RE: Stoneleigh Show (Ultima)
Discussion
The bloke with the Ultima next to ''Baz'' or whatever his name is, was one of the rudest people I''ve had the misfortune to meet. I was reading an article in the owners club magazine on the way up to Stoneleigh (with an Ultima owner) about his car which sports a rear view video camera. When we commented on this to him (Ultima car club members being almost exclusively owners not just annoying anorak types) he replied "Oh, that must have been exciting for you" - what a grade ''A'' knob. I hope this isn''t indicative of all Ultima owners as I''m about to embark on building a GTR.

Alan,
Apologies if my comments caused offence!
Man, that was a long time ago, although, at the time I was a bit offended by what I thought was a 'look-down-the-nose-attitude'. Probably unintentional by the sounds of it.
Having owned (and own) several TVR's, race a locost which I hand built and helped spanned a MKIV, I was a bit miffed at the time as a 'genuine' enthusiast who has the money, time, means to build a GTR and was/is genuinely interested in building one. I've just got my National A from my 10th race at Brands which was my orignial racing goal, so am now looking v.seriously at building a grade 'A' Ultima. Any advice you could give would be appreciated and in return, I'd be happy to show you how to drive it
Incidently, at a recent track day, I was in my 1300cc Locost vs. a 5.7L Ultima driven err.... 'with spirit', we were within 1/2 a second per lap!
Cheers
Stig
