hi all mnr owners and friends of mnr

hi all
appologies for my absence on here for a while, the last 12 months on a personal level have been rather trying to say the least !!! on a more positive note however :-) the first proper production lmp now has turbo charged hyabusa installed :-) all rear suspension complete main tub complete, just front end to go :-)
the mazda demo car is now finished and awaits an appropriate time for iva :-)
our seven has benifitted from a few little tweeks here and there, new fabricated steel front uprights 1/2 a kilo lighter than the raceleda ones :-) lightened bracketry in some places 3 kilos saved :-) some body tweeks here and there to make the new iva easier :-) although all cars under build will not have any great issues just the lower body edge for which we have a loan parts available :-)
we are currently in the process of revamping our website too that will be much easier to follow and have full online shopping facilities. also an mnr owners loyalty scheme will follow shortly behind Meanwhile we are gearing up to our continued expansion / investment . namely another new cnc lathe, an additional tube bender, a cnc tube saw, another tube notcher , and further extension to our buildings approx another 1500 sq feet
we are also fitting out a new support vehicle for next years shows, ( its bigger and can carry even more beer and burgers :-) this we hope will start to create an better aftersales owner experiance :-) as a proper owners club will be also established :-) i now have the freedom to race again and we will actively participate and support the racing scene as much as possible so if your thinking of racing get in touch :-)
well thats enough from me im no touch typist so this has taken an age to compose and the spelling is probably horrendous :-)

best regards

marc
and all at mnr ( although nobody else is accountable for the bad spelling but me )
:-)

Hey up mate,

At some point things can't get any worse even on the 'Nordon' bad luck scale .

See you soon

To be honest, I thought you'd gone quiet because you are appearing on the BBC's "So you think you can dance."



Hands up - who likes a Marc lookie-likey?

In all seriousness, and as per prior correspondence, I'm glad 2010 looks a bit more settled.

Cheers

yep here this evening m8, you wont believe it we got broken into last night !!!! dont think anything has gone , they where disturbed by the dogs and the people in the holiday cottages, they had tried to take the quad and snow plough, but failed either because they where interupted or because the brakes are sticking
just extensive damage to door and frame so will be fixing that today and maybe adding some three phase to the handle for good measure

I was going to ask what you'll be racing in but no doubt I would have got the answer "MNR!". So, what formula / class(s) are you getting back into?


Gergely - 26/1/10 at 02:29 PM

Hi Marc! Good to hear from you and the plans!
I can't wait to see the LMP tearing up the tracks... pics please!
Sorry to hear from the break-in... mind the electricity though, some people were recently convicted in Hungary for the same thing: running 230V in their fences to stop burglars and some thieving bastards were killed in the process...

On a more cheerful note: good luck with your projects!
