If you fellow Petrolheads have nothing better to do on Sunday, this event starts around miday and it's going to be a good day weather wise, Post Code for the Common, best parking is SL6 9NZ. Come along, it's FUN! I am the STIG, far to old but if I keep my helmet on I may get away with it

Hi, shame you missed it, if my computer skills are any good, doubtful, there may be a few photos below?
Had a problem, the weight of me over the rear axle meant the front wheels were not in contact with the ground, very much! Steering interesting! Thought I had sorted it by putting a "small" block of concrete on the front after borrowing it from a onlookers garden but the scrutineer was not happy and would not let me do the second run with it so tried to sit more forward and did go a lot quicker and safer! It was a cracking afternoon, hope you may make it next year? Many thanks for your help, Martin

Ho bloody ho! I think it may have been static electricity. Needless to say I have had various comments on this, not many complimentary!
