Hi All I hope all the winter upgrades are now completed or nearing completion! I have a space available for a test day at Curborough next Tuesday 17 March. Cost is £60 and track is open from 10-1 and 2-5. Weather forecast is looking good (sunny spells, 8C). Message me if you are interested. Thanks, Mark

Hi. My garage clear out is continuing! I have a pair of 7 inch chrome headlights for sale which were removed from my 2009 car when I bought it in 2012. These are in excellent condition, the chrome surrounds have only a couple of minor, non-obvious scratches but are otherwise excellent and very shiny. The glass has no scratches or chips. Both headlights come with the headlight and side light bulbs and all wiring. £50 + postage at cost or collection from Cambridge/Newmarket area. Mark

Hi I am looking for a complete set of 4 exhaust manifold pipes for a Sigma engined car. Please contact me if anyone has any lying around. Thanks, Mark

2GBR - it's yours for FOC. I've sent you a message. mark

I found the windscreen I removed from my S3 Superlight (how I miss that car ) in the loft today. It has a black frame which is in good condition and still has all the poppers attached. It doesn't have the stanchions attached and it has a couple of large cracks in the middle and a few bad stone chips. Before I take it to the tip, I thought I would see if anyone was interested in taking it off my hands for free. I am having a go at attaching a photo for the first time so hope it works!! If it doesn't please message me for a picture.

BTTT before I advertise on Pistonheads and eBay this week. Mark

Not suitable dimensions for Jon so the trailer is still available. For information, dimensions are as follows: Overall Length of trailer - 4.6m Overall Width of trailer - 2.05m Load length (from wheel chock to rear edge) - 2.87m Load width (from either side) - 1.65m

Sorry, didn't see last posts. I work just round from Great Chesterford so this could work perfectly! thanks all mark

Ian - thanks for helping with this. I am heading down to Marlow (M11/M25/M40) on Wednesday morning if that works? Mark

I am running with a HANS device this season so I am selling my previous helmet which is a V2 Sport Pro exactly as sold here: http://www.v2sport.com/Pro/V2pro-white-snell-sa2005-msa-standard-racing-helmet-with-chin-skirt-for-open-cabin-vehicles.html The helmet is medium in size and has an MSA sticker (which will save you a few quid!) and is the current MSA approved Snell SA2005 rating. The helmet also sports the club visor sticker which can be seen here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Helmet_zps3c3197a5.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3#/user/markgibson27/media/Helmet_zps3c3197a5.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3&_suid=142107253992409695563970323182 The helmet is in very good condition with only a couple of chips and scratches.

I am selling a full set of Bilstein dampers and springs with adjustable platforms which have been removed from my 2008 S3 De Dion Metric Narrow Track Car (wanted to put as many descriptive terms to make it clear what my car is!). A photo of them is here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Bilsteins_zps084e4580.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3#/user/markgibson27/media/Bilsteins_zps084e4580.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3&_suid=14210722062060187987997815813 There are a few marks and chips here and there on them and the Bilstein labels are mostly not visible so I am only selling for £100 for all four.

Hi. I am selling the differential, propshaft and driveshafts from my 2008 S3 De Dion Sigma car. Differential The differential is the standard Ford open differential as fitted to Academy cars and has the 3.92 ratio (confirmed by the stamping on the casing). This would make a perfect donor diff for anyone wanting to upgrade to a higher geared LSD or just for a replacement diff. The diff can be seen here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Diff_zps7087a7cf.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2#/user/markgibson27/media/Diff_zps7087a7cf.jpg.html?sort=3&o=2&_suid=1421069000392037762612999059913 As can be seen from the photo, the diff is in excellent condition and was working perfectly and quietly prior to removal. These are £1200 from Caterham and I am selling for just £300. Propshaft The propshaft (Caterham Part Number 72286) is the standard fitment between the 5 speed Ford gearbox and the Ford differential (as listed above). The propshaft can be seen here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Prop_zps8b6598f3.jpg.html?filters[user]=141093804&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0#/user/markgibson27/media/Prop_zps8b6598f3.jpg.html?filters%5Buser%5D=141093804&filters%5Brecent%5D=1&sort=1&o=0&_suid=142106956937709526010549671422 As can be seen from the photo, the prop is in excellent condition and still has all the original stickers on it. These are £150 from Caterham and I am selling for just £50. Driveshafts The driveshafts are the standard push fit ones for the Ford differential (as listed above) with Caterham Part Numbers 79061 and 79062. Photos of the LH and RH driveshafts can be seen here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Drive1_zps0a5b3551.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3#/user/markgibson27/media/Drive1_zps0a5b3551.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3&_suid=142107099075705564034069518786 http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Drive1_zps0a5b3551.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3#/user/markgibson27/media/Drive2_zpsa129a3c6.jpg.html?sort=3&o=4&_suid=142107099075705564034069518786 These driveshafts are in excellent condition with the splines still in perfect condition. These are £258 each from Caterham and are currently listed as out of stock. I am selling for just £100 each. Collection from Cambridge/Newmarket area or could arrange for them to be collected from Marlow (Bucks) if more convenient. Please message me or call on 07900 266 777. Mark

I am selling my Brian James Minno Trailer which has the following specification: - low level wheel rack - lockable storage box (capable of holding 3 x 20 litre jerry cans) - manual winch - centre boards - lockable tow hitch - locking wheel clamp I have owned the trailer since 2009 and it has always been garaged and has been serviced every year. It tows really well and I have never had any problems with it. The tyres are all in good condition and still have at least 5mm tread left. All of the lights work and the electrics have been converted to 13 pin (to fit my mondeo) but I still have the 7 pin plug if that is preferred. The trailer is in excellent condition and can be seehttp://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Trailer_zps59038c80.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/markgibson27/media/Trailer_zps59038c80.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0&_suid=1421068006153046232572808684047n here: http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/markgibson27/media/Trailer_zps59038c80.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0#/user/markgibson27/media/Trailer_zps59038c80.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0&_suid=1421068006153046232572808684047 £1495 Collection from Newmarket Mark Message me or call on 07900 266 777

I thought so too Chris, although his voice did sound a bit muffled so maybe he was eating the drawings?? anyway, the power of blatchat means I will have a much better, bespoke setup. thanks guys

Thanks Roger. I spoke to Brian James again today and they have confirmed that not only have they stopped selling the tyre rack for the Minno shuttle but they have also destroyed the drawings so can't even make one up for me Luckily, Richard has provided me with exactly the information I need

Thanks Stuart, I didn't think of that. I will call them back and see what they say. Richard - YHM

Thanks Chris, this looks like a really good option. My priority is sorting the wheel rack as I don't really want to store my 4 spare wheels in the Caterham itself so once this has been done these holders look perfect for bolting in the space left.

I have just purchased a second hand Minno Shuttle without a wheel rack or jerry can holder and Brian James have informed me that they no longer stock these accesories for the Minno Shuttle. I know its a long shot but does anyone know of any availble wheel racks/jerry can holders suitable for Minno Shuttle? Thanks, Mark

Hi Mankee, I have bought a few things from Will (really sorry Gary ). Would you mind collecting them for me? I believe you have been to my house previously to collect some bits from Shaun (Exning, Newmarket). Contribution to Ntl of course. I have sent you a private message but my email address is markgibson27 at hotmail.co.uk. Thanks Mark

that's a no then.

has attached correctly

That's a fab photo Mark. 😬 You can have some fun with Zoe now as she repeats what you say to her. I will try today to get her to say calm down just for you By the way, the trailer in the photo reminds me of Simon's original covered trailer See you later Mark

Gill - I did see that we had been promoted to a C2 paddock space and Mr D has been demoted to C24 but I also noticed that C1 isn't allocated to anyone so fully expecting to have Mr D as a neighbour I think Steve and Julie have taken pity on us because they know we are competing for the first time together while looking after Zoe and won't have as far to walk 😳

Thanks Comp Scorer Glad to see our names on the entry list as I was worried I had forgotten to send an entry form in. I have competed in quite a few sprints but I am particularly looking forward to this weekend - I can't wait to have a go at the new layout. Looking forward to catching up with you all. Mark
