GTE racer needed for the Ally Pally show

[cnhss1]

The club is looking for a GTE racer (Mod/Super Mod/comp) to show at the Alexandra Palace show Feb 23-25th. Anyone out there got a car free those dates?

[ben.gough]

Mine might be back together for 2008...

[cnhss1]

at this rate Ben, i reckon mines gonna be ready about the same time.

[turbster]

Long way away but could see if I could get mine there if desperate...

[Nick_F]

Pretty sure mine won't have been painted by then - but I'll have a clearer idea later in the week.

Might be worth a pm to johnnymaestro - not sure where he's based though.

Hi Ben

[cnhss1]

Phil Howard is the man to contact re the show.

arent we just typical compies? none of us, with the exception of Paul who had his fair share of work last winter, have a car in one piece. Ive got 6 months work to do to be ready for aintree.
Any one know where i can hire a time machine?

[Nick_F]

It's rubbish, really - I reckon the bloke who wins the Championship is the bloke who can be arsed to get out of bed in January so he's actually got a car to compete in in April...

Rules me out, that's for sure

[cnhss1]

worked for me last year tee hee
not gonna work this year, so many 'little' jobs that are just taking soooo long, also missus is diverting extra (?!) cash for wedding fund :-(

[johnnymaestro]

Hi Guys,

Yes my car is available for the show if you want to use it. It will need a polish.

The car is based in Reading, so not that far away atall.

Please pm me with your thoughts.

Thanks,

johnnym.

Hi Johnny, i beleive it may be sorted now, but i will contact Phil Howard and get him to contact you if he needs a car still.

[cnhss1]

Johnny

Cheers

Hi Nick,

How's that crunched front end coming along, I guess if your talking about paint, then the fibre glass work is done? As you may have heard, mine's in the process of getting a new shell. It will be out at some point this year...

Hi Ben,

Car's with Mike Thompson being glued back together at the moment - with a following wind it'll be finished this week and painted in the next fortnight or so.

The clutch was slipping on the way back from Gurston, but it hasn't done so since so I'm crossing fingers that it was a hydraulic issue - otherwise there are not many jobs to do, for once, chiefly because I need to keep the cash to one side for the new engine, which is now firmly on the drawing board and will hopefully make an appearance in the summer.

If the white shell is going to be scrapped is there any chance I could get my hands on the wheelarches from it?

[ben.gough]

Sorry Nick, the wheel arches will be in a land-fill sight near Tamworth by now...

[cnhss1]

ironic that they have ended up near tamworth eh? ashes to ashes, dust to dust and all that....

[Nick_F]

By the time Ben had finished with them I doubt that there was much original Tamworth content left...so perhaps less of a 'homecoming' than you might expect.
