I think Oulton last November was an MSV event, and yeah my lad was allowed, just wasn't sure if Cadwell has different rules before I go telling my lad and booking tickets for him

I've finally booked a CSF event. Even though Anglesey is/was a lot closer for me, it always clashed with other events I was doing. Will be camping all weekend and ive booked on Group C in my Mini. Havnt done Cadwell before so it should be good to try, ready for my trip to the real Nurburgring...

I've used www.thewheelrestorer.co.uk in the past too, but there is a place in Llay doing wheels that my brother used (he didn't have diamond cut, just powdercoat), and I keep seeing adverts for a place in Ellesmere Port too with some reasonable offers.

My most recent purchase as a commuter/dog car 2009 A4 tdi 170 S Line Face-lift front and 19" alloys Heavier steering than I'm used to. Drives quite nice otherwise. Had the Golf for a few years now. Great fun track car. Remapped GT Tdi140. Fully stripped out, rear cage, seats, harnesses...
