Thanks Optiman :) I'm using an Olympus E400 to take the pictures. It's old but a nice bit of kit.

Not sure on the Challenger motor. Still got it somewhere so will dig it out and confirm.

I really fancy having a crack at running one of my vintage runners around a proper track but having not raced before, I don't think I'll be much good at it :(

Still I'll have a ponder :)

Yep, that's the one. The chassis is indeed alloy. I think the chassis and shocks are the only difference on the Adonis compared to the Intruder.
