For us it's about going and having fun - we know we're not going to win but we go to put in the best performance we can. It's as much about tinkering with the car and having a laugh with your mates as anything else. There's nothing quite like hooning about in a car that you've got some attachment to.

You're welcome I bung the updates on as and when I get a chance when we're competing just in case anyone's interested.

I didn't realise you'd had a layoff for a while - what forced the rebuild? Have you upgraded the car as part of the rebuild? It's always seemed to be a reliable car from the events I've seen it on. 1st in class by that margin is a great result, you must be chuffed with that.
