Sorry guys - the car's still in bits and I'm having to work this weekend.

I'm going to be hard pushed getting it ready for the Forrestburn the following weekend unless I can get away from work on time next week.

Well, I've broken the Exige so has to be the gay car... :oops:

Puma might be a decent autotest car, Steve McQueen seemed to do OK with it in the advert :lol:

If the Puma has a decent handbrake it will be ideal :thumbsup

The event is in WH Malcom's yard, at the end of Mary St. Not sure of the post code.

Great day out :thumbsup Cheers to Dom and the SSCC marshalls and timekeepers 8)

Also thanks to jon for letting me use the caterham - was much much quicker towards the end of the day, getting to within 0.4 secs of the dodgy one which I consider a good result :mrgreen:

Good to see so many people coming down for a look as well - lets see those MOT failures next time :thumbsup

....did i ever tell you about the Evora and VX220 i used to own?

Echo the above, great day today (even as a spectator!). Big thanks to Dom for taking me out at the end in Jason's Caterham - nice masterclass in the art of the donut :thumbsup

Off to scour ebay for some cheap wheels to use for the next one...

Those ford ones I was using would probably fit on your puma Jamie :thumbsup

We could even paint them green for you :mrgreen:

First time Tomato had been at an autotest for about 12 months... and it was fun to be back at the salad bar! :D

Good to put some more faces to names - Campbell and Jamie. One step closer after today, eh Campbell? :thumbsup
