The timesheets might tell you I had an off day today. Catching a cold, burning out a motor or losing a round to a pinion with a stripped grub screw might also lead you to think this. But that’s not the whole…
Brass Effing Monkeys in Weston-super-Mare today. But cocooned in my Team 80 Fleece, it was worth it for the points. I suspected that there would be a frost or very heavy dew again in the morning, and given how cold it was,…
The Mardave Minis at Bristol looked so much fun, that I decided to get myself one and have a go. For a car that’s so brutally simple, it’s incredible how well they drive. Set just the rear ride height and dab on…
My original plans for this weekend got knocked into a cocked hat when Marlies’ Clutch went on Saturday Morning. But seeing as I had an entry for Swindon, and she didn’t need my car today, I managed to rescue some track time…
