A good Sunday lunch out!

Post by doulou »

As the night's start to draw in we've decided to change our monthly mid week meets in favour of a Sunday lunch meet. The venue will remain the same, so it's hardly your traditional Sunday roast, but the guys at the Essence of India have promised us special treatment. We will be meeting on Sunday the 26th of October where we hope to attract some more people from the forum.

Special thanks to Phil "Tanz" for posting the pictures of Mike and Cathy's son Daniel, oh and of course Marks Dream machine.

I will post more details nearer the time but please drop me a line if anyone would like to come

Best regards

Paul

Just come back and I am catching up on the forum and I see this....

Wooooooooo Mark! Bad times! :shock: :shock: :shock:

I really feel for you, that must be gutting. Your welder deserves a drink or two off you I reckon...

How long was the car running before you crashed? Thought you were still building it? Good choice putting that seat in! I was trying to see what you hit from the video - those tears in the chassis members and the angle that drive shaft is bent back suggests it was something very hard! I reckon some new CV's will be needed on that one at the least :(

Anyway, glad you are ok. Perhaps you should lend your modded Excel to me for safe keeping?

Bad luck but more importantly glad you are ok. That roll cage was the best buy you've ever had tho !!!

Ps, on a lighter note tho, you will never be a racing driver if you admit it was your fault !!
