Just a quick post to say Hi to the Team & hello to the supporters :clap:

I'm looking forward to Sunday so fingers crossed for the weather and both fingers crossed that nothing brakes at Time Attack the day before :pray: Regardless I'll be there to help out where needed and to help fly the MR2 flag nice and high! \:D/

Off to bed now thanks to a 3am start tomorrow. 10hrs up to Knockhill so I'm told :( #-o Take care of yourselves and your cars till Sunday chaps, then feel free to try your best to brake both in an attempt to put the wind up the big boys lol

Mitch......can you possibly text me your mobile number....(07941-943-182)
It would be nice to be able to reach you if needs be!

Chaps...

good luck to you all. I so wanted my car ready for this, however, getting hold of Adrian over the last few week to finish off the mapping has been a PITA. He's so busy with events, etc etc, my car is still incomplete :( .

I won't be attending either, am down in Dubai for a few days, however the MR2 will be (white, carbon bonnet, white te37s, mental engine bay). John @ Jems is driving it up to put some more mileage on the car, so feel free to have a gander!

Again, good luck to you all!!!

If things go to plan we might even make a pretty good impact on the overall team competition :)
