Weather's dry up here, so the car becomes my daily till the weather turns. On the backshifts this week, so finish at midnight. A bit chilli by that time but a wee run at night is enjoyable! Work car park is empty at this time, so good for photos!

Now I wonder what sort of car was parked to my right before it drove away... small rain shower at a breakfast meet this morning. Nice to see you Mike C, Wirral group.

We did 3000 miles around Europe in June without a hitch and then a few hundred miles round the west coast of Scotland and broke a cycle wing bracket....found a great guy in Largs who remove the bracket and welded it and back on the road....Scottish roads full of potholes...

Met a nice chap today with an Eleven. He'd previously had a speedsport and a gt40 which he sadly lost in a garage fire.

Reminder that our monthly meeting is scheduled for Thursday 15th at The Falcon, Birmingham, Hatton, CV35 7HA from around 7.30pm. Also, there is one place available for the track day on the 23rd September. Check the track day forum for full details or speak to me at the meeting.

It has crossed ny mind...... CCTV though.... Would make a good video lol.

Am I the only one thinking donuts and noise in there.......not sure I could resist the temptation

Not really a blat, more like a bimble around in the dark this evening but still fun. Car a little reluctant to start so I’m glad I gave it a spin. Topped up with some Esso Supreme 99.

Have a great day gents @Big Andy and @Exitus

Very similar to my first Westfield. Mine was a black SE with red bench seats and proper clamshell wings.

If anyone wants two tickets to get into to spectate, get in touch with me. They are electronic so I can email them to you.

Unfortunatly not. First time i've seen it about. If I see it again I'll ask him.

Having dealt with damage claims myself when I was working with Openreach, it would be the original utility company that instigated the site works. No matter who was sub contracted to actually carry out the works, the utility who commissioned the work is responsible. Reason being is a large National Utility does not want negative publicity from the public or press and would settle the claim through their public liability insurance. A smaller claim would be dealt with by a local office. If no one takes on the claim then it's time to seek advice from Citizens Advice. One thing that might trip you up is if the workmen actually on site asked if you could move your car a suitable distance to avoid damage, whilst they working in close proximity.

Well we are back from our travels and was intending popping over tonight, but I’ve come down with something and feel yuck. Anyway, we are back and hope to catch up with people soon. Have a good evening. Ian & Ali.

I'm going.

Planning to go to this event, see you there!

Just received the autumn edition great feature thanks for including it!

The weather in Montana, USA is slowly shifting toward fall and my race season is starting to wind down. Due to family issues I’ve not done as many race days as I have in years past but I have no complaints. So far I have 13 days of racing (with 4 more on the schedule) and I’m proud to say that I’ve set FTD (Fast Time of Day) on all 13 days. The car has been working so very well and the suspension changes (custom homemade ARB in front combined with the Siltech +35 widetrack A arms) has made it much easier to drive at the limit - particularly in high speed ‘flick’ moves that used to unsettle the rear. The car is just plain easier to drive now and the easier it is to drive, the faster you can go. Two of these photos show the car being raced in Billings, Montana where the next fastest car was a full-race Lotus Elan. The event is run in a very large parking lot that has great grip but is a bit gritty and dusty. The 3rd photo was taken yesterday morning in Helena, Montana not long after sun rise. The air is smoky from the large wildfires hundreds of miles to the west in Idaho and Washington State. Behind my car is a full race supercharged Atom and a Winston Cup Car made to look like a Pontiac Fiero (full tube chassis, carbon panels, mid mounted LS V8, Porsche transaxle, 600 hp) that is a true ground pounder. When it launches you can feel the ground vibrate. Four more days of racing - wish me luck in getting a full 100% FTD rate! dave

As I simply can't compete with Gary's vistas, I parked the car yesterday in the shade and passing an upstairs window couldn't help but take this photo, not often do I get to see the car from above.

I can't make this one, I'm at Mallory Park for the Quick60
