    trying to get below 103dB for Spa track day

    Absolutely! I've used them for years after struggling with noise. The peace of mind, knowing I am definitely going to pass noise testing, is priceless!

    Streetable Eight Stack

    A point I like about the Weber look EFI v actual Webers, having run both, is that the carbs have to be choked down to work properly (on the road anyway) so your 48mm could actually be 10mm less, whereas the EFI doesn't need this, so WOT sees the full fat 48mm bore. I did a speed run at an RAF...

    How far into the build before paint?

    Because over here Pat, our very helpful IVA inspectors can decide that it fails due to something on the bodywork, maybe an edge not having a big enough radius (I kid you not) or, whatever is the flavour for that day. As you can imagine, if it's painted already, it is a little bit of a pain!

    You could still aim for the carrots and bits of coal though Malc?

    Ray Christopher and the GTD

    Loved the Sloc. That was my favourite section of the Manx classic. There are some very young looking people in those photos! ;)

    GT40 roadster

    The size of the anti-roll bar, it's miniscule! Coupled with the long lever arm, it wasn't doing much 'anti!' How times have changed.

    That trip was bloody good fun Mike! A real hoot! Unrepeatable now since the hotel burned down! This is my video of the third day, compiled for me by a very sarcastic teenager!

    Spitfire!

    It was realise a dream day yesterday as Tammy presented me with an all time bucket list high of flying a Spitfire. Despite days of teeming rain we had blue skies and fluffy white clouds with hardly any wind. Absolutely perfect. As chief photographer, Tammy’s ride was a Harvard T6 of similar...

    Goodwood on a Sunny day... HaHa!

    Lured by thoughts of “Goodwood on a sunny day” and the fact that obviously it would be a lovely day for the coronation….. we entered the BHMC sprint - to be met with lashing rain all day! I actually like driving in the wet, but this was something else. The line was dictated by driving around...

    transaxle tornado

    Close Mike! It was RAF Woodbridge at a Jaguar Speedtrial. It is a 2 mile runway and they had a radar speed trap at the end... which read 192 mph! I still say I was slowed down because of the weight of my passenger... just don't tell her I said so! ;) My engine is a 331 stroker BTW. Hope...

    Is Air Conditioning system necessary?

    I had the same thoughts when building mine.... it was a 60's racecar, it doesn't have AC! Luckily, I was talked into fitting it by a good friend, I am so glad he did! If you can keep the car in the cool before you get in and then keep driving you can do without AC. BUT... if you get stuck in...

    P1014 Noel Edmonds

    I remember having my car on display at the Goodwood Revival, Mr. Edmonds strolled up, spent some time looking over it and made some nice comments. I said, "But you have an original don't you?" to which he replied, "No longer.... divorce," and walked away with a wistful look on his face!
