I've been attacking Devon in the map-reading seat of the 205 again, with 2nd, DNF and 6th on the last three events.

Carl's been hiding (Are you going to come out on any Wessex events this season Carl?)

I navved Chris_C to his first club-level class win 3 weeks ago, he then proved how good my training is by doing the same again last week with his regular nav ;)

Carl's been getting raped by a new mortgage and other related house stuff meaning he's had no time/money to spend on cars!!

However things are easing off now, and one of the BXs has been sold (for a fat profit), just gotta get the other one back on the road and then the 360 will be coming off the road for some work. Might even get to do an event or 2 this year!!

Good luck for tomorrow!

Well the last Wessex event is next week isn't it? So that's probably a no :( Should be out for the summer scatter at least though, whenever that is.

Nope, there's going to be one after easter to take the place of the one that got snowed off, so you've got two more chances, plus the summer scatter.

Find your nearest motorclub-there will be a MSA website with a list if you google-join ask the questions- get a licence-do events.

No mods to car necessary really apart from couple of cheap safety related issues.
Do summit if ya like it then ya can spend on other mods to car.
