I did fall weak and bought a cat 2000 98 today but it was shiney.


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.

[Dyna]

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

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 !

[axeman]

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

[Balders]

Also gave them boats ago. built that boat at Doug Watsons modeling club.

[Balders]

Awesome Steve!

[Dyna]

Nice retro shots Steve !

Where was Caldicots outdoor track in that picture then ?

[axeman]

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.

[axeman]

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

[Dyna]

Havent you been at work then ??

I reckon you'll be suprised how well the old CAT 2000's go

What are you running in it - all the gear from your Mid44 ?

[axeman]

Yes Mid44 needs full service so gave me an excuse to play with these for a few months.
