Didn't have a lot of time so only got around to adding about 3/4 degree camber all round. Much better, definitely quicker and back to (almost) how it was before I broke the rear uprights last year. Long story as to why it didn't get set back to the same after the repair.

Snapped my exhaust at the collector late in the afternoon though...

Yes, the first one at blyton 2years ago. I'm guessing the bodge weld has gone but not looked properly.

So no Dave, not the one where we both went in the gravel but the year before where Jeff wouldn't get in my car.

My excuse was that the car was given back to me with the suspension way too stiff. So stiff that it was a job to drive it in the dry. It was set up with the fronts on one click, when I got it back with the new front end grafted on all the shocks were set to eight clicks.

So it wasn't my fault technically :? :D

Looks like my bodged weld is OK after all. Finally got around to taking the Fury off the trailer and there on the bed was the blanked off lambda boss. Broken off around the HAZ from the weld, leaving about a 1" hole in the front pipe.
Question now is, will it take as long to getting around to removing the side pod and repairing as it did to unload?
