There are already a couple of supercharged Vantages in the states that ESX has done but they had some problems with their package and didn't really finish it right. I know exactly who is doing your mate's car, we work pretty closely with them but I can't say more than that for the next couple of weeks.

Spit is looking alright - still needs some MSA approved belts but I'm thinking of taking it for it's first trackday at Castle Combe on the 6th of June. They have a sort of 'action day' where you can buy 15 minute track passes for £30.00 which suits me better. I don't want to drop £200 and then feel like I have to get my money's worth and kill the car (after all it is pretty standard - mildly warmed on an suspension sorted but totally stock brakes etc.)
Mate did check on the ESX one - but cost was nuts - he is getting a great deal from the company you know anout as the trial car for it, an getting the big bore exhaust sports cat, trick nitrons etc!!!

He should get it in next week or so (no rush as getting over bust wrist and shoulder from MBKing!!).

TSCC at Combe looks like a low entry from Chris's Forum (All Trimuph Race at Mallory hitting it hard).

Take care in the Spit

Drop me a PM (I'll mail you back) Nick would like to chat Astons with you.
