My V8S has suprusingly good brakes for 240mm discs. I'm keen to see how fade resistant they are

After a chat with his Scoobs, I suggest we plan (for those staying nearby) a suitable curry night at the local (mullet free) shapla. Anyone up for that?

I organised an event similar to this at Hethel a few years back. Be careful to scope your expectations is the advice I would give biggrin

The heritage part is the best.

I did speak them today and they are in the process of getting registered And I'm sure it will be a well run event, if you want insurance Morris will cover their events but it's an extra cost for those of us with classic line,
Yep - Alex hopes to be sorted for September
