Need the rust cut out and a decent repair done on our cup ,
looked at a few and for some reason the cup shells i have seen seem to suffer from this as i spent a month looking at several cups and they all had varying signs of it , where regular mk2's don't

I have tickets for the main event on saturday and are lucky enough to be down the front on the start/finish line
There are always questions about why and what here , this popped up on my facebook feed this morning and its actually very very good at helping understand diffs
They are something people don't entirely understand and when we then move to the benifits of limited slip it helps as to the whys and...
Not sure if anyone else is going or interested but 22/23rd March is the goodwood members meeting . You don't have to be a member but on the other hand its not a cheap ticket.
Its really harking back to the special time before things like FOS got really popular and access is great
this year the...
Right this is a different one .

I see in my recent track driver magazine that K-tec have developed shocks with Nitron now .....
Apart from them stating they are german (and Nitron are and always have been british made british engineered shocks) they are actually bloody good .
