Watching A Racing Car is Born today on Discovery and Rob Farley (RobMsport) appears.....miss-titled Robert Varley ! Talked very well on the subject of the SSC Stylus...

SSC Stylus - that used to be a lovely car that you could actually buy! Damn the MX5!!

I'm surprised Rob hasn't commented....

OK Jeff , I'll comment then --- it's been there since 2000 , a very old video at Bruntingthorpe when Pat Jackson ran a trackday there . Thunder sportscars race driver was there in his 700bhp Cobra (he followed me around the track for a while then I followed him obviously) along with a crowd of Jeremy Phillips designed cars too. John Smith's V8 Fury , a well known on here Cosy Fury plus his Dad's Stylus , possibly David Cockburn's car too (can't be certain)
I'd just unloaded and put the eze-up in position when Mark (the vet -- the car builder etc etc) strolled up and asked could he interview me or rather could I tell him a little about the car. It was raining , so I thought yes it'll only take 5 minutes according to him . HOWEVER ----- nearly an hour later we had finished what seemed a huge amount of questions , looking/filming the inside and under bonnet of the Stylus --- and as it had stopped raining -- lost 40 minutes tracktime
He actually promised a full video would be sent which I never did receive , even after phoning him so not a great experience really. I thought I was the only person to ever see it but of course TV repeats are so common now plus regular

Just remembered who had the Cosy Fury -- Ruary plus Dad
