Following on from Blyton was a day up at Oulton. Oulton is my favourite track but sadly it's so f**king far away, a day there turns into a £1,000 3-day event usually as it's 5 hours with the trailer, I usually end up booking a hotel for 2 nights too. The car was in good company with a couple...
Little update, been forgetting I have a thread on here too.
Blyton Park. As usual it's always wet when I go to Blyton, which honestly I don't mind too much, last time we went half the track was underwater, this time we actually managed to use the entire track. Other than the clutch still being...
Several updates to be summed up in a few photos. The 172 was sold to fund a new engine for the 197, the mk2 was fun but it was only going to end up being another car that I'd make miserable to drive on the road, so I did a trackday at Snetterton in it when the 197 was making noises I didn't...

NSF caliper has been mauled by an incompetent ham-fisted mong at some point in its...
Hello! Long time lurker coming out of the woodwork here...
First up is the old faithful, I bought my 197 at the end of 2016 for a mere £3295. It was a bit rough around the edges (you'll get used to that around here...) but mechanically pretty good, it had some dealer special budget tyres all...
