Default The Hornet is finished
Just finished restoring my 1984 Hornet so thought I would upload some pics.
Work done includes new bearings, steering linkage, axle springs and wheels, I've stripped and repained the body + applied new decals.

Not quite a shelf queen but not far off:

You can't run carpet in Clubman - it's against the rules.

... I think Chris will try a magic carpet ride.

We do, just some drivers ignore them but don't worry it'll be enforced for series 3.

It will probably be quicker riding on a magic carpet.

Perhaps we should buy some pub carpet for the next series - a lot more interesting than racing on that grey crap!

I also think we should ban girls' blouses from the rostrum, especially in the Touring class.
