          Well there's a blast from the past, used to watch this hillclimb at Harewood in the hands of Mr Pinder junior. It's come a long way from those beginnings and is a credit to you.

          We all know what its like to loose enthusiasm, but don't give up now, you need to test the car this year to come out fighting early next year.

          Keep it up!

              Cheers for the comment,unfortunatley there is not a lot of the old sport left in this car ,but the sport was a great car to drive and had some serious money spent on it

                      No pictures but it's about done ,suspension all set up and corner weighted its a bit heavier than before but should be a fair bit stiffer ,I can't believe how much the shell has moved with the welding the strut brace wouldn't fit by about 2mm

                          Lots has changed,it is going to take a bit of tinkering to get it back to handling how it was but should be better in the long run .have you entered ?,my mate Andy is helping someone who bought Ross Loram,s rolling shell they are flat out trying to get it ready

                            Be good to see you back out there mate, half the fun is in the tinkering isn't it?

                            Ive got loads to do but should be out. Ross's 206 went pretty well last year so he should be ok.

                              Well round 1 and 2 went well ,I managed to finish both races got a couple of class wins and a 5 th and 6 th overall ,had a couple of small issues the brakes went again which stopped me from continuing a great battle with Ian Butlers Focus and the throttle spindles on the carbs was sticking which made things interesting at times.thanks to Jon for this pic I had a cheeky look up the inside into Druids but Ian turned in leaving no space so I had to bail .lol
