Sods law ... no knocks since '93 ... paint it over the winter and what happens at the 7th race of the season ...


Thats the vid of John Cross's V8 spaceframed Merc hitting Andy in the side.

The damage



the repairs





all we need now is a bit of paint and we will be ready for this weekend at Lydden ... and we need the results, due to the crash Andys class lead has been cut.

Took the car to the rollers for a check before the last race of the season, which is at Brands this weekend. Slightly pleased with the results
