Thats great info Andy, it,ll help lots of builders now & in the future who fit the GRP bodywork ........I think this thread should be made into a "Sticky" in the bodywork section as its info that will always be needed.

The Roadster Race car sounds great as its now putting the Roadster into view of other racers which can only help the long term future of the Roadster, it,ll be great to have Roadsters on the race track actually racing rather than just on track days, well done Saturn

The track day in February....mmmm I,m up for a bit of that, my car is track ready so will be a nice shakedown run prior to the IVA in March, count me in please .

cheers
andy

No Rob,

We're going to have a mild February, hope so i am sick of trying to glass and work in -10, just makes it more or less impossible. And the big gas heater costs a fortune and hardly warms the place up.

Need to have some fun come February.......

This time a year ago I went to Lapland and spent 6 days there,landed at Kittila inside the Arctic circle and drove for three hours north to Sarriselka not far from Murmansk on the Russian border.

-18 when we landed and down to -32 on top of the fells at night,so the point of the post is a chilly track day at Teeside will be a pleasant change allthough I was never struck on Bovril.

Good Christmas one and all.

ps. Spud,did a bit of digging and that company is Teamtrain and Gateshead College and engine from HWR racing.
