Bit of an end of an Era today. With a B7 on order with Mr.Finch , this will be the last time I’ll run the B6.4d on Carpet. It’s not going in the bin or being sold. But it is going into…
I haven’t got around to writing up the last round of SWORD yet. Suffice it to say that I’d kind of lost my way with the b6.4d. I’d been playing around with some settings and confusing myself a bit. Not to mention,…
Sometimes a win doesn’t mean you crossed the line in first place. Looking at today from that angle, means I can claim a couple of wins today. B74.2d I set the ride height this morning and didn’t have to touch it again…
Grumpph! Armed with my new shell curtesy of Phat Bodies, the car at least looked good. Sadly the handling was all over the shop all night. Added an extra 2 degrees of caster, tweaked as much as I could on the rear…

As there was no Bristol Mini Racing, and nothin doing at my usual haunts, I managed to get a 4wd entry up at Caldicot. I’ve been meaning to take a trip up there for many months, and with the Cardiff Cobra season…
Sorry about not updating for the last few meetings. I’ve been doing meetings with two cars which has been a lot to keep up with. A 6.30am start, Ugh! But worth it to support a Testimonial meeting for Craig Fearnly by proxy…
