Ops naughty naughty! Mark Fowler was building one complete with Ric Wood engine but has abandoned the project and sold it all off. Don't know about a 2nd one.

Simon Did you sell it to a skinny fella with glasses? Alistair Lightfoot certainly owned it for a long time and then sold it to Simon Norris around 6 years ago. It's been rebuilt and has been waiting for a big power Evo engine for around 3 years. |

Hi Ashley, good to meet you to, yeah things didn't go quite to plan at Cadwell, still it was good to be out again after so long.
Hopefully be out later in the year, got most of the bits I need now, just got to nail it all together. Have got many hours of video so will find some good bits with Brian in. |

Yes that's the one. An old work mate used to have one. What a car it was either breaking down or bits were falling it off it. I was talking about my mate's car not Frank's |

The last time I saw that was probably 1984 or '85 in the Duckams series, when David Shead's Mk1 RS3100, Roger Newbould's Lotus Cortina and Derek Wileman's Mk3 3 3.0 were generally the cars to beat!!! |

Does anyone remember a youngish guy (I think his name was Don Shead) who raced a Capri in the early/mid '80s who used to be quite successful and would do things like have his hair cut on the grid?
I know a bit of a rough link but remember watching him but can't remember his name!!! |

Crikey, we're having fun remembering some of these old names! Just about remember Chamber's name. Of coursde the two Firenza's of Trevor Griffiths and Rob Walker (think Rob or a relative posts on here?) were frontrunners or how about the Rice brothers (John and ?) who pedalled Dolly Sprints, and there was a couple of quick 1275GT Minis too, can't recall their names off top of my head... Quick get me' anorak!! Quote:
David's Capri was a fine car, usually quickest machine in the Duckhams days. Grids were massive and diverse as hell! |

The only link I can think of was that there was a Shead that raced a Lister Jaguar in the early to mid '80s - maybe David's father? I remember him being a young guy. |

I used to race against David Shead in the Blue Capri in my old Sunbeam Lotus back then, he had blue matching hair, his girlfriend also used to have the same hair colour and bikini and often be drapped over the car I raced against him at Brands in 1986 in the Bristol Street Motors Roadsaloon Car Trophy Race, and had my first ever win there and ride on the popemobile :'0)
I also raced with him in Prod saloons in my Peugeot, he had a red Saphirre Cossie and his Team wore Top Hat and tails as overalls Last edited by joss Ronchetti; 21 Jan 2011 at 22:46. |
