alan57 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks john - arms and legs are in short supply now!!! - but I know the end result will be good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Alan, I'm sure XXD will see a race track again soon, just stay away from the TVR!!

alan57 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Getting there! Very shiny!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Alan That looks like a really nice target!! It's looking good. I see you've gone for the diff oil cooler. I look forward to seeing it out on the track again. My own accident repair is some way behind this unfortunately. Regards Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris59 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Nice to see the "rebirth" of this toy, I really like the white/green combo Are the doors in GRP ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan57 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks Chris - all outer panels are GRP/composite, including doors. The strength and safety comes from a strengthened and reinforced inner shell and chassis, and a VERY robust safety cage - including door side bars - it does mean however that it is impossible to get in or out elegantly!!!

Dave McDonald Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Alan I've always regarded your less than graceful entry and egress as a sign of your, uh hum, advancing years!! Sorry, but don't worry, I won't be taking notes to mark your performance on style, just trying to stay in front of you!! Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan57 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Dave, I prefer to call it experience rather than advancing years!! By the way, how are you enjoying retirement(!!!!!) I shall be entirely happy for anyone to be in front of me so as to avoid scratching the immaculate finish (the car, that is!). And you know of course that I am not at all a competitive person! This weekend, weather permitting, we are in a classic run in the road "6" - with everything from 1900 onwards - 500 cars buses lorries and steam rollers - the latter about my speed d'you think?

alan57 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) Close to running!! Edited May 3, 2012 by alan57 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roy53 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Shall be watching closely Dave to see how it should be done then. ROY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan57 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Wowee!!! Due out in Thoro'bred race at Silverstone on Saturday - the first I've seen of the car as finished will be at scrutineering, as not had time to test!!! Very much a shakedown run - tootling around and keeping out of trouble!! Looks like I might need water wings tho!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Alan I hope all goes well. I doubt that you will do much "tootling around" once you get out on track and the Red Mist comes down. Good Luck, I'll be there to cheer you on. Dave McD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellison Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Bloody TVR's (you'd never catch me in one (take that both ways!!)), wihich I bet is more than can be said for the muppet that bought and smacked Steve Watton (Gorgeous Griff up the first time he ventured on track with it!). At least XXD is now back on track and looking great Alan. See you Tomorrow, saw you name down on the entry list. 4 TR6's out, my first time on the Arena track after diff packed up on out lap of Qually last year. Josh will be a hard Target now he is racing most weekends. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan57 Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks Jon - for me - new circuit, freshly rebuilt car, not had my bum in a race car for a year!!! Don't think I'll be bothering you, Josh, or anyone else!! Reality is an uneventful day and a finish - will be just fine!! See you there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jellison Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) Hope we all have that. I will definately will be bothering Josh Can't have him winning it two year in a row. Few fast V8's out though.... Edited June 22, 2012 by jellison Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Good luck Alan, hope all goes well Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris59 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 All the best guys, and please keep us informed of the results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I think....... Josh won. No idea about jon and Alan had a slight cOming together with another 6 Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alan57 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Oops - back to the paint shop!! Sorry Tom!! Josh won, Jon blew a clutch in qualification. XXD greatly admired - until I got my hands on it!!!! Still looks great from the back!! But looks to be only cosmetic - over to you Tom to work your magic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XXD greatly admired - until I got my hands on it!!!! Still looks great from the back!! But looks to be only cosmetic - over to you Tom to work your magic! Yep my clutch started slipping right from the first lap when into the high end of the revs, just got worse. Still 8th (thought I'd be about 20th!), but nothing could be done. Oh well! Next year. I might come out in a TVR (Alan) Glad you finished Alan. Was a cracking race from the grandstands. Josh was swamped on power in the first lap but the inherent lap times he had in the car pulled him through for the win picking them off (Ken Patons D-Type gave him the best run, very close for a good few laps mid to late on).
