Race car is born
On discovery turbo all day - programs start again at approx 9pm tonight, so you could set your recorder for them all - seems to be about 15
programs.
thouight i'd let you all know - though you might have seen it before - its a westfield, but still, good to watch!

The trackday one is good, you see the Original BEC MK Indy in all it's reddish colours, and you also see a guy called Kevin in an Indy
Blackbird. In the episode after that you also get to see the lad who is one of the SVA Testers at Shropshire, a top bloke, but for the life of me
can't remember his name! He is standing on a bank watching the racing!

It was the overnight backup team that made it look easy 
Remember when he built a helicopter in a few half-hour episodes that previous builders said would take 5 years ?
That said, I enjoy the programmes and the Cobra one got me started where I'm going.

Same here, didn't know about his westfield build - it was the cobra one that sparked my interest!

As far as I remember, the Cobra one has a bit more on stripping and renovating Sierra parts. The Westfield one is a build from all new.
It's also got fast driving techniques at Knock Hill
PS - where in Kent are you ?

Locost ? Well up to a point. As far as I remember he refurbs a lot of the running gear etc but eventually chucks away the engine in favour of a huge
Chevvy beast
Anyway. it's probably worth getting the DVD.
I remember Hawkinge - there's an RAF themed pub with WW2 photos etc. I'm frequently in Maidstone which is why I asked.
Cheers

noticed your building/got a gts, how did you find them? did you go up there and order/pick up your kit or was it a "over the phone"/
delivery jobby?
i only ask as they are only 30mins down the road so it would make my life easyer

and confirm?
