Get Mike to turn it up to 11, I have a SC now 😂 (I feel a bit like John McClane - "Now I have forced induction, ho ho ho"...) Didn't realise you had Thruxton booked, I'm doing the one in October. Looks like that September date is sold out now.

It is with very sad news that I have to announce that Jordan Wade has lost his battle with depression. To many he was the cheeky and often controversial face of the club and whilst I always saw him as a good friend and a true petrolhead that loved nothing more than to while the night away talking cars with a pint in hand. Those were the good times. However, he had a true passion for all things automotive for which he lived and breathed. A kindred spirit I always thought if ever there was. That is what I'll miss Jordan for. I have spoken to Jordan in the past about his depression and I really hoped that things were getting better, but that wasn't the case and there is nothing I or anyone it seems could do. I am not sure what we will do from here as I would have been at the funeral, but I seriously doubt current circumstances will allow. I am meeting with Richard to have a discussion about it, but feel that if we can't be there we should perhaps organise something else and Jordan would have liked a good amount of GT86 presence. So I will have a think about that and welcome any ideas. I have spoken with Jordan's girlfriend, Michelle and she is understandably devastated and confused by the whole turn of events. I have let her know that we are there to support her and we will. I am just so terribly sorry to have to tell you all about losing one of our best and I think most loved members of the club. Apologies for not making a very well written post, I am just so sad and I can't think straight.

RIP, Jordan. You were always fun on Facebook and I enjoyed following your posts here. I hope you have found peace now.

So many emotions to this news, shock, disbelief, utter sadness, and others I just can't put into words. I have so many fond memories of chats when I was on night shifts, online banter, chats and laughs at car events and so many socials. What a devastating loss, I can't imagine the pain and grief Michelle and Jordan's family and friends are experiencing. @Lauren I am glad you have been able to reach out to Michelle.

Devastating news - a truly lovely guy. Could we have a GT86 procession behind the hearse to the funeral and then we go onto a pub garden for a drink in his memory??

My are Gramlight, but then I compensate extra weight with a bit extra power from TD Turbo[emoji6] Nov 9th with Circuitdays is fully booked I think, but you can get on wait list and they probably will have few last minute spaces. I am also doing Thruxton on Sep 22nd And hopefully we will have a nice group of GT86s for Bedford GT on Nov 21st https://facebook.com/events/s/trackday-bedford-gt-msvt/650535892388900/?ti=cl Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

There's this one through Circuit Days, Silverstone in early November. Between you, me, and @VAD17 we could make it 3 grey GT86s and 2 sets of TE37s 😂

When you get the new oil in and the new oil filter installed, prime the oil system by pressing the clutch and accelerator pedals all the way. That kills the spark and let the engine crank for as long as you need it to get the oil through the engine.
