Default Play date at Martyns.....

Well just got back from sunny Lincoln had a fab time at Martyns.. Rang him during the week and asked if there was any tinkering to be had on his carrier, of course he obliged and so Fraser and I drove down to see him. got to change out some track on both sides, watch him strip and assemble a carb and replace his glacis plate, and have a quick blast up the lanes to boot.

i can say hand on heart that Martyns British Mk2 rebirth has turned out well, she drives like a dream, can turn on a sixpence even in third gear and a round of applause is in order for his build. I have got some short movie clips which i will pop up on Youtube and link to here so you can laugh at me.

me driving Martyn having a good chuckle, my legs fully extended could only just get the clutch right in, changing from 2nd to 3rd, but at least i didnt stall her.

(second two are still processing so will add later)

and Finally Fraser taking the pee out of me shouting to make sure he was in the back ok before i pulled away..
