Hi Jon,

Is it true that ADU is going to be racing at Snetterton......................got to admit that the sound of the engine at NEC just over a year ago got the blood pumping well!!!

I would love to see ADU going round a track again!!!

Julie

P.S. I hope you wern't suggesting that I take over the catering!!! Would prefer to be rebuilding the half shafts!!!

I don't know what's on the bill for snetterton, wrong end of the country for a casual visit from me

regaring the catering, I take my dinner very seriously and wasn't going to relinquish the relish

sounds like you are recruited to the team if you know halfshafts, they're John's Bete Noir at the moment

        Hi Julie, glad to be of assistance, will have the blinged banana (the banana has never been so blinged!) there this year, and at some of the Silverback race fixtures parked next to SB hospitality.... and yes, the SB team does race on it's stomach, what with Jon's garlic sausage and my banana....

    Julie,
    
    You know that you are risking your bank balance when asking Jon for advice on your Spit, as the only advice he will give is to put a 2.5PI engine in it plus the gear box upgrade, plus the suspension & braking upgrade, and then possibly a turbo and EFI using a megasquirt.

      2.5 litres? Phooey!
      
      We've got 3.5 litre engines like other people have mice - all round the garage. Mostly in pieces (we've got cats too)

Yes, Julie it is true - I was at Jigsaw yesterday for a chat with Mark and Jo and Nick and Co - about halfshafts as it happens. But Mark doesn't race with the TSSC in ADU 1B - he's out at Snett with a historic racing series. I saw his TR2 though - sky blue and half built - he had the lads working overtime!
