Cheers for the vid Dave, it's nice to see the layout of the circuit :grin: . Nice smooth driving. Don't suppose you have any footage of our car. Nice chatting to you and Al says sorry for missing you when you left. See you at Brands :thumb:

Why not have tabs welded on with brace bars and split pins?

Surely its a done, dusted method mate?

I do have some of Mr Fords finest.

What I'll do is upload it onto you tube for your delectation.

Not got any of Al's offroading though :lol:

spot on - that is exactly what I am going to do. There is no way these fekkers are ruining another day.... and there is no way I am turning down the boost :D

Car was fantastic apart from that - building speed nicely and qualifying was within grasp. Bollocking from Race control did not help me get it sorted and back out on track though :lol:

At the moment Al is driving Mr fords finest. As it's the only Ford in the TA.

Some blond girl was asking a lot of questions about the car and who drives it, saying that she had seen it about including at Trax last year :o

Guess what, there was another picture of Fords Finest...sorry the Finest ford....TNT Racing xr4x4 Janspeed turbo in Practical performance car magazine last month :grin:
