I had been wondering what speed the centre roof panel was rated to... thanks for providing the empirical evidence

Damn!

The Bruntingthorpe run - missed it, but I only got my Wedge back yesterday! When's the next one?

Would anyone be interested if I could arrange an airfield run out this way? Essex/East Anglia.

SEACs do well in a high speed sprint, Dickimints red 420 attended a TVRCC meet at an air field in Oxford in the late 90's, was the fastest TVR that day amongst Griffith 500's etc, no Cerberas though
just for info, one of the mags in late 80's took a 420 SEAC around mira test track, they managed an average over 150 mph on the banked curcuit !!

I took Patricks 420 out at Kemble years ago, before running out of fuel, I was wiping the floor with teh rest of the Pack. (all non competitive ofcourse)

Not got a copy myself, but the club sell books that cover the road tests, 'performance portfolios' or some such, keep meaning to buy/add to xmas list.
Said article may well be in one of those books, much better in hardback anyway IMHO.

They weren't good quality as the original film is in HI 8 format, so I just filmed the TV. Anyone know the best way of getting it into a digital fromat?

Does you VCR have digital out? If so, you can stream it to your PC and edit it there.
