Thanks for the help with the attachment advice.
Thanks for the picture. When you and I were young, Maggie.

I think this day out was his very first day with the car, IIRC it had no stickers/sponsors. But it was a long time ago.

It was a genuine period ECU as fitted by Lotus in 1959.

Great to see you guys in good health. I've been attempting to transfer VHS stuff to DVD and one of the events filmed (actually Kev did most of it on that occasion) was a June 2000 meeting at Lydden, and what should pop up a couple of times but a purple Anglebox.

I shall look forward to seeing those John, every time I meet up with Gordon I pester him about getting the Anglia back on track.
Sad day today as its anniversary of the Escort being stolen.I remember the sinking feeling I had coming into the yard and noticing vans and trailers moved around not how I had left them. I still hang on on in hope. My two mates Peter and Paul came by to cheer me up." well I think they were after their breakfast "

Actually this is one of my favourite pictures from my past amongst the track action ones.

Sad day for me at Brands yesterday - the test was just to be sure everything worked before the car goes on sale as it's been unused for some time while we waited for a new HTP. I'd forgotten how brilliant it was to drive, which will make it all the harder to part with. Had some great times with that car

Brodie came by for a cuppa today .He has had three anonymous phone calls and the police have been investigating . There was a Sierra Cosworth stolen a couple of years back from our area and this car has surfaced . Still hope .

Since it's the revised and cancelled Scramble (now on for Mid October) I think I'll take the MG out for a run.

On a serious note, there are massive fires all around our area in Mojacar. The last time about 10 years ago a lot of people were evacuated and had to sleep on the beach. The problem is that it's tinder dry down there at the moment with strong winds. Several friends have posted pictures on the Mojacar forum tonight but communications are not the best as probably some of the lines and towers are damaged. We were lucky where our place is the last time however it's a bit of a worry. This is a picture from tonight (Sunday)
