That's the one! My neighbour used to be a racing driver and knew Richard through that. I think this was all pre GTI Engineering days though. He now does Rally Driving instruction when he can but was in a bad smash a few years back and shattered his hip and hasn't been able to walk properly ever since.

i think mine was during some transitional/renaming period due to the RLR badge. damn, so they were both struck with bad luck!... richard was in a private plane and it plumeted into someones house!... he was driver too and started RLR afterwards which later became GTI Engineering.

20 psi idle was at the filter housing.

Yeah no ARP bolts or fancy crank :-(

Well the starter motor now only works with application of a BFH. A new one is required me thinks!

Bird death!

Hit a pheasant @ 70 (honest gov) on the way back from DATP. Front valance has actually ripped, number plate is missing presumed dead and there's lots of blood and feathers all over the rad. Doh!
