at Donington on 1 July

No vids unfortunately as the car was only out for the 1st two sessions before low oil pressure meant it was parked up but during those sessions I was very pleased with the handling and the engine as far as I pushed it (which wasn't very far)

Also I need to reinforce the leading edge of the bonnet to stop the "Elvis impersonations"

and some more pics and a little vid clip

These were taken at the weekend for the insurance company. It finally got a polish, a mere 10 months after being painted

but still hasn't had the interior done but as I've got a new seat to go in to match the Forza it'll get done then

The o/s exhaust is blowing slightly from the collector so it pops and bangs a touch at the moment

New full stainless system being made for it as we speak

As it was a nice day on Saturday I decided to get the car out of hibernation for the day

This is it warmed up when washing it at the garage. I've just fitted new back boxes with rotational baffles (they're sitting slightly low at the moment but will be raised soon). This is with the boxes on the "quiet" setting.

Bit of a fly past - still only revving it to 4 - 4500rpm as it's not fully run in but it's sounding well
