back in black

Ordered (and received a few days later) some black "Pop" plates form VicRoads. Same number. Goes well with the paint colour. The front plate is held on with double sided tape, so that it conforms to the shape of the front bumper better (and does double duty hiding the holes that I put in it the other day ;o)

Now I just have to get rid of the orange bits (reflectors, indicators, etc)...



Also got the stone chip in the windscreen repaired, though it is still quite visible (it just stops it cracking further).

Phillip Island - Round 1

Back at the track! (at last)

Another great fun day at the track, my first event in at least two years. I thought it might take me a little time to get back into it, but I was straight into the 2:04s and showing up many of the newer club members, teehee. Eventually got down to a 2:03.60 which is a new Vic Club class record for Standard NB. Very happy with that.

Not so happy with a massive stone chip in the windscreen (and bonnet, and bumper...) from some flicked up stones, but what can you do?

The new tyres were excellent, though I was spinning up the inside rear out of corners - really need an LSD to stop this or I'll shred them in no time.

Holey crap!

Yep, I've done it again! More damage.
Will be opting for the cheapy repair on this one (ie, forget about it and hide it behind the plate)
