Also still waiting for my Cat 2000 ec to arrive.

Here's my vintage Rule that I think would be cool and fun!!! 80's style clothes for all Vintage Racers. So dig out your shell suits.

Ohhh i can do 80's get-up no bother - ive even got my 'Loads of Money ' Harry Enfield T-shirt somewhere... :woot:

Nice ride that Steve, you on a Schumacher hunt then ?!?

Tell you what, you get that running & ill drive my old Predator XK98 that night - we'll have our own 1997/8 vintage heat !

My plan is too run this car for a good few weeks and shelf the mid44 for a while.

I'm gunna try and mix it with best!!

so aiming it to be running this friday

That's nice Steve, do you have a axeman style body
shell on the way for it?

Awesome Steve! :)

Nice retro shots Steve !

Where was Caldicots outdoor track in that picture then ?

the club took over a dis-used bmx track in portskwett.
I was a full multi surface track.
Clay doubles, brick dog pit. grass and tarmac.

I wish I could find some better pics. I will talk to glyn jessop I'm sure he have some lying around.

2000ec arrived today and the 98 is ready for friday night.

What a productive day I have had.

PS the old style shocks are a pain in the ass
