'Slow' is certainly right. It's hard to believe it's coming up to 6 years since I crashed it.

But progress is happening;

Looks brilliant, when are you hoping to get this back on the track? I'd love to see it fly up a hill.

Hi Jezz.

it's a little baby C2 trailer, tows superbly and it's lightweight and wide. Came at a bargain price too (£800). All I need to sort out now is a decent winch for it, being such a short trailer it's tricky to locate it so it pulls in a straight line.

Thanks Nick.

I'm getting there, still have lots to finish off, and I keep uncovering issues (e.g. today I find the throttle pedal is not smooth, nor is it returning to base consistently).

I have loads of holiday due from work, so I plan to have a major attack on it soon, and aim for competing again in June.

Where do you normally compete? as I'm not a million miles from you and I'd love to get to some hill climb events.

Gurston Down is my local, and favourite venue - about 8 miles west of Salisbury.

Back on with fitting the CAE shifter;





Thinking about a rear spoiler, I fancy a Corsa Super 1600 one, but can't find one yet;



I've contacted Marcel and Fearless on this forum in the hope they can assist, but if anyone else knows where to find one, please let me know.
