Malc - You'd better keep away from trees in a thunder storm. I hope you haven't turned for good. Did you find any weaknesses in the car I might be able to take advantage of? I suppose not. I hope your just out there driving the P------- to collect info on how to beat them anyway. Very smart thinking. Now tell me did your cheque book increase in size while you were in it? The pictures are great I just can't help myself.

Hi Keith
Looking forward to the pictures. These tasters look great. Thanks for all the effort you put in, and to Lewis too.
Ross,
Looking out the window I think the trees are creeping closer.....Weaknesses, yeah the bloody engine keeps letting go! But you need to be about 12 hours in to your races to do a proper job of it!
Sorry to say that I saw no weaknesses in the car that will help you. Overall the car is very easy to drive quickly compared to my 40 but then one is set up as a road car for track use and the other left the factory as a race car! Bit obvious really when you think about it that way. To get my 40 to that level would need quite a bit of re-engineering of quite a lot of stuff. It therefore becomes cheaper for me to buy a seat with sponsors help and also I don't have to put the huge amount of time and effort in to get the car ready.
But for next year I cannot be in this car. It has been sold! However new plans are already afoot.....
