Excellent, another 300Om that should mix up the tasmins a bit :-)

Parky motor is a nice car too... I need to get my finger out and sort topless out...There is a possibility I've found enough drivers to run it most of the season!!!

put your self on the wiki above


Welcome aboard.

Hi Nick, Cadwell will be my first outing in Class C as well. I'm driving Tasmin #21.

Looking forward to it so much, haven't driven the car yet but should be out at Croft next Friday to see how we get on together.

Well done Nick, be nice to see another M on the grid to mix it with the Tasmins. Out of interest, did you finish up buying the other 15" wheels off Geoff?

Nice to see new people joining in, esp in older cars, as its nice to see a good range of TVR's on the grid.
Hopefully if all goes well I'll be there in my 4.0 FHC Tasmin. I'll be in class B though.

Compomotive or Image. I need another set and will be measuring offsets this weekend to order next week - not sure if I want to go split rim or just some mini-lites. I have tow sets of wheels but a 3rd set will let me get more use from my tyres. Are you on 15s??
