Now confirmed for
October 24 th 6:30 kick off at Roddisons Motorsport Shepcote Lane Sheffield S9 1US

Well I’m coming down from Aberdeenshire for that this time, as we will have two good guys giving their opinions and expertise.
As soon as you post a date on the forum, we will book a few days in the Peak District for walking and come up to Sheffield for the Tech night. Well the good lady may not come up to the tech night!
Paul is racing at Thruxton this afternoon - in about half an hour, lets hope the song does not progress to ‘Six knackered gearboxes sitting on a shelf’ it is a version 6 gearbox, purchased last week, so fingers crossed it will be up to the task.
Jon Halliwell is on pole, he replaced his gearbox after Pembrey,
I am told Ian Loversidge and Jeremy Shipley 's Mk4’s both had their boxes replaced under warranty whilst they were road cars.
I will ask him when I next call in, as far as I am aware it will be the one that let him down at the last charity track day, but as there are another two MAX5 race meetings between now and then who knows !!
Historically the early boxes have only lasted 3 events, but this is a later box in the race car.
Guess the mileage, put it on his facebook page (August 22nd) and if you guess the right mileage win a free MOT or alignment.
The question was asked very much tongue in cheek. I expected and deserved a far less polite response!
Yes, but as a Z Sport owner, who has darkened your door and purchased badges, I am therefore ‘gentry’ would not give a tongue in cheek reply to another gentleman !!
There’s quite a lot of interest in this from various places including across the pond… if there was an option to video from a couple of angles and also some good quality stills I know a lot of people would appreciate seeing this.
Maybe you could go ‘live’ on social media with this at the time too?
