Stuarts new toy

Well, time the enemy again because I want to get out in the race car before the season starts I will be using last years car for a couple of races while my new black Mk1 gets finished, my fault if I didn't want to test myself before the season the new car would be ready, but I feel last year I missed out on valuable points early in the season through pants driving on my part, so no mistakes this year as its my last in a Mk1 I want do do well.


So to the story in hand, Stuart has purchased a new toy..... an engine crane/winch "sigh", he loves it, and because of the change around in cars being used , the engine and gearbox that he had already put in the new car needed changing back to whence it came...my 2006 car, but!
With his new toy..........................

It is a far quicker job!
So a very happy man, twenty minuets it was, and that was to transplant the whole engine and gearbox secure on the engine mounts, when with out his new toy it had taken lots of blocks of wood, lots of swearing and about a half a day.

Road car damage TESCO`S not again





As she was before the bread loaf,


AFTER SOME LITTLE b*****rd decided to rearrange the styling.........

So thanks for that! I did like it as it was, so SPRAYBAY to the rescue, it will be fixed up again in a week or so, and i have now lost my little savings you pests! learn to drive, it was all on its own you didn`t need to go near it did you but you just had to meddle with some one elses property and then run off and say nothing, and thanks to the security guards who just stood back and ignored my car alarm screaming and flashing,"cheers guys i hope you get job satisfaction" NOT!

2008 mk2 race car




We picked her up last week end from Manchester, she will be in storage for a while and then we will be stripping her down to the bare bones and staring at her frillies.
A full rebuild and refurbe this will be one of the lightest MK2`s on the grid "we promise", the car will be ready before the end of 2007 so I want to do some testing and get a feel for racing a MK2.
As you know I have a MK2 Turbo on the road so I am no stranger to how these cars react to speed but my race car will have LEDA units on and that makes a world of difference, this would be one of my best purchases in racing as i had them refurb my MK1 units, they will be refurbish my original units on the new racing MK2 and re-damping them, absolutely would not want to race with out them...brilliant!
