You're on the list mate(s).

I didn't bump into you guys at Pacific Works recently did I? Swapping a set of wheels & suspension over?

You did actually, yes. Now that I look at your signature, I remember your car. Think you were on the lookout for wheels as all yours had seen better days? And there was a funny noise coming from the engine bay?

Spot on! Yes, none of my wheels are round at the moment, which is a tad problematic. Next week I'm collecting some freshly refurbed Enkeis to sort that out. The noise turned out to be a deceased BOV so that's sorted already. :)

Just realised what track that is, it's the old Longcross proving ground - Been there!
By the way, how did you manage that??
Was a photoshoot for Japanese Performance Magazine, way back in June 2010 - No idea about getting permission, was all arranged by the mag.

Shame.. Would love a run round there in the '2. Been round it a couple of times in a rally car (mk2 escort) but only from the navigator seat.

Good news Laura, hope you're well? Be good to catch up again.

I think you've made it clear, but for avoidance of doubt, is Dave coming in yours or will he be running the Turbo?

I'm going to call Charlie at SRR and ask about the price. I'm guessing it couldn't hurt the quest for numbers if we got the cost down!

Dave will be with Laura in her '2 and requests an early slot on rollers if possible

Cheers Tom - assumed as much and the main list now reflect it.

They're up first in that case, I don't have anyone else making dibs.

For preference I'd rather run the monsters last to give everyone something to look forward to (I'll put myself up right after Laura & Dave!).
