I'll have to time my run up from Didcot to join the M40 at roughly the same time

Car is ready to Rock, droplinks all sorted, exhaust turbo gasket changed, washed, polished and waxed. It's been a busy week but cannot wait to get to Silverstone
For those of you on the M6/M1 in the morning look out for a Cosmos in your mirror... Woohooo

Argh! I'm about 7 miles away but the turbo oil return line has split!!
No Silverstone for me. The car is going back to JD Modified who modified that hose when they fitted the exhaust manifold.

Awesome day Jay, thanks for organising. When's the next one?
3 miles out Silverstone she started boosting normally with no noise, so I'm completely mystified now...

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
We'll definitely be doing another one, the staff at Silverstone were so helpful and friendly... A great day out....
No idea on your turbo mate, that definitely sounded like the impellers hitting the casing. May well be worth talking to Nathan bud... Glad it's Ok to get you home though
Set up a photo thread with Erin's snaps in. Feel free to add to it

Really good to meet everyone today
Thanks Jay for organising a great track day – had fun and learnt something’s about my car
Shinny; sorry to hear your oil return pipe went; gutted for you
Sinjin – chuffed your turbo sorted it’s self out; mystery why it went wobbly on you for a while
Added a few photos I took and the four purchased from Silverstone to the photo thread

Re: 21st July Silverstone Track Taster & Photoshoot Sign Up
Was great to meet everyone and be welcomed so kindly.
Thanks for organising this Jay, absolutely loved it out there!
Was a bit of an early start and took 3.5 hours to get home! but it was so worth it for that time on the track. I seemed to learn quite a bit about the car and give some of the turbos a run for there money
Definitely sign me up for it again, WHEN we do another session! was great fun.
