Snetterton CSCC Future Classics 6th April 2008

Having travelled up the day before and stayed overnight in a superb B&B we awoke to find ourselves in a blizzard! Fortunately by the end of breakfast it had ceased snowing but there was a good coverage of snow on the ground and I was initially concerned that the organisers might cancel the meeting as had happened two weeks earlier in similar bad weather circumstances. However concerns were ungrounded as the temperature rose to 1 degree Celsius and the snow worries soon departed my mind. Only to be replaced by other issues!

Build up to this event had been quite busy but completed on schedule. Glenn had been over and we had the car prepped and just as we wanted it with time to spare (for once!). Only problem we suffered was in replacing all brake discs and pads as the handbrake had adjusted itself right up and so we struggled to work out how to release it to make room for the new discs and pads. Can you believe there is no Haynes Manual for the MX5? A full calliper service sorted the issue and we learnt our lesson which left me with the next two days to play about making video camera mounts and fitting lap timer gear. I like my toys….
