Yes it is - on our way to Crail raceway in 2005.

He beat you! Despite you getting the drop on him. Did you miss a gear?

He didn't - I'm in the Blue one.

yes I was trying to work that out, I knew you were in the blue one but it looked like green was first! Luckily I've just been invited to go back to Boots for a free eye test.

He didn't build it, but put his mark on it.
I've got loads of pics, plus several video clips of it in action. It wasn't quite as quick as mine up the strip as it's a manual, but has a high top speed.

A new Elderbrock carb, rear dampers and a different pair of exhaust tail pipes has doubled the price of this car upto (No kidding, just got off the phone to the guy)

£10k....offers over to be correct!

Not really interested in selling, showing or taking it along to meets, chap loves the car and has just advertised for to see if anyone bites at £10-20k!

One helluva Minor but one helluva price!

Well, that terminates my interest. Think I'll buy 2 Michael Jackson tickets instead - up on ebay at £25k ...

And he wants £7 postage too.

Not a bad profit from the £4.5k my friend got for it. All for the outlay of around £400. He'll never sell it at that, especially in this environment. I'm not averse to making a profit, but that is taking the proverbial.
