New Stuff for 2008

b1ackcr0w · 2 Jan 2008, 08:27 (Ref:2097905)

So who's got new cars, engines, changed classes etc?

blackx · 2 Jan 2008, 14:14 (Ref:2098049)

I got a new car if that counts

b1ackcr0w · 2 Jan 2008, 21:50 (Ref:2098270)

That's the spirit Steve, however I was hoping for stuff bearing timing struts...

Suppose I can fit one if you want me to

Sorry......I'll leave now

I too am interested to know of any movers and shakers for the coming season

I've been removing bits from mine and will soon be adding a few bits to it.

Keep it to yourself though.

Will it have any more flashing lights ?

Er.......no.

But it should go round corners forwards rather than backwards.

So you will not be fitting a swivel bucket seat then?

But will it go faster round the corner at that angle, facing forward, I mean.

?????

Faster and safer is the plan.

Yeah, I heard Skoda Fabias have driver's airbag as standard.

Scottish Billy · 7 Jan 2008, 21:53 (Ref:2101478)

Has anybody got any real news?

Handy in case you crash into a wall or similar I expect

Unless you have the ignition switched off. But enough about how I introduced myself to my new girlfriend's colleagues by crashing my car into the building. As Mr Cater so rightly asks, is there no interesting stuff known about new machinery for this year?

Is Mr Groves/Ranson bringing out the Gould for another title defence?
Where has Mr Durling's Gould gone?
What lump is the Predator sporting?

Gossip please!!

Karl Davison, to be shared by Chris Merrick.

Basil Pitt will be sharing his Gould with Tom New.

Further questions looking for answers:

1. Has Chris Merrick sold his Gould and if so to whom?

2. Who has ordered the V8 engined single seater from DJ Racecars?

3. Will Deano be back in 2008?

4. Will there be a second OMS-Powertek V8 on the hills in 2008?

5. Has Jim Robinson sold his MP58?

b1ackcr0w · 8 Jan 2008, 22:30 (Ref:2102206)

Excellent questions, now all we need are answers ..

Just before xmas he hadn't

**Woolley** · 9 Jan 2008, 13:20 (Ref:2102562)

Nice to see him and Karl sharing again and in a car that's proven to be on a good pace. I'd expect him to take his usual 6 motnhs getting used to it and then start setting some good times around August. Karl's quite capable to, so the battle for numbers could hot up again this season.

Excellent to see Tom New getting seriously into the top class. Should be a challenger on past form.

b1ackcr0w · 9 Jan 2008, 22:59 (Ref:2103011)

Karl's seriously capable, the only thing he needs is more runs at outside the south west. I was surprised he only took the one win when he last shared with Chris.

The thread in Marshals about best memories nearly prompted me to reminisce about Karl's old car. Staging his GR37 with the 4l Judd was just such a big buzz.

Tom New not sharin with basil been told on another website reasons not confirmed

Pike · 20 Jan 2008, 19:37 (Ref:2110034)

If what I have heard is correct I dont think Chris Merrick will be sharing with Carl in Carl's car at least as Chris still has his Gould (or did have).

Several reasons were banded about at the BHC dinner but I dont think here is the place to air them...

Sufficed to say Tom (at last report anyway) isnt sharing with Basil..

The reason I was given wasn't that much of a hot potatoe! However I will follow Blackx's lead and not mention the why & wherefore as passed onto me.
