In the back pages, on the 'events' section.

There are several pictures accompanying the forthcoming events such as TVRCC Challenge and Sprint/Hillclimb dates.

One of these small pictures features a Tuscan Racer with no rear end at all. The back axle and wheels seem to be the back of the car.

Has anyone else noticed this. Is it a misprint or do I need specs?

Maybe so but I've never heard it.

Care to enlighten me?

That would be my Tuscan Speedster on the way to 6th place at Oulton Park last year

I had a small off in qualifying - torrential rain, brake bias too far to the rear, too much speed and I made friends with Mr Tyrewall backwards at about 90mph.

Unfortunately it wouldn't quite polish out - but two rolls of gaffer tape and new rear suspension later and I was allowed to race

Tricks are interesting.

I bought a new car (Phil Keen's) over the winter and sold mine to Graham Walden, who has fitted it with a 4 litre Rover V8 and is racing it in the TVRCC Challenge.

Mine is now a rather fetching Subaru WRC Mica blue and received its engine this week. I bought a race AJP from TVR as they no longer do the lease deal.

My first race is at Castle Combe on 30 May. Hopefully we will get enough cars out to avoid the Tuscan Challenge race being cancelled. I am also entered in the two Special GT races so I will have those regardless.

I'm only doing a handful of races this year as I have a few other things to deal with - I got engaged in February and have a wedding to organise, I'm moving house and work is very busy.

I am very much looking forward to getting back in a Tuscan though
