It's been so long since I've driven her, I'd almost given up. But I popped down to the workshops today and she's coming together again - this time even lighter and stiffer

Yeah - it's a dark very metallic blue with a hint of indigo - hard to see under the fluorescent lights though... I just thought what the hell - in for a penny, in for a pound!

Look forward to it matey - your torque vs my revs. Mind you, if you build your engine to the spec of Lucky B's 2L lump, I won't bother

Well the torque should be sorted once he fits the TB's anyway.

I've got something special for the dash - but all will be revealed later.

Hi Matt - how's things? I'll hopefully be bringing the car south early in the summer, so when I do you're more than welcome to come along for a spin. Yes I will have two seats in there!

It'll be used for some track and also occasional fast road blats as it's (ahem..) road legal. It's the same 1.6 lump that I had when I bought the car - but I've managed to wring 214bhp out of it and there's a bit more to come this summer...
