Amazing what's tucked away.

Just been out for a ride locally.....about 2 miles up the road I visited a WW1 airfield, the last remaining one......fantastic little place.

Anyway.....on the site is a small unit in which 3 seven type cars were being built.

One duratec ,one a V6 and the other a V8. Astonishing cars, the two v engines are their own design/castings. The v6 has been built to produce up to 600 hp.....didn't dare ask about the V8.

The quality of the builds was by far the best I have ever seen and if you like a carbon fix then this is the place !

The business is run by Russ Savory......RSPerformance.

Think this could be the place for future club meets...will speek to my AO...bet he knows it !

Can't believe it's only walking distance from my house....I'll be there Sunday......set breakfast in the mess looks too good to miss........worth the drive out for all members..REALLY!

Yep, the originator of the mental anniversary(?) Caterham Levantes, which were/are, IIRC done originally as V8's and then V6"s - weren't they one of the "two halves of a bike engine stuck together jobs?"

His RST V8 engine is something really quite special. If I won the lottery ....

Yep, there are You Tube clips of Russ's monster Caterham in action on airfields - possibly that one? Awesome piece of kit. Absolutely mental...
