Yes. Well done.

 

As for snapping your gear lever off........today my knob split in my hand!

Bit of solo action Rich?

Nice little in between event now booked on 13th October too.

[Mad Scientist 106]

Can't believe it's been a year since i got this back on the road properly.

 

Managed 4 rallies and a few track days. Highlight has to be an eighth overall stage time on a wet event, equalling the time set by a pukka metro 6r4.

 

Made a few suspension tweeks, and there's a couple more in progress.

 

We have entered a shake down event on 2nd March, and before that I have a stud and nut conversion to fit, a quaife manual rack to fit, and a newly built gearbox to go in.

 

Hoping to start climbing up the results this year, and ready for the push!

Good effort Pete! But no bloody power steering??!! Hero

[Mad Scientist 106]

I don't notice on stage, but I do notice just driving on the road. Got a 2.5 turn lock to lock rack too.

 

Corsa electric column going in soon.

Sorry about the music! I didn't do the video!

[DrSarty 90 1 Cars]

Sorry isn't enough for that 'music'!

 

Glad to see you enjoying the car.

 

Any video externally Pete; spectator stuff; fly bys?

[Mad Scientist 106]

Just seen this. Not much from outside knocking about. I'll get someone on the case at the next event! (This Saturday, MIRA, Horiba d'isis stages)

[welshpug 1,657]

hey pete, where did the pics go?

 

I heard the car is now local to me?

[TAG 25 1 Cars]

I think Les Skeet bought it, but has possibly moved it on?

[Mad Scientist 106]

Les Skeet did buy the car, but looks like it is up for sale again in British Rally. He's South Wales somewhere.

 

I don't miss the hassle, but I do miss driving it!
