Road Rat does the Slipway

I have to confess to someone ... I've been doing it again.

Hi Kaspa
let me know when you are going to Manfeild next. I might to the HCCC dual car sprints. Might do MG Classic meeting in April. Port Road Industrial Area street sprints are on Sunday. Just like being in a police car chase movie. The Slipway is a rather surreal drift track built by the farmer who owns the land behind the Brooklyn windmill in Wellington. 10 mins drive from Parliament buildings! google "slipway wellington drift" and you'll find all sorts of stuff. let me know if you want to come down for an autocross there.. there are some coming up that do not require MSNZ membership etc. Keen to know how your build is going. In the meantime, here's last Sunday at the Wallaceville hill climb:

!!! now I remember... I saw your car parked outside the "7" shed at "Whittikers" last year. Looked very sharp. It was for sale??? is this to fund your new build?

Hi Brian, yeh that was Monty, i was entered for the meet but got let down by tunner, car wasnt finnished so we just had her on display, i actualy sold the car last Jan 07 and spent all year doing the rebuild upgrade for new owner, who grasiously let me debut it at Taupo in Jan.
so now i'm building a track car for myself to play in. it wont be the big budget Monty mobile but it should be quick enough to be a midfeilder, i hope.
look fowared to catching up sometime
