Sounds like everythings going according to plan then

[tetol]

what evening are you at brands?

[the old man]

Was at Brands Wednesday, along with the missfire!!!!!! Now sorted, I think.

Probably won't hit a track again now until Practice at Cadwell on Friday afternoon.

As usual it's all gone to the wire.

ah right thought you were doing one evening this coming week and would have tried to join you but my bike won't be ready till thursday i hope for practice on friday.

I saw your bike at Neil's on Friday and it still wasn't sorted so I'm glad to hear he's gotten to the bottom of it. Sounded a like a loose connection in the loom or a broken wire etc.

I'll see you on Friday
