I'm going to the Auto Italia show at Brooklands tomorrow. Apparently there'll be some rare Ferraris on the track at MBW, too.

I've been invited as a guest of AmDMilltek. The Golf is doing well so far this season with Tom Onslow-Cole in the driving seat.  :happy2:


Chevrolet is doing better


....My point is that AmDMilltek's racing team is doing better (higher placings) than it was last year in its first season. I wasn't comparing it with other teams. However, it is still early in the series.

Sounds very positive as you would expect.
I hope they have found some more horses and the car creeps it's way up the grid. It wont be for a lack of effort that's for sure.  :happy2:

Will hopefully call by and say hi at some stage.  :smiley:

....Creeping up the grid and gaining points is definitely the plan. Thing is though that it's also everyone else's plan!

Have a great weekend, Ian. You're at Goodwood on Sunday aren't you? Otherwise if at Thruxton txt me  :happy2:
