It's all gone quiet on here - you doing something for next year that you are not telling us about?
Mines all ready - packed in the lorry and ready to go. Well actually still in the lorry after the Birkett; but ready to go, no need to spanner check as the nuts are all rusted on!
30th on track 34th on Handicap - about where we should have been. You up for an all Clio entry next season? If you go to your feminine side I will join you in a 106 only team, after all, as you know - I swing both ways!
I saw the weather and I was one of the people glad I wasn't racing - Got a set of full wet Dunlop SPs though, we used to run them in Eurosaloons and Britcar, we ran them on the Clio in the winter series at Anglesey and went 6 seconds a lap faster than we had qualified on A048's
Remember that I have a rear quarter on my spare shell if you need it, however, if you are like I was after Cadwell last year, you will find that a good beating and a coat of filler will do the trick!
sell it and buy mine, its faster, it handles better, it stops quicker, its lighter, its black and nowadays its got less dents in it :D- and you cheeky burglers used to call mine "The Shed"
To be fair to Paul, he was quicker than Danny in my car last week, but that is a serious bit of kit and Paul can obviously pedal it! The 106 shell prep was done at Torquespeed the same place as mine and the engine is an all steel 9000rpm screamer (although he ONLY revs it to 8500!). Paul told me...
Thats great!
So my secret
Next year I'm doing French Trophy in my 106 Stockhatch (class F) (51 seconds round Mallory on a good night when the clocks go back)
CSCC in the Clio
and I have moved to the dark side - bought an XR4i - I feel an Andy Rouse TT replica coming along for classic saloons or...
James, On a very serious note, I am gutted that you may not be able to race next year - It happens to all of us, especially when we are (were) your age! - please, still get your race licence, you never Know when an opportunity will arise to get a race, don't give in!
Mike Jordan in a 2L £50k honda round Mallory in long 51's. Those other cars must be worth a fortune - or it was a midnight race when the clocks went back!
