As I've got my MoJo back for my MX5 (and some budget) I popped up to the National Rally. To be honest I was a bit disappointed compared to when I went a few years ago. There were some good cars to see and get inspiration from and I had a good chat to some suppliers. As a reflection on what I thought of the show I only took a few photos here's an even smaller selection.
Rocketeer Jaguar V6 conversion, absolutely brilliant and if I had the budget I'd do it. The conversion is incredibly well engineered and looks factory (only better).

Davefab are a relatively new company and are close to me in Devizes, do some very nice parts (catch tanks etc as well as turbo manifolds), this is their demo car.

What else...
A really nice early G reg red MX5 (this is what mine should look like).

I don't know what kit this front bumper is but I quite like it, reminds me of the Ferrari 512 BBLM Berlinetta Boxer.

Very rare Le Mans edition Mk1 BBR turbo (love these wheels, if not the livery I'm sure luckyseven will be along to disagree about the livery)

BBS split rims, I always seem to end up taking pictures of wheels I should just buy a decent set for mine and then stop looking.

and finally this Mazda 'advertising' sign

Is the Japanese script wording for 'Jinba Ittai' or 'Drive Together' if the former I wouldn't mind that on a T shirt.
