Hey Randy, you should note these photo's were taken in your new county of Wales. It's a beautiful and magical place when the sun's out (not often!) but look at that weather and you can see just why the Pruetts left to go live in sunny Florida!

Thanks for the good wishes all - it has been a good season indeed. Look forward to seeing those who can make it at events next year. For Randy, as Steve says it is a 2.5 litre turbo-diesel from a 1995 BMW 325tds, mid-mounted with a 4-speed ZF automatic gearbox as fitted to a Range Rover, modified with a high stall torque convertor (2000rpm) connected to a Milner reverse rotation, straight-cut transfer gearbox (no differential) in which the ratios can be changed. Engine drive kicks in at 2000rpm, which is when the turbo is starting to do its work (so no turbo lag) and it pulls all the way to 6000rpm with the autobox used as a manual shift only. Axles are from a Range Rover, with standard diffs and halfshafts, with the radius arms mountings modified to increase the castor angle for steering lock. Suspension is a mixture poly bush and rose joints, with Fox Pro reservoir shocks on all 4 corners (doubled at the rear). Chassis is a Matt Lee designed spaceframe. Steering is by racing rack and pinion, with electrically pumped power assistance. Vented discs all round, with twin master brake cylinders and a fiddle brake working on the rear wheels as well. Turbo running at 1-1.2 bar boost, water injection and on the last round we used Shell Racing diesel. All the best, MG Mark |

What CD player does it have? Smokie, I wish - It's a single track disc on permanent loop. The main title is "engine revs and straight cut gear scream" (pitch varies neatly to engine speed) and backing tracks of "buckets of stones", "underside scrape" and "splash". We haven't even got coffee cup holders. MG Mark |

Great to see fellow CA’ers Dan Lowe and Rick Cutler come up for the weekend to spectate and drink beer. We even managed to persuade Dan Lowe to be installed in my co-driver’s seat for one of the runs; mind you, he didn’t need much persuading the broad smile at the end of it spoke volumes  . and I was wearing that smile for days Thanks again for the opportunity to go round for a run it was amazing!! and Congratulations on the 8th overall championship position!! Can't wait to see the 3 litre in the back |
