i hope the mods will allow this as its not a general advert for everyone,
with what looks like no sponsor now i need to find a new home for my 4.3 precat griff. it is not up for general sale as i would rather it went to someone i know, so if anyone you know is thinking about buying a griff they will not find a better one than mine! i won't go into too much detail but
it is by far the best 4.3 griff you will find!
pm me if interested and i can send some pics
cheers
tim.

Good luck mate, but how is it the best 4.3 you will find? Have you seen mine for example?

Cheers Sandy

OOOHH me too.. I've got a bateson Tilting coverd trailer for sale as well. It will take a Tuscan/ Tasmin keeping the car clean when traveling and also allowing you to store the car in it... It also doubles as a handy caravan at the circuit..

You sure its a good idea going bigger on the wets? I'd have thought it would be too light on them..

Hi G,
I got a very good deal on a set of 250 640 18 Dunlop's a couple of years back , used them a few times and (despite initial reservations) they were good.
Understanding the logic Re weight/wet tyre width ,but my car is'nt that light - especially with me in he driving seat hehe.

As an aside, and you will know where im coming from, but building the red car is swallowing up any spare money , the irony of it all is that 58 is on the button and ready to go - never been better ,just no bloody money left to race it eek.

That said, just seeing how the next week or so, pans out - could do with a good race weekend.

Excellent news Tim,

Was beginning to think clickmotorsport were going to be taking images of Cadwell scenery rather than racing TVR's

Good luck with the testing.

Nice one Tim! Will Keith be coming along with you? I'm testing at Oulton Park on Friday which should give me time to fix anything that falls off, blows up, disintegrates, pops etc before Cadwell. biggrin
