorsport, lost count of how many times I have worked all night on my car the night before an event.

    Once before a pod day I was putting my cylinder head back on at 2am didn't finish till 4am home for 6 then set straight off to pod, drove it all the way there did 20 plus runs got pissed and slept in a tent then drove it all the way back, issue free also

    now I have kids I can't stay up past 11pm

    Seem to remember doing it a bit like that in a Premier Inn carpark once. Only we took a tiny bit longer.
