its just comeing up to a month old and it went on its first track day at brands hatch on the 18/4/07, witch was great.

oney thing is that its sicked up all its power stearing fluid all over the bonet and all over the belt. its booked in on thursday for them to have a look at it, but im a little worried that they may have a little something to say about the fact thats its been around the track.

what do you think?

apart from you telling the world about it, the chances of a dealer tech being capable of looking at the car and guessing it's been tracked are slimmer than you winning the lottery twice in successive weeks.


My take is, you overheated the fluid and it expanded and escaped through the vents in the cap when cornering hard.

They'll probably check the level, clean it and thrash it before giving it back to you.
