Good gods -- lots of horrible intersecting paths :o

The Hussey Striker (now back to 1600 VX car engine and road-going) is indeed looking forward to it. Got its first MOT for four years this morning, and immediately thereafter some road tax.
One or two teething issues with the revised configuration though -- nothing like getting the excuses in early ;)

Had a great time at the Borough 19 Sprint at the Lotus Test Track at Hethel today.
Came 7th overall and 2nd in class (to Pete Goulding!) but beat everything else this side of the single seaters.
Makes me top H-pattern gearbox car lol. I was really on it for the first time since all the work at TTS and the car was awesome. I beat Stephen Laing and Paul Bowden in my class as well as being faster than Chris & David Hussey in their very fast Striker, none of which happens very often to me. My fastest run was a 1min 33.31 secs.

Had a nice chat with ex-Lotus F1 driver Martin Donnelly who was competing in a S1 Elise with his son,
he was head and shoulders faster than the rest of the Lotus on Track guys...but I beat him by 5 secs.
Not often I'll be able to say I beat an F1 driver (OK I have 250BHP more and 200Kg less but hey.....a win is a win :))
