Nice article in this months Classic and Sportscar magazine,with Ben Buchanan(Grifter)and his lovely pre-cat,in the 'Your classics-readers cherished cars' column.You kept that quiet Ben

You're sharp, Mike! I only found out myself yesterday when I got home to find C&SC on the doormat! It's page 160.

Reckon that should bump up the value of my car by 10-15%

Shame they referred to the Growl '06 as 'the TVRCC meet' though!

Actually a mate and I used to have a competition to see who could get the most letters published in Autocar. One week I got two published in the same magazine! Then he got featured on the 'Buying Advice' column and trumped me. I reckon I win though - pictures of me AND my car!

Hello Ben,

Just wondered if you've noticed any improvement in performance since Interpro fiddled with your timing? Oh, and thanks again for a great day out - when's the next one?

No - the car ran fine before. Interpro set it up a few months ago but when the weather was warmer. Given that only 2 degrees of retard stoppped it pinking altogether I think it was probably the lower air temp on Sunday that was responsible. I did manage to double pop the exhaust under the M4 flyover on the way home though. Gave the following Pug 306 a fright!

Aha! So you're going to put 50,000 miles on yours then just to even it out...?
