I snapped part of the engine block trying to undo the crankshaft bolt :P

Not a major piece, just a thingo where the cam chain roller sits, might pose a problem for the auto tensioner but we'll see.. nothing a bit of superglue can't fix :P

Just got home from my bosses 60th. We went go-karting on the twin-engine karts at the cockburn raceway!

Had so much fun but have a couple of nasty bruises now haha.
Came 8th out of 20 but I span out the most so I shot myself in the foot there :P
Set the best lap time in one of the races too :) something like 1.06.5. Best of the day was about a second less.

Probably doesn't match my personality but I was easily the most aggressive driver there :lol: I was only overtaken twice and overtook around 20 karts :twisted:

Nice :D

Whoa 1.06 seems pretty quick, when I was there on those karts they seemed much slower ;\

I need to take the Z4 there for a bit of a hoon :P

I thought you went to barbagello?
It might've been the direction, we went clockwise, so it was downhill through the corners :)

They definately didn't get anywhere near 100km/h but they had enough power to drift :P

Don't forget to redline it before you drop the clutch or you'll stall :P
