Many thanks to the organizers for making it happen & the comments from the friendly folk about my car. jon I'm so glad you joined up - crackin little car - I was the guy running the sprint and I think there are a few happy people on here that were glad you settled on just three runs ;D Stick a thread up in the members rides section giving us a bit of history because I'm sure it wasn't built in five mins  |

Ah, this explains what the small, white thing I could just about see from where I was standing. All I knew at the time was 'chuffin' 'eck, that thing's shifting!'

I was stood watching this on the banking, the sound of the crowd all at once and collectively say 'wow' or somthing similar, as soon as you tanked it off the line for the 1st time! Ah the sweet sound of vtec kicking in!!!!!!! Mental little car, AWESOME!!!

My brother and I saw it in the 'carpark' before you took it out on the track. I told my brother that I thought it would be V-quick and that I loved the build quality. So when we saw it roll up to the start line there was anticipation!
No disappointment though, that MG flew. Thought it looked a handful in places, nether the less a brilliant car. I was only disappointed I didn't get to see under the bonnet. Maybe you could post a few pics up when you get a Readers Rides thread up on the forum.

Epic car, a fine example of how it SHOULD be done. The quality of the build, even down to the tidyness of the cockpit, faultless. Just a shame I missed it go out on track, it was the only car i thought to make sure i didnt miss! Grrrrrrrr!!!!

Hi Jon. Spoke to you albeit briefly when I stopped you for a photo before you moved from where this first shot was taken. Awesome car. I was only sat 10 yards from the fence overlooking the track. I heard the sweet note of your car pulling away from the startline....... by the time I reached the fence you were well into the first corner Here are the pics from my thread for those that haven't seen this beautiful car. Shame I didn't get a pic of the cockpit and engine but then wouldn't want to spoil the fun when you post them yourself in your up and coming readers ride thread  ;D. BTW If your looking for a track in the South West ish then Castle Coombe is a great track. Keep an eye on their website for the action days that they run when you can just pay per run. Always been a good day when i've been.   Cheers. Dave. |
