Car also felt more lively after (totally over) filling with BP 98 octane and a larger than usual dose of Redex plus Octane boost. Somewhere there is a leak when the tank gets too full - but I can't see where - made a mess on the forecourt though.
Early run on A14 not the much fun but the second half was a picturesque 50 mile drive over the Fens I arrived at 10:17 - mileage now 20340 about 90 miles on the clock plus the 10% error so about 100 miles.
Weather warming up very nicely - too hot by 12:00.
Encouraged into the concourse as there were so few S1 cars - actually only 4 ! Forgot how ratty it's got - but very original compared to the pampered and over restored ones.
Mumbling from the judges about the time it took for one car. Mine was second on the list of about 25 cars and only just done by 12:00.
Not sure what they thought - and I'll have to leave before the results - but I assume lots of 3's and 2's do not score that highly.
Worth going though as I picked up a pair of chrome window channels - unique to S1's - add it to the job list.
Run back was great in the summer sun - punctuated by the bonnet coming open three times and witnessing a small accident. Some of the Fen roads are very bumpy though - need to check out the underside.
