California and Vegas


Well as a last minute decision we decided to fly out to So-Cal on Sunday to catch up with friends and then head to Vegas this weekend for the Vegas Bugorama. Hopefully along with chilling out we'll be picking up some parts for the re-build! I have a big list so we'll see what we can do!

Norway and end of season..

So yet again I've been a little slack in updating the blog! I must try harder!

We have not long returned from a fantastic trip to Norway for the the Scandinavian Cal-Look Classic (SCC) which was simply superb! We met some amazing people from all over Scandinavia including Christian and Søren from Team Angora Racing (Denmark)who were gracious in allowing us use of their worksop on the way to SCC! We then all hooked up Anders and the guys from Men In Bugs and convoy'd from Denmark to the track. We owe a huge thanks to Anders for arranging our Ferry from Denmark to Norway and for introducing us to a great bunch of friends :) Then when arrived at SCC we met so many people and we really felt 'welcome'! A great trip and we'd definately like to go back.

We got back into England on the Thursday and set off for Avon Park on Friday for an MSA round and it was a weekend of high's and low's. Our good friend Bernard Newbury finally ran the elusive 9 and it was celebrations all round, then the low came... Adele, due to non car related issues, crashed at over 100mph hitting the armco 3 times, thankfully she was not hurt but of course the car sustained some damage. It was mostly limited to the engine and box (and of course the wings/fenders) but having assessed the damage it could have been alot worse. So we want to move forward and not dwell or post everywhere about the accident so I will leave this post with, we will be back next year, stronger and faster ;) Oh and some nice photo's from Norway! Keep checking the blog for (hopefully!) more updates!

We also owe a huge thanks to safety crew at SCR for looking after Adele and all the Outlaw Flat Four guys for helping us with the car!
