Hopefully this. If I'm really lucky (unlikely) it'll have the LSD in it as well. Each RR event makes me do something else to the car to make it better/faster. Since Goodwood last year the following has been upgraded/changed; clutch - needed to go ceramic brakes - ducting and servo tune - it's still not been done professionally though dampeners - fully adjustable all round now ARB - fitted and rose jointed and probably a few more bits

This..... Applied for an afternoon run, we went up last year but have changed the engine from the 1285cc to a stroker 2007cc Since the 1300 was standard and therefore 44hp, I think we should easily have between 2 and 3 times more power this year Hoping Toms people have been speaking to bstardchild people like last year

Hoping Toms people have been speaking to bstardchild people like last year It's been none stop chatter - I'm leaving them to it - last thing I heard was that Toms people were trying to negotiate a payment for appearance and my people were trying to negotiate a additional payment to cover CROWN control and security which is always a pain with these prima dona type stars I think the two will net off in the end - I have no idea why they trying and make a simple process so complicated

Well we do have a fairly varied line up coming together
Alfa Romeo - 2 Audi - 4 Austin - 5 Austin Minor - 1 Bmw - 11 Chrysler - 1 Citroen - 1 Crawford - 1 Daihatsu - 2 Fiat - 3 Ford - 22 (Good range of cars from Fiestas to Cortina's) Hillman - 1 Honda - 4 Lancia - 1 Land Rover - 2 Little Tikes - 1 (Yeah currently working out how to handle that one) Mazda - 7 (Mainly MX-5's) MG - 2 Mitsubishi - 1 Morris - 1 Morris Minor - 1 Nissan - 5 Peugeot - 6 (205's and 106's Mainly) Porsche - 2 Reliant - 1 Renault - 5 Rover - 4 Shelby - 1 Skoda - 1 Smith - 2 Subaru - 1 Toyota - 7 Triumph - 1 UVA - 1 Vauxhall - 7 Vw - 7
What does concern me is the number of entries with no car details at all - a total currently of 9
Oh and that's a total of 135 entries for 120 spaces so we are already over subscribed
