Quick update

Neither Mike Rainbirds car or the Labatts RS500 will be able to do charity rides now as they both have engine issues.

However Xsport are putting on a 2nd Seat Championship car piloted by the awesome Greg Rose.
Plus there will be another mk2 escort to join hoepfully.

So not all bad

At least your slim and will fit in nicely. I'm bringing a few packs of lard and butter to help some of the more structurally challenged people into the passenger seat.

Yes.....after several calls to "Dawn" and her thinking I was a crank caller, we discovered she did not exist but I did have the right number!

All sorted. A bigger room reserved for 3 slightly above average sized boys.

my labatts car has no engine issues ( had an intercooler leek so pro alloy have re-cored it for me) its not a standrad rs500 one and has the group A rad mounted of it, so no easy fix.

the intercooler is done but A1 has not had time to fit it back in.
