Not seen it in ages, and now i go and see it twice in two days Its still lookin great Derek.

How light do you think you could realistically get the car? How much is there left to stip?
Glass for polycarb, and maybe some grp or carbon panels?

A lot of the old mounting brackets for seats etc the housing around the gearstick (things that are just spot welded on i will be removing). Polycarb windows yes possible a carbon or painted fibreglass bonnet. The list is endless but will be starting it all over the winter when i have more time

Thanks for the nice comment i do try to keep it clean but been out more on my bike lately

Tasty, that

Maybe firbreglass boot as well? One of those with a poly window will shed loads of weight, surely.

here we go

Cars run quicker at 'The' pod...... why.... the track is a purpose built, and prepped, surface. Crail is an old WWII airfiled, and concrete.

So..... its either of a few things. (even though i see cars run quicker at Santa Pod)

1. Scottish folk are just better.
2. Winds...
3. downhill
4. colder temps
5. English folk are fat.
