Come on all you F1 wanabe's, good car, kit, transporter, spares..the lot !!!! Got to be worth the money being asked...what an opportunity

The tyre was sponsored by Dave Wood of the "Swinton Car Project" after discudions between our own Kay Blackburn and NFR. They have their fingers in a few oval pies and are backed by other organisations such as the Forestry Commision. It's by virtue of the projects help that Kirsten is racing a V8 at Skeg and (probably) NIR next week.

Even the usually pesemistic WEATHER.CO.UK SITE is showing an upturn....fingers crossed.

No worries Kay, just hope he makes the cut.

That's bad news, must be a lot to do. I've seen Dave practically rebuild his car between heat and cons before now. Hope it's just time and not a big bucks repair. Mike

Dougie, at the end of the day and even if you don't get this off the ground again you (and the others involved) have still managed to get 2 dedicated programmes on terestrial TV. I've been a fan since 1979 and this is the 1st time this has been achieved so well done and good luck with your attempts to get us on again. Mike
