Yup, it's all about driving on the top of the rut in the middle and on the edge
Found out this evening Fake isn't watertight... did have the headlights underwater at one point again. Must think about waterproofing intake and exhaust soon. Was ok until Nick pointed out my freshly aquired green books were about to get wet! Luckily he rescued them though!

Cheely g*t I've still not done any Nat B stuff, but me Jason and Aleks have been messing about in the WMC's club events since september, so far I've come home with 2nd, DNF, 4th and 2nd. Jason has been doing superbly too considering the amount he's done before, although managed to get stuck and had to be dragged out last time
I think both Aleks and Jason are out on the Carpet Bagger in Jan, I'm still waiting until I have another car working before I do anything serious in Fake.

Ah, the Bagger-even oop north we have heard of this-obviously it was by pigeon as me flat cap and wippet were otherwise engaged-has an excellent rep.
Being bone idle and having some canny roads on the doorstep means it's unlikely I'll ever attempt it

Yeah, Preston is pretty damn legendary down here... it was what I was aiming to get the car ready for, but guessing I'll miss it this year. See how it goes!

I'm tempted to try a club event in the T5 in the new year. Just because it'll be amusing fighting the understeery, over-powered box round the lanes!

I will do in the new year, thing is I need a second car to do it, I need mine too much! I'm looking forward to getting involved tbh, although I am getting fed up of the underpoweredness of the 1.7, along with the less than fun rolling, but I have a plan for that too As soon as I've got Fake more reliable again(which it was until a month or so ago) and got a guard on it, I'll enter a Nat B, my nav has a couple of clubmans under his belt, so straight onto a B should be ok 
Carl, if I don't have the turbo running soon, i.e. before Fakes MOT, I am damn tempted for Fioner, I've been thinking it over for the last week or so. Well, that or a 16V laguna/megane/clio type thing anyway.
