not me

my brit car co driver greg rose,

he can pedal the thing as steve scott can confirm they had great fun together for the session,

we are doing national day half each, so when i am driving it will look ok,

but when greg is driving it will make you get on the pit wall


well he is two times british rally cross champion,

whot do you recon on the bumper colour/

is was white then we broke it so had to fit the spare one and have not had time to get it painted,

looks a bit mean in black so i thought of leaving it that colour,

greg said it had a nice balance at ford fair with four year old slicks on the back, but he likes a car that he can drift,

not by choice but it was all we had on rims did fit our this years old tyres on the front for him,

as when we did the last track and race round at brands the car was undrivable with the old tyres on allround, the morral is never buy part worn slicks off someone you dont know!


lots of tail end action, not the quickest way round but does look good,

getting some new rubber for national day,

so atleast when i drive it will be predictable when i drive it,
