Hi Kirsty any track days planned & hows the S2000 pleased?
S2000 is FANTASTIC!!! had her on track in France in September - wish she hadn't been so good as now So SO tempted to track her here. Dave's just put the caterham 6 speed box in the striker and had it at oulton last month - what a difference it's made!! How you getting on?
Im fine Kirsty thanks, sold the Esprit and it's been exported to Oz - wierd.
The TVR went to Nice - SOF, seems im becoming a classic car exporter by accident lol.
The Triumphs a hoot. It looks like nurse Gladys' car but does the 1/4 mile a second quicker than my old Scooby! The niose is pure 60's 6 cylinder growl.
The Striker sounds good. I think thats a better chassis than a Caterham in some ways particularly the inboard front suspension like a single seater (same as my Furyblade).
Personally lifes very exciting (we are adopting a child at the moment and moving house at the same time so it's a whirlwind).
Look forward to seeing you and Dave again soon - stay safe you two.

Racing Snake - great stuff - you staying local? Saw the 'For sale' board up.
All - With regards who's been approached regarding this event, i know he's keen to promote to a similar crowd to the likes of Cars in the Park. There will probably be a couple of slightly chavved Imprezas - BUT (bear with me!), i know he's also emailed the folks at the owners clubs for the likes of TVR, Morgan, Ariel, Lambo Club UK etc etc - so hopefully a bit more sportscar and exotica. The likes of the Renault Sport guys and VXR guys have been invited too - but they tend to be newer cars. Ok, there may be the older Clio 172s - but the younger lads more tempted to put on the chavvy lights and boom boom stereos cant afford to run/buy/insure the Corsa/Astra/Vectra/Monaro VXRs or Megane R26r's etc!
It'll be set up a bit like CITP i think too - so it won't be a case of parking in whatever order it is that you come in to the place in. I think people will stick together a little bit, be it by make/model or by club/forum etc.
