Even if I fancied it I wouldn't dare take it on. Body panels are NLA so not worth the risk.

Everything good thanks & touch wood cesil is still running strong.
And there was me thinking you were a changed man & taking your car on one of the most risky tracks.

Let us know if you are passing this area now you have all that time on your hands.

Small update, appreciate it isn't everyones cup of tea....but then again, is anything?

Euro trip was brilliant! 3 days at the Ring, some wonderful cars on show, then down to Switzerland and a flying visit to Italy.

2600 mile in 6 days although not much of that was done whilst at the Ring. It's the sort of trip where you're going to love or hate your car by the end of it. Temps were in the high 20's and low 30's...bombing along in an old Clio with air-con that is useless at the best of times, a red hot engine more or less in the car with you, open the car windows and it's hot air coming in, getting out doing a fairly good impression of looking as though you've been in a sauna,..all pretty good reasons to hate it.

Completely bonded with the car and all of its madness

..never once thought "get me out of this sodding thing" and never once dreaded the idea of getting back into it.

Anyhow, it's now in with Blueprint in Notts until early next week, then it's straight to a mates place in Derby for approx 3 days, it might look slightly different when it reappears from there
