For the Snetterton weekend I partnered up with Shaun Ely, my mate who I normally race against but his Pugeot 205 is off being fettled at the moment (he's designed his own independent rear suspension for it!) and as he's been helping with the car we agreed for him to have a go in a Clio. I don't...

This.. A swan neck is the answer

Pirtek in Harlow made one for me. Top service Not sure if i still have my cup hoses but I'll have a look.

Race report pending

I'm not sure a phase 1 nose swap as as straight forward as wings, bonnet, bumper and slam panel but I'm sure someone else will be able to clarify what is involved. Loving the creativity though!

Good work. Watch out for that rear main seal though. I fear you may have knocked it in too far. It should protrude about 2-3mm. A ridiculous design!

Where was this? Combe?

Thanks mate. but don't read too much of it, there's plenty of heartbreak in here too!

Donington 2 hour endurance 21st June Well that was stressful! This was the first event of its kind at Donington and the CSCC had put a fair amount of effort in to its smooth running. There were actually to be 2 endurance races. One for the modern stuff, (including us in the Tin Tops) and a...

A short film made by my youngest daughter who is a first year film student at Brighton Uni. Hoping to get her to a few more meets in the future. Its great for those who don't have the attention span to watch one of my on-board films (most people I'm guessing - me included!)
