Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Sterling does annoy me. He claims to be so active at his age but you only ever see him sat down. :D

I'll try to make Donnington. Nice car there sir, and would be nice to see it at Donnington - it's shaping up to be a respectable meet :D Thankyou. Hopefully as time passes, it will get even nicer. :D I'm definitely going to try to get to Donnington. The weather could be an important factor though. ...

Thanks for the info guys. :D

Gary, I was kidding with the Scooby comment.

I don't see anything wrong with modding them. It was Sunbeam themselves that set the precedent in the first place really.
I doubt it will be something I'll do. Not in the foreseeable future anyway.

It's an interesting point you make Gary.
All you have to do now is change the body and you'll have a Scooby. :D

Hi Harry, thanks for the info. I've heard good thiings about Proxes in the past so I'll have a look. Thanks for the oil suggestions too. I presume the issue with synth is it's habit to seeks out leaks and clear the gunk that's filling those little holes. Note in diary. Water cooling additives suck. ...

Hi Michael, it has 14" wheels on it so I'll have to see what is available.

It's a good idea about getting some sticky tyres due to low mileage.
There's nothing worse that binning practically perfect rubber due to it's age.

Thankyou. White wasn't on my shopping list at first, but it grew on me a lot after seeing the Lemans pics.

Thanks B.

I'll try to make Donnington if I can.
It will be pretty poor if I don't as I can hear the cars racing there sometimes if the wind is in the right direction.

As far as me racing.......I doubt it.
It would end up sprayed across the infield lol.
