Aiden, I am taking my car to the sprint at Goodwood (but not competing) so you are welcome to try it for size etc. - I am also 6 foot and with large feet!! Some modifications were necessary and it's no issue at all now. I am thinking of selling it at present so if you are interested, get...

De Dion Bouton made a large number of early engines and sold them on to whoever wanted to buy them and they were fitted to a number of other cars. You could even buy a ‘Selfridge’ for Selfridges in London – they sold their own car in kit form…. You could go in each month and buy the next bit and...

Please add me to the list as well... Thanks, Dave

I have now received my AGM notice – but also can’t attend due to the short notice and other commitments. Could you please advise what proxy (or other arrangements) are in place to allow members to vote who cannot attend. Also, it looks like non GTD competition cars will be allowed to compete...

Paul, I must say I would be very disappointed if the GT40 track day was dropped – I think it has always been an excellent day for those who are not competing regularly. Not only is it a fun day out (on track) for those with little or no track experience but also the social side is great! For...

Roy, Are the tickets still available? If so I would be very interested. Dave

Roy, You have a pm.

Tony, If you (or anyone else) wants to bring something special to Brighton for the event but has concerns about parking, I can offer some covered spaces in the carpark under my office. Its about a mile from the front so let me know and I will send you a map.

Paul, As Frank has said, Im also confirmed as being in. This will be my first event so can't wait!

Having been out of circulation for a few days, this thread has certainly developed! I posted what I still believe to be the correct action –> if you have real safety concerns then you MUST say something. We could be talking about someone’s life here and that has to be a priority! I think...

In my view it is worth making a comment – it just might save someone from getting hurt. Let’s face it, its better to be sure than sorry after the event! No one will take exception if it’s a genuine safety concern. Its worth double checking everything – even rear clip catches!!

Re: Calling MDA Owners(poor souls) I regret to say that like Leethac, I experienced similar frustrations with some parts being considerably delayed or never arriving from MDA, even though I had checked that they were in stock before placing my order. Whilst I do appreciate that at times this is...

Brett, There is a place in Worthing called Pipecraft. They will do one off bends to your requirements. I think they charged me £25 to a bit of stainless steel with 2 bends in it. As the angles were very close together, they had to make it as 2 bits and then welded it up. It’s so good you can’t...

Dave, I would be very interested - but work commitments would dictate if I could make it. Please could you count me in (2 of us)- but I might have to back out when the date is known.

Volker, you have email...
