Default No Bedford for me.............

Last night, whilst setting up the bias pedal box, I discovered a fooked master cylinder.

As such, I've called it a day in getting the car done.

Absolutely gutted, as I'm so close, it's untrue, although I am still short of a couple of bits.

Not going to come to Bedford either, as I can't be doing with spectating a track day when I should have been driving it - that'd be like torture.

So, and as long as the Beds people have no problem with it, someone can have my track pass for nothing. I've got a track pass and garage, so if anybody wants it let me know.

Now I know EXACTLY the reason people like Sean broke their cars and didn't finish them (albeit on a MUCH smaller scale then his!)

Cheers to a few people who have been running around like madmen trying to get things done at the last minute for me, including Brom, and Dingy. Cheers lads.

Car will be finished when it's finished, and then broken at the end of the year - I'm gonna go and buy a Caterham like I should have done in the first place

Lewis,

Cheers for the offer, but it's a separate master cylinder for a pedal box.

Even if you could get it to me, there's still a couple of other bits I'm missing.

Silly question, but what exactly is the point of a track car that isn't allowed on track?
