Make sure you have the camera on, we all like to see Iain struggling to stay in front! If you could grab the beam that would be great, I’m often at Brands so could grab it off you if that’s ok
So how did Friday go then Mr House?
Seen that there were 3 from team stonky and only 1 ended the day running...

Friday went well until I destroyed 4th coming onto the start finish straight chasing Iain, managed a total of 20 laps!!
It appears my ability to not break gearboxes has run out of talent!!
Never mind, it's kicked my butt into action cos I'm not removing the box on the drive, I'm bored of doing that and I'm getting old and can't be arsed crawling around under a car anymore!!
I'm looking at a unit Monday, as soon as that's confirmed I'll order a ramp and get that installed then get the engine and box out and Iain has an old F20 we're gonna throw in, carry on abusing the car for a bit, toyed with the idea of an SCCR but I've got a little something special planned for the new shell and don't wanna punt £2,500 at this car.
New one is maybe 4-5 weeks from being finished so I'll get that in the unit and start mocking that up and getting it sorted. At present the only things I need out of the current car are the throttle bodies, ECU and brakes but who knows I might get sentimental and keep the current car as a backup stick it on some ATE's or back on the hi-specs and just buy another set of Jenvey bodies. I'd like to keep the current car running aslong as possible, don't want to fall into the trap of having a car in progress and forgetting what it feels like to do track days. We'll see.
Also retiring our VW Caddy from work to become a dedicated track tow van, tools and everything in it permanently cos I'm bored of loading and unloading the Passat. Should mean I can literally turn up to the unit, get in the Caddy and go, no worrying if I've got everything or not!!
That was a bit of a long explanation!!!! Sorry mate!!!

Shame about yesterday, I have got some compbrake 4 pots you can use if you want to keep the old shell going. The unit and Caddy sound like good ideas, it really does my nut having to keep loading and unloading the van prior to an event
In-depth reply, good work! Lol.
Sounds like an awesome plan, shame your so far away, I'd be calling in to borrow them ramps. Lol
