I've just taken the engine out of the TT. It broke something on the start line at Curborough in October. We assumed that it was another diff output shaft (we couldn't be arsed checking as it was the last run of the final event).

However, its the drive shaft. Broken at the CV end. I've never broken one before.

Carl, you must have some spare you might like to flog me.

To be fair the shafts are the ones that the original car came out of the factory with in '86. They have been thrashed by me since '94.

They are also the same ones as crashed by Ben, then me, then me again. So they've lasted ok.
