I will be competing at the fastest circuit in the UK at the weekend in my 2nd gen car 'Old Bumble' in an historic race (vintage to you guys!). I will try to post some footage up after the event.

The other thing I should add is that the 2nd gen goes in the older pre-74 championship currently and unfortunately merged with the pre 83's the 3rd gen goes in the pre 93's which encompass the all concouring BMW M3's and Sierra Cosworths and other turbo flyers so it will only be a lower midfield runner there or has been pre modifications! However in both championships there is a plus 4000cc class so all the Turbos less the Toyota Supra out with me are in different classes. I would like to get on pace with the V12 Jags and the Supra that are in my class with the 3rd gen. Mind you some of those guys at least the one with the Jag XJ12 Saloon will not bat an eyelid at a $30k engine rebuild where as all mine are home built efforts so to finish on the same lap has some satifaction in my car with a self built engine standing me in sub $5000!
