No it's all the weight in the drivers seat frown I thought it would be ok to just leave a plug cap off one cylinder and save fuel furious

Jurbie has taken some great photos - the low angle ones work really well on Tuscans. The shot of Christian's car is so cool...... or should it be hot!?!
Returning to topic - not sure yet, but James and/or I will be racing the Griff in 2014

I will be back out in the Griff (hopefully getting it reliable over the winter!! - Let the stripdown commence...). Looking at Dtec and possibly some CSCC if pennies allow! Been wanting to have a go in their series for a while now - always looks good fun!

Tim - could you not go AJP in that car? Shame to change car given how well you seem to go in it!

First off a big thanks to everyone for making it such an enjoyable year and hats of to Deano who was on fire all year!
It's such a great paddock with a great mix of people & cars, that should only get stronger with the development of the new group C cars and an ever growing A class smile
I was really made up to be awarded the Thunder trophy and have given it pride of place in my front room much to the annoyance of my lovely wife, and i promise next year to make the dinner in a suite!

Thanks for the heads up on the pictures they looks great smile


As for next year, its a new pedal box, larger fuel tank and a good service smile but i reckon i have most to gain from some driver training and much much more seat time!
Would love to get a test or track day in before the end of the year as well!
I have a target and it;s Orange biggrin

i could be interested too, and i think Mark wants to bring his sequential tuscan along and let me have a back to back test with mine. To help me decide what my plans are i would like to drive an AJP with a manual box to compare (Christian ?)
so let me know where and when suits, can't be many options left now.
