Sorry Nick that you where on your own

I'll be on-call in two weeks (unless I can try and swap Wednesdays, you'll see it'll be a scorcher!)

I've managed 0 miles in it since LeMans - due to this piggin weather (Oh and putting it back together)

At least she's ready to roll now.

We'll have to get the local MK's together and design wet weather gear!

Would have though that would be something they'd consider with the new
chassis!!! - Missed a trick there?

You've waited until the weathers got better.... before deciding on an overhaul???

... or has the engine decided for you?

Just as well really, humbled as we were in our "kitcars", by the Ultima Owners, Cateringvan drivers and Classis RS club

Just joking, it was a good evening, and nice to see some more new faces and wheels and my first Brum Brum in the driving seat of the Ultima(Cheers Gaz) Rescued attachment 100_0001a.jpg

I can't make this week - got a much better offer

so that will be no vauxhall engined car present .... looks like you'll have to persuade Nat to take you out in a vauxhall engined death missle from hell (aka his toy car).

Nat, you might want to start a new thread so people see it on the front page of the forum.

I've taken my gear to work, but not looking like this evening is a go-er!

Popping down the library at lunch - there's a little known follow up book by Ron Champion -

"Build you own ARK for £250" - might get more use out of that!!!

Bit harsh Mike, its not from hell, its from my garage

Looks shite tonight, yet again, think I need a copy of the book too.

Does it have the right dimensions for the masts and rudder, or do you need to check the real plans on a forum somewhere??

Well, no pic this time , but in spite of the weather we had a Tiger, an MK a TVR and a Ferrari!
Maybe we drop the Locosters in favor of "Alternative"
Hope to see you all soon
