On Saturday we got up really early to go to Sandown.  We left at about 7 o'clock.  When we got there we said hi to all the boys and crida gave me a bump on my shoulder.  I said hi to belly and Jo I said hi to Rachael and had a look at Rachael‘s E36 because I have one of them that dad and I are building together.

Everyone had a good look at dads knew paint job on his E30. 

When Dad started driving he knew there was something wrong but he knew straight away what it was.

He started taking out the plugs out and seeing what ones were black, one of them was very black and we figured out it was the coil.

Later on in the day I had a parade lap in Rachael’s car Witch was really fun but there was a little green mini up front that was holding us all up.  I could tell Rachael was a very good driver.

I hope Blake doesn’t mind but I snuck in and grabbed a few biscuits and Jo made me a beautiful egg and bacon roll and at that point I was really hungry.

Dad’s best time was 1 minute and 26 seconds and he reckons he could still pick up another second.  Dad was so happy that he figured out what the problem was with the plugs and the coils and that the car didn’t break down. Everyone did grate and had great fun especially me.

Thankyou Belly,  Jo and Rachael.
