what did you do to your 944 today

[scam75]

Washed it.

 

[blade7]

Took it for an MOT, had to splash out on a new wiper blade to get a pass .

 

[scam75]

Looks good, I hope you recover from the financial hit soon...........

My MOT is due next month, going to service it tomorrow and change my alternator belt which has seen better days then we should be all good.

 

[scam75]

Oil changed today, was 8k miles since last change, still looked almost new. Sticking to my Total Quartz Racing 10w/50, served me well.

New alternator belt done as well. MOT up next at some point before 11th September. Road trip planned 15th September, Scotland this time NC500 route.

First proper wash since I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. A good cleaning sesh really helps point out the areas that need attention….

Not today, but yesterday at Croft circuit in North Yorkshire:



A full day on track, then down to The Motorist near Leeds for a book launch event with my mate Rich and JayEmm, then 120 miles back to Newcastle.

Superb, JayEmm, he does like a 44 turbo if a bit boring.

Didn't he win a well used 944 turbo S in one of those car lottery comps, I wonder how many tickets he bought, and if he still has the car?

I do like his videos, not technical enough for me though most of the time, I prefer watching someone talk through the innards of an engine rebuild or conversion.

Totally agree, he did have a turbo s that I believe he still owns. Not sure how he acquired it. Last video of his I seen he was talking about a guy that rammed his almost brand new BMW into a tree and nearly killed himself while JayEmm was filming, about 40mph as well, the auto box changed gear on a small bend on a slightly wet road. A wild accident considering the speed. Might have been a new 8 series, a 2 door anyway I think.

I've never understood why people will drive hours/miles, to lend him their cars to test. Credit where it's due, he does seem know what he's talking about. Unlike some of the rubbish posted by wet behind the ears bruvs, innit.

 

[Eldavo]

Nah, he sold the Turbo quite some time ago. Really nice chap - the YT persona is very much a “character” he’s a lot quieter and more reserved IRL. Proper car geek too, loves chatting about technical stuff but knows he’d lose most of his audience if that was the main part of his vids.

I think the video of me spinning it into the infield in the bouncing down rain is too big to upload here

 

[blade7]

Sounds like the rain story is straight out of a track day book of excuses .

 

[Eldavo]

Not on this occasion - there was a small stream running across the out exit/braking zone into the first corner!

Agree!!! Maybe tomorrow! Weather is not bad!!!!

 

[scam75]

Brought mine home after a 600 mile road trip round Scotland. A fabulous week, decent weather, great roads and car never put a foot wrong (or the driver to be fair lol)!

My battery is very charged!
