Be careful though as I swear when we fail to get up the very icey Windout. We finished and we had a good time, but still no medal on The Exeter!

Gradually getting set up for the Exeter at the weekend. Bit of a panic this afternoon as the Saffie hasn't been used since we got back from the Hardy and I went out to start her up and warm her through incase anything didn't work before we set off. ran the engine for a couple of minutes and noticed fuel dripping from the carb onto the exhaust manifold! A brief investigation showed a fuel pipe leaking where it had split at it's join with the carb. Stanley knife and screwdriver soon had it repaired and we are up and running without the dramatic smoke of petrol dripping onto a hot exhaust.

Our start time is 2:07 am on Saturday and we are the penultimate car on the road in Class 0. As usual we will post some pictures from the mobile as we travel.
