Driving gloves might come in handy keeping your hands warm as your left hand will be out the window pointing cars by!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I am already enjoying this club, and all I've done is make a post!

I appreciate the comments. I woouldn't say my "autox" experience will be an edge, you haven't seen me autox!

Looking ahead is definetly on my list of "to do things".

Gloves to keep my hand warm. It's a good thing I know you well Keith. Playing with your tire pressures in the pits will be that more enjoyable.

O man. That would be bad. You don't need to tempt me, you need to convince Heather we can stay within budget for our wedding and that I can afford/need a set of SSRs for my new car.

There is a limit to how many words I type here, so I can't really answer this.

If the brakes have not been flushed in six or more months, flush the system. Its not much more effort than bleeding. NHIS is tough on brakes.

As a minimum, squeeze a couple of pumps out of each wheel -- You may find very dark junk from previously hot calipers, especially the front, so then keep pumping until clear.
