Took Alex karting to Combe today (he went really well, only j-u-s-t missed out on getting to the Final) and we used the Sprite - not my race car, but the tidy little road car I acquired last year. Roared out of the parking area at the Circuit, got to the first speed hump and........it d-i-e-d. Just petered out :-( Frantic diagnosis indicated the fuel pump so I shook it, prodded it, fiddled with the leads all to no avail so I resorted to the ultimate tool. I reached in the boot for the wheel brace so I could give it a good clout - and the pump started ticking and hasn't missed a beat since!
Ruddy cars.
Still, it was nice to drive it in the sunshine. Hood was down of course. Lovely drive round the country lanes of North Wiltshire. Fantastic! Here's to the next one.
Redoubling the effort on the race car now. Got a couple of sneaky plans up my sleeve, it may be a bit different to what's expected. Watch this space!
