Sorry mate, doc says rest is the only cure. What we thought to be a case of 'Tennis Elbow' (and no, I don't even play) has upgraded to a torn tendon.
I am trying to read the long words he scribbled, but I can't make it out.
I am even typing this left-handed, and surprised myself with my new-found dexterity, but I will not be up to much heavy-duty driving for a few weeks.
Hope for improvement before Xmas as I get my new garage delivered and have a lot of work ahead out the back.
Have fun guys, I may drop by if the wife fancies driving this weekend.

Sorry to hear about your hand/arm Chris...

It would be nice to have you and Mrs GreaseMonkey up for the day (any excuse for a drive)

15 minimum, great to hear the target will be reached Michel:cool:

GM, I reckon the Doc's scribble is saying - "should be fine to drive one handed and operate auto transmission with left hand"

Michel, I haven't heard back from my mate with the Torana... I may catch up with him tomorrow or saturday. I guess if numbers are low, then it might be ok if he just rocks up and brings a form and $$$ on Sunday morning?

I am looking forward to tomorrow....

As a special surprise , Albert (my son) and I have decided to bring a 'hottie' on the track (so Styria..... not another Olga....)

Here it is a 2008 Lancer Evolution X MR

I don't know how many 280's are going to be there but with all the V8's and now an EVO I'm starting to feel a little inept. Need to compensate. I'm off to buy looney tunes car seat covers.:D

I'm still hoping to take the 690SEL weather permitting :p

AWESOME!!! Keen as to see the EVO tested out. :cool:

Don't worry Oscar, i'm a little confident that your M110 will hold it's own quite nicely. ;)

The 690 looks great in that pic ay.. :)



Less than 24hrs people!! :D :D :D :D :D

I've just picked up the trailer. Last minute spin to test camera mount and other bits. (Email coming at ya Cam)

Been keeping an eye on the weather. 21 degrees -purrrrfect I don't reckon it'll rain much if at all. A few spits but that's it. Actually, that's a guarantee.;)

Michel, what will you take then??

Michel, you should bring everything, :D I'll lend you my trailer.

Great idea Anthony. Though I haven't got a decent hand held one and it's too late to buy one where I'm at.:mad:

Even though the OP people were recording times, I was going to calc my times off my camera as well, but you can't beat immediate lap results.

Don't suppose a GPS, tomtom etc can do this sort of thing can it?
I used to be up with electronic gadgets but lost interest. Must have been the moment I started playing with carburettors I think, LOL.
