The first event the car will be at next year is The Brean Stages at Brean Leisure Park near Weston Super Mare at the end of January, as long as the entry is accepted as they've had loads of entries so far!

Very easy to connect the hydraulic handbrake, as we were running the brake line down the centre tunnel and the handbrake just sits in the middle really!

Wish it was as quick as Weavers old car!!
