....And how it looks now (not my car in the pic but pretty much identical to it). Hopefully i'll get some up to date pics of mine when the weather gets a bit better.

eek

Fair play that's an interesting build

That's going to be some weapon when it's finished

How is everyone?

Ready for the winter months?
Got a pair of Snocks in the boot, should be 'interesting' to see if they work or not!

MG's also now got a tramp stamp!

Hi Tom wavey

I drive past your place every day, wondered if you were on here. It always brings a smile to my face going past and seeing loads of race cars sat around outside or if you are loading up for an event.

What are they up to next to your plot now? It looks like a load of building going on, I guess there will be no more 'use' of that area now frown

Anyway, if you see me I'm usually in my old (very old) Fourtrak with a big 'Tonka' sticker on the side!

I might take you up on the offer to pop in one day, you are usually working all hours, the one thing that stops me is thinking it might well end up costing me lots of money, the saving grace is that I would never get my fat ar$e into am MX5, lol

Well, due to the experience of driving to and from work in the white stuff I've now got a spare set of alloys for the Mg to be shod in winter rubber for next time. I've read a lot about how good the Conti winter tyres are, any recommendations?

Hello Tom smile very interesting to learn you're in Blackwood, I'm from Pengam originally and now live in Thornhill. I may pop up myself to say hello when the toy is back on the road. I notice you have an affiliation with Silverstone through your racing. I'm wanting to do a trackday up there using my own car (ST185 Celica GT-Four Lightweight) is this the sort of thing that you'd get involved in; I see it's officially around £250.

What's your going rate for a clutch change on a celica wink

Cool, I'll see what I can get, wheels have now arrived so I'll be refurbing my current set and then sticking winters on them.

I think it's about time I introduced myself on here...

Hi PH'ers, I'm Andy (from Rogerstone) and I drive a RenaultSport Clio 182 Trophy. It's had a few tweaks over the years since I bought it and I enjoy driving it as much now as I did back then.





It's currently at a specialists enjoying an engine rebuild/upgrade.

Cheers!
