Any of you lot coming to this?

I shall be gracing the passenger seat of a mates Stratos. Vrrrrrrroooom  ;D

Would it be a Hawk version?  which powerplant did your mate opt for? 

Peter, Bird is a girl (obviously) so she's not likely to know the answers to questions like that.  ;)

Shut up right.  >:(

(He's not replied to my email yet, I will sound much more knowledgable shortly, please hold)

 ;D

The Stratos replica is a good kit car to have, many years ago I did think about building one myself, so would be interested to see more about Bird's chums' car, is the ' use correct?    I do have a spare Ferrari 308 engine/gearbox, always looking for a good home for it ;)

The Hawk version is very accurate and Jerry Hawkridge supplies parts to owners of original cars, the body parts are that good.

I seem to remember a chap something Foreman who built a very nice lime green road going version, got hooked, built a Ferrari p4 replica, liked it so much he still makes them?  Corrections awaited!!

Sadly no prize for you this time FS, but you were close!

Bird's chum's car = the car of the chum of Bird

Bird's chums' car = the car of the chums of Bird.

Unless of course it is a syndicate of the chums of Bird who share the ownership of the car - in which case you would be correct!

I can't correct you on the more technical aspects of your post, so will leave that to someone else.  ;D

Neil.  Legend has it that he bought a secondhand Ferrari, just to find a V12 motor, which wouldn't fit the P4 replica.  So he took a hacksaw to it.  It fits now.  They're like that in Kent.

This is my new knowledge:

No, it is NOT A HAWK!

It is the other one :-)

The car is a CAE (Carson Automotive Engineering) Corse i, with a 3.0 12v Alfa V6 from and Alfa 164.

(which I obviously knew before but was keeping to myself. Erm.)  ;D

i know the car and Mr Carson, does he still have his Ferrari 308 V8 version or has that now moved to pastures new?

BTW Fran, I new that all the time ;), any doubts about grammar, spelling and punctuation, look out for a book called "Eats shoots and leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation by Lynne Truss , very good and very funny.  The Times newspaper had it as a freebie CD a few weeks ago.

From Tim:

That car was a 'sister' to my car. They were both worked on in the same way by the same people.
It had a Ferrari 308 V8 engine in dark blue. Even had the same Fiat Barchetta mirrors.

The car was sold to Japan almost 8 years ago.

You guys need to meet I think. I must convince Tim he needs to come to LM next year.

I purchased this book but only managed to get through a couple of chapters before the overwhelming urge to hunt Lynne Truss down and shove this book very far up her arse became uncontrollable and I had to stop reading.

So did anyone come down?

Great day, perfect weather and lots of wicked cars.

I particularly liked this:

From the toniq website:

Early October and the team has been delighted at the rave reviews from the motoring and specialist press. The FireBlade Toniq R has been in action at Snetterton, Donington, Marham and Brands Hatch, as well as countless hours at Honington. Now a ‘four and a half’ star EVO rated car, the Toniq R has drawn wide praise:

Marham? When did it do Marham? Does MGMark know or was there a little publised security breach?

2nd of Sept as the website said.

I understand that it was there, but I wasn't :(  Domestic harmony would have suffered to an unbearable degree, as that weekend fell between returning from hols and going racing.  As I have now moved from Marham to the smoke :( , the precedent I set with the first two track day weekends has been continued by others there who have taken over the organisation, hence one running there without me.  And a fine job they did too, with an Enzo, a couple of Murcielagos and a Carrera GT amongst the usual nice mix of other stuff.

But no "A" s or Midgets?

They might have told us! :(

Now you need to organise things a bit better MG Mark - holidays are designed to so that you can go racing.  Florida in March, France in June, Belgium in July etc. etc.  Trying to figure out now how I can persuade Mr Termite that we can afford a holiday in Oz next October...

What can I say  :-[  You are right.   It would also help if work was designed to allow me to go racing as well.   I shall make sure that I am around for the next one, being planned for April 07.   As to persuading Mr T, surely operating on the Nike principle - just do it  - would work i.e. make non-refundable bookings and then tell him what is happening?  Particularly if it coincides with being a Christmas present.....

Mmm.. food for thought, and it's his birthday next month.  Where's that website....?
