Yeah probably a good idea. Hopefully the traffic shouldn't be too bad from where I am....

It's gonna be weird having to take my helmet with me to work, might wear it for the commute for giggles :D

Keep an eye on it Pete and let me know if it happens - your more into the track scene than me. I think Lauren has done this a few times as I remember talking about Spa last summer.

Well, nothing like last-minute, I'm picking the SC up from the bodyshop on Friday morning 8-[

Then, all I need to do is tighten the SC belt and adjust the bite-point on the new clutch. Think I'll go gentle for the morning, since it's not really been driven since November...

I can't wait. For months my car gets used as nothing more than a shopping trolley.
I just had to drive to the post office and back to pick up a parcel.
It can't be more than 5 miles away. Took me 90 minutes to get there and back.

I avoid all short journeys in the '2 now; the old girl gets a proper heat cycle every time. Since I don't have another car I tend to steal the keys to my mum's on a regular basis. I'm a 28 year-old teenager.
