Managed not to crash this year. I have some in-car footage to edit together but here's a short video of my car a full chat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCzghJbgodY

Got it RR tuned the day before. The guy (Pete Lander of Sigma Engineering) did a great job and liberated 30BHP at the top end by going down a choke size - what a star. The engine absolutely zings now - utterly superb - as I think you can hear from the video...

Yeah the wiggle at the esses is good.

Castle Combe is a great track. Watch out for the newly cut grass on the first corner as back in the day, this is where I overtook a young lady on the inside then she pushed me into the grass then of course I spun and all the grass ended up in the cockpit of the Formula Ford.

I hope not to do the same with my Coupe! One day will take it to the tracks, one day...
