Re: Good bodyshop in/near birmingham...?
Not sure if it's too far south for you but I have used Custom Body Repair just outside Worcester for my race car for the last couple of years and he has also done excellent work on my pearlescent VW Passat daily driver.

Re: MR2 Championship - final round - Mallory Park Sun 17th Oct
Hi Tim, sorry I didn't see you. Despit being last race of the day, we actually ran pretty much on time in the end - despite that big delay at the end of the first race. It was a pretty eventful race - I think the lead changed twice and 3rd place was hotly contested by Zac Chapman, Andrei Bgatov and ...

Re: 3 Mk1's on one drive
You think that's bad - Google street view shows three silver mk3s parked outside my house. I don't even remember owning one of them!! And I can't figure out which one it is because they've blurred the number plate... #-o They're thoughtful like that - they blur car number plates but shoot over your...

Re: Starting racing when older?
I lined up on the grid for my first race on the weekend before my 51st birthday. Eyesight problems prevented me from starting racing earlier in life as I could not get a race-license. The longer you leave it, the more you'll regret not having done it earlier.... but the richer you'll be. And your re...
