Stuart - I can see you've fallen for Shaun's publicity literature! The reality of it is: we have seats, pedals and a steering wheel we have an engine bolted into the engine bay, a radiator bolted toward the front of the car, there's also a gearbox BUT we have no hoses or horses or cables We are still a long way from the rolling road! So same old story in the Elwell garage! Still, plenty of time ...... Fear not Class 5, the plan will come together, won't it!

I guess the 1 thing I can do is enter the Championship - not that we have a competitive car for any class! Same old same old!

Congratulations Robin and welcome back! Adrian Williams - General Secretary? - are you stealing back my gig? I can let you have all the files back 😬

THE BINDERS HAVE ARRIVED 😬 I am getting them ready to dispatch and next week Sam will contact those people who have placed orders to arrange collection of payment. Once we have received payment, I will send your parcel on its way

a well used saying in our house - can't think why 😬

absolutely NO progress has been made in relocating the engine from the garage floor to the empty engine bay due to flu - that's real flu - striking down both of us ☹️ To give an idea of how serious this has been, virtually no alcohol has been consumed in the past 5 days and a bottle of champagne lasted 2 days

You Guys 😬 I have decided to use my powers only for good - I'll let you decide how that affects you! As for shoes and bags (or anything else, for that matter), everything is sorted - I now have a Club cheque book 😬

Simon - Forgot to say - maybe word has got out that I have a purple belt now!

No Limits - you're right, it must be something to do with the change of manufacturer! Jerry - here's hoping (but I'm not holding my breath!) Malcolm

We have an empty engine bay, an engine sitting on the garage floor waiting to be installed and a box of car bits in the lounge

Oh really!

I shall be going cocktail rather than long (Rogers, I have my eye on you - and not in a good way ). And I shall be wearing THE shoes 🥰 (Rogers, I may even be able to look you straight in the eye, but if they're not high enough I can always practise one of my moves on you - again not in a good way ) 😬

Good effort and thank you Simon - it's just a shame that the start of the season is 6 months away (not that we could compete right now - slight problem of an engineless car AGAIN ).

Crikey there are issues even I can understand This has certainly stimulated some 'lively' debate in our house - I'm not sure I've changed Shaun's mind but he's not changed mine either 😬 Time is running out for you to have your say so you know what you have to do ......

Menu sounds great - good job I've finally bought our tickets! Now I just need to find something to wear 😬

Yes my T1 was an interesting run! The first 23 seconds or so of the run had gone well and I was willing myself to be braver and go faster through the twisty, narrow, dark section when the back of the car tried to overtake the front. I didn't think I had put my foot down that much but backed off a bit anyway to take control back. Then the front wheels seemed to encounter some 'black ice' (which I thought was a bit weird too, given that no-one else had mentioned it and it hadn't been there in practise)! I realised that something had happened at the back of the car, but more urgently that the first hairpin was imminent. I took it steady and managed to get round it safely and just concentrated on getting up the hill to the next hairpin and around it *eek* The journey back down the hill was even slower and more nerve wracking - the steering wheel and the front wheels were not cooperating with each other and half way down I realised that I was steering to the left in order to travel straight on. Thankfully the only damage that was done was to my time ☹️ and Shaun didn't miss a run I have learnt that my reactions and car control are better than I thought they were Edited by - Gill E on 11 Sep 2012 18:08:32

Shaun - is that you saying "oopps" at the end of that spin 😬 TM - I think you'll find that there were others who had grassier moments than that after Mr E went for his little excursion! Some Class 4 gentlemen, perhaps? Gill

Class 4 looks interesting!

pushing a spare tyre (black round thing not cuddley waist) round a lap!

Did I read somewhere that "they" are looking for suggestions for activities for the annual Caterham v Westfield challenge? And did I also read that the Comp Sec from each Club is being given the task of defending their Club's honour? OK to start the ideas ball rolling what about doing a version of 'pin the tail on the donkey' but instead of a donkey, it's a car and instead of a tail there's a 3 digit race number to be applied to both sides of the car and the blind fold is a crash helmet with the visor covered over? Has any one got any other ideas?

I hope that this applies to future events and not affect those caps already won but not delivered

30 second penalty's worth of ouch!!
