Default I dont think it could get any worse!!!!

I was on my way to Heathcote friday lunch time (for the LS1 nats) and wasn't feeling the best.
Then it happend.
It has to be the worst thing I could ever imagin and totally F#@*ed up to boot.
Yup I think someone may have guessed it.
I chucked all over the bloody place at 100 kay's.
I managed to pull over without crashing but not befor I let a second lot go all over the place. I managed to get the door open for the 3rd 4th and 5th round.
I was absolutly devistaded to say the least. I couldn't bloody belive it. i was ready to pack up and go home right there and then.
I gave it the best clean i could on the side of the road, Made it to the track with out a re-occurance.
Spent 2 hours cleaning the ute out to no avail. I could not get rid of the smell.
I got up sat morning and started stripping the dash, door trims ect and cleaning them with pine o clean and a toothbrush. 3 hours later I got rid of it all.
I guess it payed off in some strage way ( I would say sick way but hey lets not go there)
I did run a new P.B of a 13.21 and discovered that the isntrement cluster on the BA comes apart in many many pieces and it is very easy to mark or paint a few red lines on you tacho......

Apart from all that it was a great weekend and this is me getting home now.
It was a shame that there wernt more ford's there. No wonder I was sick, having to hang around with holden drivers for the weekend...


Cheers....Kev

well done Kev, 13.21 shaves a little more off your best time, you must be sick of running 13.2's...

Kev you poor thing, I hope it was just a 24hr bug and your over it all now.
As for vomit in the car, I know it only to well, but I had it inside my door lining :(
Not nice, everytime I got in the car for the next few days I wanted to throw up.
Congrats on the PB. Well done.

At least no one could question your dedication. Congratulations on the PB not the spew.
