Speaking of BECs...
Just a reflection - though I see what you mean ( and I have written-off an OMS single-seater at that very track when I ran out of talent, so there is precedent )
Got it back from the Rolling Road...
It's going to the rolling road on Thurs for a set up and to diagnose an intermittent fault - aiming for about 200bhp/ton.
Slow compared to my single seater but you get to admire the view on the...
Cheers guys - I have not added a "my other car's a Mini" sticker....... though the little car got a bit of a makeover during the winter:Group 2 arches , new suspension; uprated braking system; stage...

Nice looking Mog. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my +4. I didn't realise how well they handled until a Morgan only trackday at Knockers where mine got a good thrashing.

Stiglet junior did the deal with Steve himself so I didn't meet him but from what he tells me Steve was very helpful and "went the extra mile" when junior had an issue with the car on the way home. ...
The day before yesterday, my youngest son bought a Mk I example of this forum's default answer to life, the universe and everything
So as the sun has his hat on, this weekend I have mostly been...

Scottish hills and sprints. I do it as much for the banter and craic in the paddock as the driving itself. Great bunch of folk. Just back from a weekend sprinting in the pouring rain and can report...
