Ok didn't realise there was as much interest as this! Thought it was pretty much Jim and Arsie my one man support club Not many threads seem to move at the moment but as long as I'm not talking to myself I'm happy to carry on updating.

Will stick up a 2017 thread soon then. The main bit of excitement will be the sequential box. Think I will post up a bit more technical stuff.

Mantecosa, will drop you a PM. Wider track has been occupying my thoughts... hmmmm

You've got a much bigger support club than you think

I read it with interest too. Its so refreshing to see someone actually doing it and doing well rather than just talking about it.

Your sequential gearbox will fade into insignificance when we announce you as part of the secret race car project early next year!

(I passed on the G50 GT4 car, felt a little bit too leggy for the price).

Didn't realise the G50 had actually escaped & thought everything was G40 these days.

Seems a logical move if you're into racing & stuff. As Eric Idle asked, "what's it like?".

They are up to the G55 now. G50's are good value for money, but the running costs do escalate somewhat.

Yes, we have a few things to do to it over the winter, though we have stopped short of replacing all the panels and hardtop with fibre glass equivalents.
