unfortunately not tut, i do not have the money or am i able to get the day off now as im off to london with business all of next week,

quite gutted, i really wanted to go aswell, i will just have to wait till the next chance - possible sept for the amp3 ? if there is still a space on payday i will go for sure.

the lotus needs new front brake pads - cooked/fired and now desintegrated, fluid needs replaced (we know i found that out the hard way!) also rear tyres are ropey after our trip, and the lambda sensor (post cat) is gone so i will just invest in an exhaust i think at the same time!!!

but on the plus side next time you see it i should have great tyres, with a car that stopps like sh*t and sounds good too!!

Thats the Caterham Mac.....its certainly good fun! We normally try to stick to just hills but do the odd sprint.

M1key - think I saw your car when i was down viewing mine, lovely car! They are a nightmare to keep clean though.

Clark - for sure we'll have to go for a run sometime soon. I'm busy this weekend however the first dry evening when you get back from london we can arrange. (Get Tav on the scene aswell) And perhaps anyone off SE's that fancies it??? A run up over the lecht or something......stopping off for some tea somewhere?

Just back from Fintray Hill Climb and seen you and your Dad competing (same name anyway).

Your certainly handy with that Caterham, nice to see a car getting pushed and well done.

Cheers
