Mark, believe me, from the calls I've received recently, folks out there are DEFINATELY as exited as you!!!

I am so pleased that Team Jigsaw are racing at LMC again this year, you made a stunning performance in 2004 and I bet you'll outdo yourselves in 2006.

All of your crew are welcome to visit the marquee at Tertre Rouge - as are the other Triumph/Peerless teams. We are one of the biggest clubs visiting Le Mans this year so you are assured of support !

Hope the Silverstone testing goes to plan and we'll see you in France.

  We are definitley excited!, I was at Silverstone yesterday when Colin & Helen Elstrop were talking to John Davies, had a chat with them (must say very nice approachable people!) and Colin even enquired about the cars we're taking over to LeMans, so I told him about my Blinged Banana - maybe he'll take some of my tips on board..... were 'all chrome' steering wheels allowed on ADU1b back in the day? we'll see......

    I am sure back in the day- modern forged pistons, avo shocks etc where also not part of the deal were they. FIA standards aren't quite as stingent as they once were, I reckon that wheel would easily pass as genuine

      in the days yes they ran armstong adjustable shocks and an alcan fully forged piston of which i we had copyed as it seems a shame to ruin the cars running with forty year old pistons that aparently had problems even then but hey when were out there racing in ten days with all the smiles thats what its about
