    Had a moment at the dyno yesterday when I thought I migh have to cancel ........ for some reason after the first set of dyno pulls one of the gear cables stuck... I did think it might have been the gearbox until I disconnected the cable, but thankfully the box is ok... as is the cable it would appear that the harness buckle had got jammed in my fancy linkage... another reason to wear seat belts!

    Sorry I cannot be there as am on way to a rally of Fulvias in Belgium. If anyone takes some hi-res photos and emails them to me at tim348@aol.com I will try to get a press release out to promote the club to the wider motoring world.

    Thanks

    We had a good day on Thursday, a bit of rain before lunch made the track interesting , but it didnt last long & the track soon dried out..

    I had Alfie with me a wing man.... & we managed to be a couple of seconds faster than Bob
