Got Me A New Toy .......

Off to Durham for a few days. Mrs CB ran me into the station in her MX-5 - quite fun really. Thankfully I wore a disguise so no one would recognise me, so no harm done to my manly reputation...

Edit: I’ll save you the effort - “what manly reputation?!?”

 

Doesn’t it have two speed and two heat settings?

 

My mates got an MX-5 for sale. Not the original engine, had a ford Scorpio V6 fitted!!! Reputedly putting out close to 300bhp!!! He's got 4 of them currently, so this one needs a new home.

You fancy it @Dozers Dad ???

 

That is quite laughable really !!! 2.9 V6 and only 192bhp
Can only tell you what I was told, but can't image it too difficult to get 300bhp from that lump

 

I'm lucky if I get 20mpg from mine !!!

 

Yeah but look at the weight it carries

 

That's it 2019 season over.

In numbers ;-

2 - Targa Rallies,
3 - Tar Autotests,
6 - 12 Car Navigation Rallies,
7 - Grass Autotests.

We have won the semi-expert 12 Car title with 3 wins in class (novice winners last year).

1 Tar test class win.

Grace finished 2nd in ladies championship and 7th overall in the club championship.

I got 4th overall in the club championship. Quite pleased with that for my first full year competing in the Mini. Missed out on 3rd place by 4 points (102 to 106 points), but gives me a goal for next year.

Thanks for all the encouragement over the year, and 2020 season starts in February. Just need to get the Mini fixed by then ( power steering pump, again).

 

Got me a Motorsport Licence

(Only temporary because MSUK (was called MSA), are a bit feckin useless)

 

Nice wee haul at tonight's awards. Wee cup for class win at a tar test, big trophy and glass for semi-expert 12 car championship and the best one is the smaller cup - got it for top Marshall in the club, elected by chief Marshall for our work this year.

At dinner dance now, pissed
